once again i see another person that has no idea what they're talking about call the H2 a Tahoe, and the H3 a Colorado. the H2's chassis is based on 3/4 ton truck parts, with only the rear portion even remotely related to the Tahoe. the H3 chassis, while heavily based on the Colorado, is fully boxed where the Colorado is not, and the suspension mounting points and crossmembers are all welded on, where some Colorado pieces are bolted. there are, of course, a lot of other differences, but from the very bottom they are different. i hate people calling these vehicles Tahoes and Colorados because they're just not. you can not buy a Tahoe with a chassis anywhere near as off-road ready as the H2's, and the same goes for a Colorado versus the H3.
