The H3 is a chic sized H2. From certain perspectives it looks like a Jeep.
I looked at an H3 several weeks ago. They said the H3 sits on the Colorado frame.

Yeah the H3's are incredibly small on the inside...and I believe they're powered by the same 5 cylinder motor the Colorado's are. I wouldn't get an H2 or an H3...save your money and buy the Chevy version of those trucks, probably less money and better gas mileage. I wouldn't wanna tow with the H2 or H3 either.

Re: h3 or f250 owners
Well I just sold an H3, very small on the inside and 220hp, might be O.K for around town with kids but thats about all. If the wind blows it will stop it, way under powered. They say there coming out with a V8 or diesel so I would wait if you really want one. It's not a re bodied trailblazer it's a Colorado truck frame and engine. No real complaints other than power.

Re: h3 or f250 owners
Go with either the ford F-250 diesel or an Excusion diesel. Either of these will do you fine with no problems.The excursion diesel might be allittle harder to get your hand on that being a good one with low miles and you don't want a v-10 because you will get around 12mpg unless you don't care about that.Just my 2cents worth.

Re: h3 or f250 owners
I have had a H2 and a F-250 in the last two years and my wife has had two Denali XL's in the same time and I would definitely stick with the new Denali or go with an Escalade. We have one ordered right now.
H3 is very small and very underpowered. The Ford is nice but tough to haul the family with their friends (good power with a Powerstroke).
