H2Rocks has been from OR, to our house, and wheeled a few times along the way with no issues. Plus she's always traveling somewhere pulling her big arse trailer around.

Just get in the truck and go.

As Ken stated, my wife and I have completed 4 major trips. Two trips on the right coast each lasting 4 weeks and over 4500 miles. These were warm up trips for our 2 cross-country trips. These were over 7500 miles lasting over 8 weeks each time. We did Moab on both trips and threw in the Rubicon on one of them.

Is the H2 capable - YES!

Back and forth many, many times from Las Vegas to San Diego (350miles) at 90+ MPH often thru the desert in summer.

Long trip this summer though southern and northern california, fully loaded with bicycle on roof also at "high" highway speeds.

Rides Great EXCEPT FOR THE DAMN WIND NOISE.
Mechanically perfect.
Very comfortable.

Thanks for all the responses. Seems that there is not a problem. I did a search and found a few posts about cooking the transfer case and the theory was the prolonged heat/speed fried it. From reading all of these threads seems that was a fluke.

Thanks again to all.
