Nope.

From Four Wheeler:

Basically the H2 consists of the front frame section and independent front suspension off of the 2500-series truck and the rear frame section and five-link coil suspension from the 1500-series Suburban/Tahoe (w/ unique axle housing). Powering the H2 is the familiar 6.0L V-8 (not available on the Tahoe), which is backed up by another familiar piece, the 4L65-E four-speed automatic transmission.
Basically, it's not a Tahoe with a different body (though it does have a lot of standard GM components).

Your underlying point is accurate, however - and I do think the H3 versus '05 Xterra has more merit than a comparison between the Xterra and H2, as they will probably be cross-shopped at least some.
