H2 VS. H3--Which would you choose?

[timgco]

OK, so as of now, we have an SUT and and H3. I drive both every week. For driving in the city I prefer the H3 just for parking and turning around in smaller areas. On the HWY, I prefer the ride of the H2 better but like the gas mileage better on the H3.

I just came back from Moab with "THE GROUP." All I can say is that the H2's off road abilities are great. I think the H3 could have done the trails we were on, but may have had some issues with climbing up onto (not over) some of the ledges.

I have made a choice to get an H3 and to sell my SUT. I do not tow anything or have a family other than my sig. other and two dogs. So I don't really need a fullsize rig. I do not think the off road capabilities are better on one over the other in the real world on or off road. It's driver most of the time. I think the ground clearance issue can be helped by some larger tires and will also help out the AA and DA a little too. Next would be to lift the rig and that would increase the AA and DA angles a little and get the body up a little higher.

Comparing one truck to the other (as stated before on quite a few other threads) cannot be done with apples to apples. If you must have the Ultimate off road vehicle go build a buggy.
