More pricing details on the HUMMER H3T
Click above for a high-res gallery of the HUMMER H3T.
To say that HUMMER's launch timing for the H3T sport-utility-truck couldn't be worse seems like an understatement. Trucks which had been flying out of showrooms just a few short years ago are now languishing on dealer lots. What's more, the entire HUMMER brand could get the axe any day now from (current) parent company General Motors. Still, the H3T is coming to a dealer near you in September, and there's nothing that the General can do but price it competitively and hope for the best. We've got some detailed pricing information pasted after the break, but the short version is that the five-cylinder base model, which comes standard with a five-speed stick, will go for $31,495 and be equipped with the expected four-wheel drive along with 32-inch tires and a clothe interior. Upscale Alpha models get upgraded with the 5.3L V8 hooked to a four-speed automatic, a chrome appearance package and a Monsoon stereo for $36,760.

Nice, solid performing, versitile little SUV--especially in the Alpha version...Still need to throw a diesel in it and market it as a niche vehicle with low #'s and low dealer overhead...but its a solid product--just bad timing...

I actually visited a Hummer dealer the other day and asked them about the 4.5L diesel H2 and they said they were already all sold out.

Yar,
I think its time you got rid of your username and your avatar and started over. You clearly have no more credibility left.
I could go through all of your false Autoblog comments and post them here but I would run out of room.

@Dan, agreed! I saw this truck at the Chicago Auto Show in Alpha trim. If memory serves, that was the debut. The Alpha was far better looking and intriguing than the trim level shown in these pics.
@various nay-sayers...regardless of current gas prices I think its great that those of us who can afford such an animal will by an American made product with character. Not every American is lined up at the soup kitchen. By the looks of the parking lot at the mall gas can't be that expensive. Come on guys, we're Americans, not European sheep.

The originally H1 was a really cool truck with a purpose, all the H2s & H3s are completely lame and for total wannabes. I even remember reading an article in motor trend where the Volvo XC90 and VW toureg out off-roaded the H2. Total crap car

"...market it as a niche vehicle with low #'s and low dealer overhead..."
That's exactly right. The only problem with Hummer is they wanted to sell 100,000 per year. Look at how many Suburans and Land Cruiser were sold in 1978. If those kinds of numbers are your target and you can make money at then go for it. Otherwise they're done.

I won't be buying one....ever, but I wish Hummer luck.

yet, again, GMs shortsightedness. Making tomorrow's based on today's needs, not tomorrow's.
or heck, maintaining global platforms that can be shuffled around based on changing local patterns.
now we have a truck that is 1) an overpriced Colorado and 2) too thirsty for the intended market. ship to Russia, with love.

Here's a good price point FREE. That's the only way I would ever get into anything Hummer. It still puzzles me that GM wastes their time and money on R&D for crap like this.

Wow. You're getting pretty red in the face about this one.
Johnny 5:05PM (7/15/2008)
Im pretty sure Why Not LS4/LS9 will show up and argue that all the R&D was paid for and it was very cheap to do.
I say no. Putting a pickup bed, redoing the underneath, and all the roof work, plus everything else did cost money.
Putting a different bumper on the Chevy Beat (if crash testing is true which I dont buy) and getting that to market pronto is a better idea and probably cheaper than designing this thing and all its baggage.

"Im pretty sure Why Not LS4/LS9 will show up and argue that all the R&D was paid for and it was very cheap to do."
Yeah, and don't forget: "GM was cash-flow positive the last 2 years." That one never get's old either. Maybe after Wagoner's announcement this morning we'll stop hearing that one.

so a colorado with Hummer body panels and new suspension tries to collect over $31k from customers
to helll with that, i'd rather not
and I don't wish humer good luck either

No you ignorant bag of meat. The whole chassis is upgraded, reinforcements, lengthening, suspension, wheels, EVERYTHING underneath has significant changes. Calling it a Colorado with a different body would be similar to calling a Mustang a Lincoln LS with a different body.
Why do I repeatedly find myself singing this same song, about Hummers. Why is it a different troll must repeatedly pull the same tired bovine from their ass? How many times do I have to say "learn something about ti before you bash it?"
Oh the wasted effort

Hey Jay, I have a better question. Why do you care? There's more to life than popping your cork over someone else's comments. Get a life man(!)

thanks for the sound advice Dr. Phil. My bad I guess I just irritated after seeing the same ignorant BS spouted all over the internet! Popping my cork huh? Yeah I guess taking 3 minutes to point out BS means I have no life doesn't it? Hmm but, you doing the same to wonder why I was "popping my cork" means you've got no life just like I do! Funny how that works.

Exactly right- an upgraded Colorado with a better T-case and suspension (and a host of other things) should command a $5k premium. If you started with a Colorado, it would cost you a lot more to get to the same place.
