In my opinion the 3.7 is the way to go.....Adequeate Power, does great off road (Adv Package). From what i am hearing at the local dealers in my area is they are more willing to deal on the 3.7.

Wolf - what have you heard about the 3.6?? I've seen the rumor/info on different sites but some say it won't have the low end torque of the 3.7. If I can add 20+ HP and TQ then is it worth the wait - especially with first year "issues". I don't know enough on the 3.6 to know if I should hold out a little longer or go with the 3.7.
Forney - I live in Elkhorn - wait west "Omaha" - thanks to annexation. Once I get one we'll have to hook up.
I appreciate everyone's input. Sounds like if I get the deal I'm hoping for the 3.7 is good to go. Then if I could find the Adventure pkg I'd really be doing good.
Right now I am going to go outside and slam my head into the driveway for passing up on the Adventure H3. I should have listened to the voice in my head. Sigh.................

I think I might rephrase that if I were you.

By the way. Go with the 3.7 and use the extra $ for a bike.

Good Point Black Impala - let me rephrase it as: once I get my H3 we'll have to go wheeling.
Thanks for the info Wolf. Now I'm going to have to debate further. MAYBE if I get a great deal go with the 3.7. If not then I assume as posted in other sites the 2010 H3 with the 3.6 will be out in a year or so. Great more stuff ponder.

Boy being a newbie is tough - thinking and typing.

Omaha? Don't you have to drive several hundred miles to even see a hill?

You could lease one for a year and trade it in on one with the new engine. At least thats what I was thinking of doing. I want one real bad too. I want to take one on vacation to N. Carolina and drive it on the beach. Its gonna piss me off if I have to make the trip in the mini-van again.

Alrock don't think of Omaha and the rest of Nebraska as lacking hills. Think of this state as the ideal market for Yugos and Geo Metros. The pioneers were just way ahead of their time. Flat land = better gas mileage. Who needed Nosterdamus? The wagon train folks predicted the gas crunch way back when.
It does hurt after a trip to the mountains to come back here to___________________________________________(notice the flat-line) very little

. Some day I'll retire to the mountains.

Hey the sand hills here have some elevation change,maybe, but we do have lots of flooded corn fields to ford, if the farmer cant catch you, you're innocent.

Oh and on a side note Yeti, tell the people at Huber, or werever, that you really like the jeep and the FJ and stage an exit to go buy one of those, they will come down on price.
