HUMMER H3T starting at $31,495, sales begin September
Click above for a high-res gallery of the HUMMER H3T.
HUMMER is on the skids and pickups aren't flying off dealer lots, but if you're smitten with the H3 and need to haul more than its covered cargo bay can handle, the H3T is yours for the taking. Pricing starts at $31,495, including a $745 destination charge -- $850 less than a comparable H3.
For that kind of cash, you get a five-foot-long bed covered with an integrated liner and built-in storage system, full-time electronically controlled four-wheel-drive, 32-inch tires, functional skid plates and the five-year/100,000-mile warranty. The base model will pack the 3.7-liter five-cylinder, but a 5.3-liter V8 will be available, along with Bluetooth integration and an upgraded OnStar system. GM hasn't released details on what that kind of kit will set you back, but you can hit up your local dealer to find out when the H3T goes on sale in September.

PRESS RELEASE
HUMMER Announces Pricing for All-New H3T
DETROIT – HUMMER announced pricing today for its highly functional and capable H3T midsize pickup truck arriving in dealerships this fall in the U.S. and Canada. Pricing will start at $31,495, including a $745 destination charge.
The all-new H3T is based on the architecture of the popular H3, and features a five-passenger crew cab and a separate five-foot-long (1.5 meters) bed. The H3T is infused with the attributes expected of a HUMMER, including exceptional off-road capability and a premium interior that is as functional as it is comfortable.
The H3T features an extensive list of standard equipment, including full-time electronic four-wheel drive, a standard integrated bedliner with built-in storage, a cargo management system plus HUMMER's premium five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty plan.
"The H3T carves out a new segment in the midsize truck market, providing an outstanding combination of functionality and capability," said Martin Walsh, HUMMER general manager. "This will be the ideal truck for the buyer who need a truck's functionality for his or her lifestyle pursuits, but is looking for an alternative to the full-size truck."
The H3T stands apart from other trucks with the one of the industry's broadest array of accessories and signature HUMMER off-road capability. It is the only midsize truck to come standard with full-time four-wheel drive, 32-inch tires and functional skid shields. It also is the only midsize truck to offer front and rear locking differentials, as well as 33-inch tires.
The 2009 HUMMER H3T is scheduled to arrive in dealerships in September 2008.

Wow, you're a horrible person, "not a road pig".
What a sorry excuse for a human being.
By the way, I'm sure the authorities will love your incitement to vandalism that I'm forwarding them.

@ Yar--
Thank you for posting something informative on a HUMMER article--that seems to rarely happen anymore. :)

JGP, Are you for real? Which "authorities" are you forwarding an anonymous remark made on an internet forum to? The Bureau of Irrelevant Investigations"? What will they do? Track down "Pig" and scold him? Take a deep breath, then rejoin reality.

@JGP....ooh! And what will they do? Stuff a hotdog up my buns, spank me and call me a baaad piggy?
You must be a Hummer owner. Maybe I should report you to the The Bureau of Irrelevant Investigations for being a hazard small cars and children and being a terrorist threat by destroying our economy jacking up gas prices to support you gas hog. Hey let the authorities visit me. Can't wait to get the website up when they do. Imagine how much I Would make for a great way to spread visibility about my idea!

If they did come though...imagine how much I could dish GenerallyMalevolent for siking the SS on me! The controversy could be profitable (?) if chronicled on an ad soked site...and would make for a great way to spread visibility about my idea! Ahh! You got me jinning things up again!

NARP: I'm sorry you are so bitter now that all those Starbucks are closing up and you have nothing to drink while waiting for your remedial algebra class to start.
Maybe mom will mail you a few extra dollars to get the more expensive latte's next time?

Hey, I'd consider buying one if I had $32 G to drop on a truck. It's pretty badass in my opinion. Let's see you go fishing in a Prius!
I'd prefer a GMC Canyon, though. I think I'll pick one up when I've got the money. I was hoping they'd put a mild hybrid but I've heard that they don't live up to EPA expectations so I've decided that if they put a six-speed automatic in the four-cylinder crew cab I'm set. Hell, you can even buy one of those with six seats.

Despite gas prices, I hope this sells well. I won't be buying one, but If I was i the market, I'd look at this.

@FSM: this is a 1/4-ton truck moron. The "3" (or the "1" or "2" for that matter) has NOTHING to do with the tonnage or capacity of the Hummer in question.
And not all fishing and/or camping spots are accessible via pavement.

"And not all fishing and/or camping spots are accessible via pavement."
I hope that wasn't the rational GM used to green-light this POS.

I've gone fishing (well, gone *to* fishing) in a Prius. And our kayak fits nicely on the aftermarket roof rack.
tekdemon 9:42AM (7/14/2008)
I've gone fishing in a Sentra so I don't entirely see why a Prius can't drive you to go fishing.
Now if you mean you were towing some sort of fishing boat then maybe you'd have an edge on the Prius but I'd say that the vast majority of people don't tow boats when they go fishing.

This H3T doesn't look all that bad. But I still say that GM needs to get rid of the standard H3 and the H2 and add the H4/HX. That should really help the brand.

why not the LS2LS7? 5:09PM (7/11/2008)
They'll never make back whatever engineering dollars they put into this. It's not DOA, but they won't sell enough copies to break even I can't imagine.
