The H3 has lower gearing so you should test drive the H3 before deciding it’s underpower and buying a Toyota. Also the if you want an SUV with a LS2 in it the SS TrailBlazer has an LS2 and it’s more 4-Runner like.

The Hummer H3 isn't even CLOSE to the performance of my old S10 Blazer!
And don't EVEN get me started on my soon to be V8 powered 4Runner!
The Vortec 4300 V6 only produces 190HP BUT it produces 250 Ft/lbs of torque!
The H3's I-5 produces 25 LESS torque than my almost ten year old V6 engine; and that is in (as you so kindly mentioned) a vehicle that is almost 1000 lbs heavier!
That is why almost every review of the H3 has mentioned the LACK of onroad power!
