I'm sure the V6 is good enough for my needs. Though from reading here and if I had he cash, I'd get a v8 SE, 5" calmini lift, armada 3.36 diffs, etc. Basically, if the need arises where I need someting to tow an rv trailer a few times a year I'll choose between Pathfinder R51, Armada, Jeep Comm...

I've had my I-5 PCM tweaked by PCMofNC.com. Has major power surge at 4K. Will probably add a header to replace cracked manifold.

I'm not sure when/if I will sell H3. Depends on if FIL gives us the travel trailer. I think the SE OR has HDC on 2008+. I've seen some 2006/2007 Pathy's for sale that say Off Road but all I can see from the pics is the hard plastic cargo area and 16" wheels. There is a 2008 OR with side badges ...

For the forest roads and such around here the Pathy ought to be fine. I don't do rock crawling much anymo...

I currently have a 2007 Hummer H3 with Adventure package. Pretty darn good off-road, not the greatest on-road. rear locker, 4.56 gears, 33's, 4:1 low range. Looking at a pathfinder R51 for the 6000-7000lb tow rating. My H3 only has 4500lb with the 3.7 I-5. I would like to find the Off-road packge Pa...
