It's a great looking machine but with these gas prices and the rate of depreciation on these types of vehicles it seems like no one wants them. Just curious. How bad are you going to get screwed?
I love these posts....... you knew when you bought it that it got crappy mileage, hell its a 3/4 ton truck with a 6.0L engine. Gas is roughly a $1 more/gallon that it was a year or so ago. Now when you fill up its an extra $25-30 more....... figure a fill up a week and your around an extra $120/month right...... trade it in and take it up the a$$ for a bunch of money and it hardly seems worth it when its only costing you an extra $1440 for the year to drive it. Just hang on to it, we are definately keeping ours...... I have 2 trailers that I pull so buying some little gas sipping green tree hugger car will never be a reality for me.

Give me some details. I could use something new to get around in the winter. My fiance wants to get a H1, she loves them. But I want to look at all options.
I can't wait to pick up a H1/H2 near the end of the year. Everyone is getting out of them cheap, I hope to pick up a good deal on one. As long as gas doesn't hit $8/Gallon it won't kill me. My SRT8 300 only gets around 10mpg in the city and maybe 17 on the highway.
H1 and, to a lesser extent, H2 are can't miss future collectors items. Unique and memorable to people hwo were around when they were. And the H1 population will gradually shrink as they get used up by offroaders and people converting them to enviro-diesel green machines.
I love 'em. H1s don't get that bad of mileage, 15ish. H2 isn't that bad either, 12-13 is a typical average for most drivers. The '08 H2s are supposed to be quite a bit better as they recieved a bigger more efficient engine, 6-speed tranny, new t-case and other improvements.
