My driving impressions are the Alpha 5.3L gets up to speed faster vs the 3.7L, but the HP seems to be the main factor. The Adventure has 4.56 gears vs the Alpha's 4.10's so that helps a little, but nothing will change 300HP vs 242HP. I know it's not a huge increase in HP, but with our stock rigs weighing in at 4,700LB every bit of HP helps.



Yea I think u wayyyyyyyyy offfffff, I had to weight my T to register in CA ( roof rack,sliders,35" tires,3.7l,) it weigheted at 6600lbs!!! I don't remember if I had ARB front bumper with winch.

curb weight for the h3 is between 4700-4900lbs last time i checked, so i could see the T coming in at 6600lbs with all the stuff you have on it

Serge your rigs run heavy stock is 4700-4900 Kyle is right. I'm getting mine weighed soon. I think I'll come in at 5400

A "T" also weighs more then an H3

 

[Kyle]

where are you having it weighed? i want the suburban weighed :giggle: with a full tank of gas

No way my H3 Alpha is 6600LB... Stock it should be 4700-4900. ARB bumper is 200LB max, winch is 135-145LB with cable, rack is probably 100LB so that's into the 5500ish area give or take with a THOR Rear Bumper.

I don't have a rear muffler so take that stock weight off 25-35LB, and I have an AEM filter sticker so I instantly get 10% more HP!!!! Haha

Now on the trip to FL I was probably around 6600LB with my inlaws in the back with all their 20 suitcases, but my H3 Alpha handled it very well I thought.

Any public scales, just do internet search. If I am not mistaken Texas title for T was stating curb weight at ~5k.

I don't think Public Scales wrong, we pay reg tax based on curb weight. And if u bring vehicle from different state u have to weight it.
I had some wheels in the bed, when I pulled them out I droped 600lbs.

Correction, just checked title unladen weigh is 5700lbs.

yea the curb weight is close to 5000 aparently!

 

[Best4x4]

Yeah an H3T would weigh more due to the bed and longer frame vs an H3.

LOL, Mine after gettin 5 Duratracs, 35s, a few months ago. Thor frontbumper w/ Zion 8/s, rockrails, UCP, 1/4 tank of gas and no offroad gear, that I take when we are out. I came in at 5660 lbs. I still haven't put on my Hunner skids, all 4 and diff guard. So there more weight there.
After changin my 285s to 315s, I felt the difference. Much slower to get to speed but, no problems like was stated in the beginin. Also, I haven't done any engine work yet or retuned...
