Still I do not think anyone owning a H3 is in a bad "tough spot". It is an amazing vehicle !!!

I'm surprised you are considering a Wrangler since the tow capacity of it is 1000 lbs less then on the H3.

I was not aware that the Rubicon Limited has less of a towing capacity as I would think that having one more cylinder would give it more power. Isn't the 4 door Rubicon lighter and more powerful plus I was thinking the 2012 will have the Pentastar engine which is a power house compared to the H3. I was not considering the 2011 Tahoe or Jeep.

I really like that the Tahoe with HD towing has both an engine oil cooler and an additional external transmission cooler.

If I could find a Alpha with under 10k miles or if Hummer was still making them that would clearly be my first choice.

Plenty of them out there, a little search found these:

Tainter -- Thanks for the heads up. I do not want to buy out of state as that is too complicated but living near Phoenix I am going to contact the H3 Alpha that is for sale there. They want $39,000 for this 2010 which seems high and it has the same mileage as my H3 about 10k.

Anyone have some info on what a 2010 H3 Alpha with Lux. package, Adventurer package and 10k miles should realistically go for? I'll print out the comment and show it to the dealer.

H3 Alphas already have all of the lux options. I'm not sure what a good $ is, I was just showing you a few examples of what is out there id you wanted to stay with an H3. Good Luck on your search and selling your current H3

. Hard to find an 06 with that few miles.
