Re: towing?
I towed my Suzuki Samurai from Nor Cal to Moab and back, 1,800 miles round trip with no problems and got 12 mpg to boot. The Sammy and trailer weigh 4,400 lbs. Once you're rolling it pulls great.  |

Re: towing?
I pull a fully loaded trailer of dirtbikes & quads most weekends, 80 mph no problem, but with the auto trans, it shifts around way too much, works really hard to keep speed, gotta put it in 3rd on big hills.
Used my wife's Jeep Commander (yup, it's got a Hemi) to pull the load up North one weekend, that thing's got some balls!...but it was all foo foo leather & clean inside, didn't even want to take it out back on my trails for fear of rippin' some PLASTIC off her.
I digress....the H3 pulls fine, just don't go over the load.

You should have it in 3rd at all times when towing. 4th or "D" is basically our overdrive gear. I keep mine in 3rd even when pulling my trailer empty (1,500 lbs). There's less than a 2,000 rpm difference from 4th "D". |
