Re: H3 Adventure, 5Speed - scarce
Yes, I can order one, but I believe orders now are for 2009 models. And there's a $7000 - $8000 rebate on all 08's. So I was looking to upgrade and save a little $ at the same time.

Re: H3 Adventure, 5Speed - scarce
This may be stupid, but how will a sun roof change head room clearance ??

Re: H3 Adventure, 5Speed - scarce
If he is really tall he can stick his head out the sunroof.

Re: H3 Adventure, 5Speed - scarce
I have an adventure with the manual and sunroof. I believe the figure is only 5% of H3's have the manual transmission. So your chances are not very good to find the right combo.
How tall are you? I am 6'4" and do not hit my head.
If you order an 09' you could get front and rear lockers.

Re: H3 Adventure, 5Speed - scarce
Sunroof reduces the ceiling inside the cab to give room for the glass to retract under the top of the truck.
I'm only 6'0". But when I sit up straight, my head hits the roof. I bet at 6'4" , yours does too. Yes, I could tilt the seat back, but I still hit my head at times. I had an Infiniti QX4 (Pathfinder), that had a sunroof. I loved the truck but it bugged for for 4 years that I didnt have enough head room in it. And one of the reasons I bought the H3, is because it has enough headroom (when no sunroof is installed).
Wow, about 5% are 5 Speeds. Interesting. Thanks. That would explain it. I knew it was a minority, but didnt think it was that little.
Oh well, I'll keep looking. Wait til the H3T comes to my dealer in a few months. And keeping an eye out for the Hx.

Re: H3 Adventure, 5Speed - scarce
That is too funny, I usually hit my head in my vehicles, but the H3 has been one of the few that I do not. FWIW if I sit straight up and down I hit my head, but I never drive sitting prim and proper.
In 06 I had to order mine to get the manual transmission and the other goodies I wanted.

Re: H3 Adventure, 5Speed - scarce
I also don't understand how the sunroof can be possibly in the way - mine is actually sort of recessed into the roof, so if anything it in fact gives more room above the head (or right half of head better to say) then if there would be plain roof. I'm 6' as well...
Maybe there are different types of sunroofs on H3s out there? HummerHippy, can you please post a picture of those sunroofs if you happen to have one?
