Hey guys, just joined what looks like a GREAT forum for Hummer owners and enthusiasts. I have not pulled the trigger on purchase yet, but have decided I *do* want the H2. The only real question I am agonizing over is which year and what options.

First question is which year. My family and I like to go on trips with our 30' travel trailer, so towing capacity is somewhat of a concern and thus has me torn between a 2007, which would be slightly more affordable, and a 2008 which has significantly higher (spec) towing capacity. Are there other options that the 2008 has underneath that would make it preferred over the 2007 when it comes to towing or other non-paved pursuits?

Second is options. I am pretty new to absorbing H2 culture and aftermarket tweaks, so the newbie question here is whether trying to find a slightly used H2 with all of my desires on-board is worth the wait until one becomes available, or would an almost-perfect H2 be suitable for now with options that could be added later. The options I am referring to are the air suspension package mostly. Bottom line, if you were looking to buy a H2 today, what must-have factory options would you demand and what options would you forgive, knowing that you could add-on later?

I am sure that we will have many conversations going forward. I am the new guy and have a lot to learn, so I may just be lurking for a while until I can say something worthwhile and not waste your time.

Thanks guys.
