Default H3 FAQ - Vehicle Comparison

Here are some comparisons of H3 specs with other midsize SUVs. I included the H1 and H2 just for grins

Each model is a 4x4 with options specific to its model year. I chose the most powerful engine in the most aggressive off-road package, with all towing and safety options available from the factory. So they're all factory specs (no aftermarket) gleaned from manufacturers or public sources.

Most of the specs are straight out of the books. Some are calculations for a combined result. For example, given the gear ratios and tire size, you can calculate vehicle speed at a given RPM.

Crawl Speed - estimate engine braking at 1500 RPM in 1st gear and 4-lo ... calc is less accurate for autos because of torque converter slippage.

Crawl Speed @ max HP - calculates the crawl speed using the RPM at maximum HP. Ignores benefit of torque converter.

Crawl Speed @ max torque - calculates the crawl speed using the RPM at maximum torque. Ignores benefit of torque converter. Also, does a disservice to engines with good low-end torque like the I5, compared to others with a more bell-shaped torque curve.
