Heck, it was easier (for me..lol) to back the boat down the boat ramp with the motorhome versus the H2..again, the short wheel base is to blame (I think?)

See..interesting about the Armada. One of the reasons I feel so guilty about the H2 is that everyone always talks about the horrible gas mileage, the environmental impact, etc. Yet you don't seem to hear them saying that about the Suburbans, Armada's, etc that cost the same (if not more) than H2's, get the same gas mileage, etc. Yet the Hummers are the scapegoat for all things environmentally unfriendly. Ugh..LOL (off soapbox now)

Thanks for your input--It's great to get it from another H2 owner, gives me more perspective.
I could not agree more about the judgement against the H2 when other vehicles get just as bad, if not worse, gas mileage. My work truck is a Durango with the Magnum V8 engine and the gas mileage is the same as the H2.

Nobody wants to hear that though, they just want to criticize.

There is a great comparison between the H2 and the Prius on the internet that says in terms of entire life cycle, the Prius is actually harder on the environment than the H2 due to the batteries and such. Interesting read.

Feel free to holler if you have any questions/concerns about the Pathfinder and good luck with your decision.
