Anyone give up their truck for an H3?

[wpage]

Sold my Explorer. Got a trailer for the H3...

Sold my 04 murano (not realy a truck)
I have put several 12 foot 1x6 inch decking on the roof with no trouble.

Anything to big or heavy I borrow my mother in laws p/u truck or rent the home depot truck for $19.99 for 90 minutes.

I have a pick-up (rarely used) and an H3 (used much) that I bought after trading in my Explorer Sport. Hands down - best 4x4 ride I have had. I haven't had a moment yet that I couldn't carry the cargo I needed to in the H3 - this has included two 55 gallon drums with room to boot and I am sure I could have placed a third one in there with a little bit of placement engineering.

If you have the room and the extra cash, may I suggest a cargo trailer similar to what Home Depot or Gander Mt. sells. They are relatively inexpensive (under $1,000 I believe) and would serve 99% of your hauling needs should your needs require above and beyond what the H3 can haul. Also, Home Depot and Lowe's rent trucks for relatively heavy duty if the need arises. Something like $19.99 per 75 minutes or so as Fourfourto suggested.

I would have bought a trailer this myself but I really don't have the room to park one right now.

You've got a Gander Mt. near you? How are they? There is one opening up in a couple of weeks about two blocks from here. Looking forward to checking that place out

Yes, like five minutes from me. I love it and do business there quite frequently - likely more than I should be They are very well rounded and dependent upon your outdoor hobby, they should have you covered. Most prices are reasonable. I recently bought a case of ammo and the cost was less than online distributors as I didn't have to pay the shipping (an extra $50). I have also bought much fishing gear, bait, and a Benelli shotgun there with no complaints



Curious - where are you?

Very cool, looking forward to it opening. I am guessing I will probably spend too much there too. I am in Lake Mary, FL which is in the Orlando area.
