Definitly lacking power. The 220HP doesn't do much for the get up and go department. Other wise, it is a nice truck. Big inside, handles well...good brakes. A little "floaty" on the road, but nothing major. Back seats are at a better angle than my H2's, but it is harder to get in/out because of the rear wheelwell cutting into the door.

Only other downside is that it just lacks the presence of the H2...a given since the pure size has been cut down.

Is it slow as in snail like or is it just not a sports car like truck? Will it cruise a highway at 90mph with no problem or would that be working it to hard?

Agreed, I want to know the details as well.

Will it keep up with traffic @70-80MPH? Can you pass someone easily on the highway?

I own a 02 Z06 Corevette for power and get up and go when i want it. I want the H3 for utility and MPG for a daily beater. If I want HP I get in the Z and pound some pavement!

I figure a 0-60 time in the 9 second range and the quarter in high 16's. It will cruise at 90 and pass ok. Its just with the other like type trucks coming with more HP, I thought GM would at least put in 250-270HP, like in the Envoy.
