    Do you like your H3? Does it have enough power? What engine do you have?
    I drive my wife crazy fixin my VX all the time and I might consider an H3.

    LOVE IT! I have the 3.7L I5. Its rated at 242HP. I'm content with its power, although I feel GM should've slapped the LL8 into it if they could've. I've added a K&N CAI and it helped alot, especially at higher rpms. I highly recommend the truck. Its very fun to drive. Although it gets about the same mileage as the VX. If you do buy an H3 try to stay away from the 06' model year. the 2006's had the 3.5L at 220HP and customers complained it was a dog with that engine. Not to mention some were known to have cylinder misfires. If you have the cash get an Alpha. Another bonus is that you can fit 35's under the wheel wells with very minimal TB adjust.

    I would cross this:





    With This:



    And then paint it orange mica,
    Or some other awesome color.
    But I would forever pine for another VX.

    They are both Suzuki X-90s. What I like about the yellow one is practically everything and what I like about the red is the hard top.
    I'd also want the back of the X-90 converted to something like the bed of the Sidekick so that the hard top could be removed and it be like a pickup truck.
    But those are just big dreams.

    PS: I LOVE Scouts, just about always have.

    Good info. I am looking at an 06 and it has a 3.5. I will take your advice and avoid.

    My answer: I like the Toyota tacoma club cab short bed 4x4 and it is likely to be my next vehicle.

    If you do get the 06', just get an extended powertrain warranty on it. That will take care of the problem if it happens to arise. There are plenty of people who have not experienced that problem.
