Hi All,
I have been waiting for a desert orange h3x to come in at the dealer I work at. Well it came in today and has a dent in the roof the size of a quarter and sunk in about 4" around the dent. We had one come in last week with the same exact dent. I guess I am kind of anal when it comes to dents and scratchs in a brand new truck. There is another h3x that the deal fell through and it seems to be dent and scratch free. I was originally going to order a H3 with lux pkg,off road pkg,yellow with ebony leather and chrome goodies which will save me about $800. I will be doing some off roading but nothing to drastic and only 3-4 times a year and wonder if the off road pkg is worth getting. I like the look of the h3x but also like the off road look. I can have the h3x tommorow and would have a 6-8 week wait for the h3. I guess I am now leaning toward ordering a H3 and hope the incentives stay in place or go up. What kind of opinions to you guys and gals have on this. Thanks steve

h3x to me looks kinda weird....
personally get a h3 w/adventure package. it looks so nice. i just bought one friday. the tires and little more lift definatly turns heads. and the locking differential is good to have when you wanna have some extra fun. just look at an x and look at an adventure. the adv looks no much more agressive. and if you ever plan to be in mud... tires make a world of difference...

I'm with Mel..for the extra money for the X it ain't worth it..I'm not a big fan of a painted grille or a suitcase for a spare tire cover..so if you can stand the wait..go for the H3.

Personally I bought the X because it had all the goodies.. but then again, I don't plan on off-roading.. I just liked the look of the Desert Sun paint on it...

I am going to either order or find a dealer trade. The reason I would go dealer trade is there is a extra $500 incentive money till 11/15 in my area. I have another question is the navigation unit worth getting? I have never had a navigation unit before and don't know how much I would use it. Thanks Steve

IMO what you got on your rig now meets or exceeds what the H3X has on it in a lot of respects...Aside from the painted grille and the big color coordinated locking tire cover..there is not much else different.
From the sounds of it your's is like mine a little...Nice color choice I might add

Well I got a Yellow with ebony H3 with adventure,lux package,chrome package,chrome wheels,xm,sunroof and side roof air bag. It will be here friday and was a dealer trade that I located. I will have to add a couple things like roof rack,side steps, chrome fuel door and brush guard but that is dealer installed anyway. I did not get the Navagation system but I would not use it a lot anyways and would like to load more than one cd at a time. Will post pics when I get it. Steve

You made a wise choice and it sounds like a really sharp truck........post pics when available. I just purchasesd an OEM SS brushguard off of e-bay for $550 and the guy had one more. This could save you some $$$ as opposed to paying the dealer price. Look around ebay (there were also great deals on chrome bold on mini-grilles)

Thanks for the kudos on the new truck. I only have about 70 miles on it so far and I love it.
MyH3hummer on my out the door price I work at the dealer I bought from and got GMS pricing. Sticker on my truck was 39,930 and GMS was 35,179. I also got another 1250 incentive money but could not use 1500 in gm card earning (was told can't use it with gms pricing) which I didn't like. They gave me 19330 for my 2003 silverado SS with 54k on it so I think they gave me a good deal. Steve

Nice Truck - I think the decision comes down to intent.. For me, spending the extra $$ was not really a second thought because A.) I know it will never see trails/mud. B.) I wanted Desert Sun Metallic/Morocco inside C.) I just didn't have time to look/spend money for all the upgrades. Again, I love the H3 that you got, but to each their own I suppose... 22's will be on mine in a month!
