The Jeep Rubicon is probably up there as well in the top 3 best factory capable vehicles. I dont think that the H2 was supposed to be a capable off roader from the factory, I think the H3 was more headed in that direction. Smaller, lighter, better clearence, bigger tires, etc. But honestly how many people are out there running Moab and The Rubicon daily, a handful, maybe. To the wifeys and the occasional mountain explorer or skiier/snowboarder its more about status then capability, and most 4x4s will get the job done. Try running the Little/Old Sluice or Soup Bowl (Rubicon Trail) in a stock H2, not happening. I like H3s and will be buying one, test drove last night, and it will be my first GM vehicle, so just letting everyone know before I get bashed, that I love em, and Im buying one.

Well then we can count on you to join us on our next Rubicon trip?

Not even a stock h3 could do soupbowl, Little Sluice.

Old sluice could be done, but not without some guaranteed body damage. And we are not talking a couple of scratches either.

I have wheeled in both and they are both capable. The H2 is FAR more comfortable while wheeling. I drove a friends last weekend and he almost didn't get it back...

Can't wait to catch up with you on the trail.....

Hey Sewie, looks like we've got another hardcore guy to wheel with!
