I'm sure 24" spinners will fit it.

I'm embarrassed for Subaru. I thought they had better sense then to come out with a Pig U V but I guess with GM there now money is the biggest motivator. Then again, I consider anybody who drives a PU or SUV that doesn't need one to be a pig and am ebarrassed by their ignorance.

Do you have a need for it or only use it sparingly for needed purposes. (I.E. 5 kids and live in an area that you NEED 4wd for over 1/3 of the year or towing something 5k or more on a regular basis). If no then IMO no you're just as much a pig as the millions of Americans who ignorantly drive such vehicles wasting our air, killing our roads with the weight and causing the cost of gas to be inflated by around 35 cents a gallon due to supply and demand. Then again, maybe I'm the dumb one since I didn't go out and spend $50k for the same frame I could've spent $15k on with a GM Silverado. JMO.

Who told you that, the dealer? That's a good one and a H2 isn't a Suburban gone square. Unfortunately, yes, it is man. When you can strip the body off and use the frame and much of the rolling chasis on the a Silverado it is quite the same. Why do you think GM is doing their best to sell every SUV they can build? It isn't because they prefer selling them over other cars, they simply make 4x as much selling a $50k Escalade then a $30k minivan because of the parts sharing and shear numbes of PUs made in a year. No offense to you or anybody else out there but if I can make one PUV driver come to their senses the world will be a better place.
