2007 POWER

RE: 2007 POWER
I have to tell you I really like the FJ, but it is just too much of a copy of a Hummer. They could have at least made the front end a little dissimilar. I'm thinking about getting one for my wife in the spring. I think any hummer is too much for her to handle, considering she is only 5'1

There's a review of the H3x in the current Autoweek. They liked the truck and they were also very positive about the power increase with the 3.7. Even though maximum torque is now at 4000 rpm, there is alao 8 more lb/ft available at the '06's 2,800 peak. Fuel economy is the same largely do to a new 125 A alternator that has less drag during normal low load operation. It looks like a true win-win!

As far as any Hummer being too much for your wife or someone her size to handle, I see women her size drivng 80,000 lb semi's all the time. In fact, when I drove flat bed, I worked with a woman her size that could maneuver our double trailer setup better then any guy we had working for us at the time, including me and I'm no slouch when it comes to doubles.

the key is that is says it has less drag during normal low load operation. What is low load operation. Nothing on probly. When you put a load on a smaller alternator it will cause more friction in trying to keep up then putting a load on a bigger alternator obviously. I'd say in a truck the bigger alternator is the better way to go. Should be bigger engine and bigger alternator. It wouldve been a small drop in fuel anyway. I seriously doubt the alternator is making up the difference.
