Default 06 h3 maybe in my future? is the 06 that bad?

Been lurking a long time and haven't been able to find the right H3 for the price I can pay but that may be changing.
I have stumbled on a 06 h3 with a manual 5 speed. It is listed as a "rare" manual tranny.

1. Are manual transmission really that rare?
2. I will want to do some towing with this truck, not very often but every year I go to sturgis and would like to tow 2 motorcycles, its a 800 mile trip and the absolute top weight I would be towing is 3500 lbs. Is this hummer up for that trip?
3. Do I need to worry about a tranny cooler?
4. Do manual trannys need a cooler less than a manual transmission?
5. I have heard bad things about the 06 h3. Is it really that bad? I know the 3.7 would be better but its not what I found for the price I can pay. Is it really that bad that I should wait for the 07 price to go down or should I go for it.
6.What issues are common with the 06 that I need to watch for.

Any feedback is appriciated.
Jeremy

and the last 6 numbers of the vin are 169514. Guess I better pull up and see if the cylinder problem was fixed.

Head issue is the big one on the 06. If you are pulling 3500# up mountain passes you will work the 3.5 pretty hard.
