The H3 Alpha is the only trail-capable out-of-the-box SUV available today with a V8. Yes, others are built with V8's, but they take quite a few modifications to do serious backcountry exploring. In addition to the 5.3 V8, with the optional Off-Road Package, the H3 Alpha comes with a 4.03:1 low range in the transfer case, electronic locking differentials front and rear, 33" tires and more. The H3's strong body on frame construction provides a reliable platform for years to come.
