Though the production version of the HUMMER H3T four-door pickup is not supposed to be seen before it debuts in a couple weeks at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show, images of the baby HUMMER truck have appeared early in the latest issue of Truck Trend magazine that's apparently on some newsstands and in some mailboxes already. That's because scans of the pics have hit the interweb, giving us an early and unofficial look at the truck. Captions reveal that the HUMMER H3T will be available with a large number of dealer-installed accessories, including hardware for tying down your ten-speed or securing your (small) motorcycle and storage toolboxes, while GM's familiar bedrail system will be standard. There are reportedly storage bins built into the walls of the bed's plastic liner, and while they're no Ram Box, should be big enough to hold small items like tools and gloves.
We'll have to wait until we arrive in Chicago to tell you more, but we weren't even supposed to know this much, so it's all gravy, baby.

Looks a lot better than the H2 and its more efficient as well.
Russell @ Jan 25th 2008 3:38PM
Forget about this, give me Hummer HX
RMc @ Jan 25th 2008 5:16PM
MORE efficient, yes. But only when you compare it to a H2 SUT. That's is like saying Charles Manson was a better person than Jeffery Dahmer.
This still will get a combined 15 mpg on the 3.7L (242 hp) or 14 mpg on the 5.7L (300 hp) if it's the same as the SUV H3.
Still, a 4.0L Toyota Tacoma (236 hp) gets 18 mpg combined and a 4.0L Nissan (261 hp) gets 17 mpg but that my have to do with the H3 5.7 weighing 800 lbs more than a Tacoma.
Of course, if Chevy drops in their phantom 4.8L diesel, that would change the game entirely.

Great! Another Fugly gas guzzler, just what the world needs.
M @ Jan 25th 2008 3:09PM
Shut up.
jaykay @ Jan 25th 2008 3:17PM
that was well thought out
M @ Jan 25th 2008 3:30PM
Thanks!
TwinTurbo3000GT @ Jan 25th 2008 4:18PM
ok so all of the sudden you know what "the world needs" right? I didnt realize "the world" had elected you it's caretaker. If you don't like the vehicle then don't buy one, no one is going to force you.
In case you havn't noticed no one cares what you think. You're comment is not going to stop anyone from buying the vehicle they want.
jaykay @ Jan 25th 2008 4:22PM
Just like your opinion won't change my mind about this particular issue. Don't get yourself into a knot over this. I'm sorry you designed a Fugly car/truck/thing. I'll make sure I check with you before I have an opinion next time.
The overall lack of functionality of this car/truck/thing is amazing! It will be picked up by some soccer mom who will use it's massive towing ability to drag 12 year olds from game to game.
M @ Jan 25th 2008 4:49PM
Well, jaykay, you went way out of your way to enter this thread to make a rude comment. I don't do that kind of stuff. There are better ways for you to make you feel better about yourself. I don't go up to people who I think are ugly and let them know about it.
By the way I myself have no use for any Hummer vehicle, probably will never own one. I'm just defending those who own or want to own these Hummer vehicles.
M @ Jan 25th 2008 3:08PM
Cool. I like the real pickup bed. I'd like to see Hummer's next truck be an H2 with an 8 ft bed.
.......
Oooh, but this vehicle is perfect bait for the whiners.
3...2...1... Write your nasty crybaby comments!
Serge K. @ Jan 25th 2008 3:16PM
You so clever...
So the person that feels the need to buy this vehicle needs not only to be "Johnson-challenged", but have a ballsack smaller than that of my cat.
M @ Jan 25th 2008 3:34PM
I've said it in another thread. I don't stare down other men's pants to check their size, so how would I even know? Is that what you do? If I hear no compaints from women, I guess wang size is not an issue for me.
It must be for you if you are speaking from such a high horse.
Russell @ Jan 25th 2008 3:46PM
@Serge K.
I see a lot of women driving H3s, and guess what they have no ballsack.
And why is when there s talk about Hummers the conversation always ends up about male gens.
M @ Jan 25th 2008 3:53PM
Yeah I wonder what the H2's magical powers do to women. I'm guessing maybe it transfer the excess length from the men H2 drivers over to the women H2 drivers??
Larry @ Jan 25th 2008 3:18PM
Meh!
TriShield @ Jan 25th 2008 3:21PM
I'm surprised it has a usable bed, a definite plus. It also looks much better than I thought it would with four doors. I still think they should make a two-door version like the H3T concept for the ultimate win.
cjanecek @ Jan 25th 2008 3:27PM
Hrmm... I've seen this truck before! Ah yes:

M @ Jan 25th 2008 3:36PM
this truck will make people think I have a big pee-pee.
M @ Jan 25th 2008 3:40PM
Oh, man, then it automatically must mean that yours is enormous! Thats cool and all, hopes it gets you ladies and all, but I just DON'T want to see it!!!
