Although I did own an H1 open top back in the day and pulled 2 jet skiis with it, I do not recommend an H1, theyre terrible for highway use, and seating is terrible (only seats 4) . Also they stopped making the H1 and sticker prices were well over 100k.

The 08 H2 / Cadillac Escalade (same engine / drivetrain / 400 horsepower / 6 speed tranny) is what I recommend, which has seating for 8, leather everywhere heated seats in front and rear and lots of stuff for around low 50K's new with 100,000 mile warranty. The cayennes are nice but dont have a 3rd row seat I believe, they have less horsepower, less torque, smaller engine size, less seating, for more money. Also the escalade hybrid is due out anytime now.
