Why should I also consider these? X

The H3T stands out in this category for its styling and the HUMMER brand’s cachet with a certain crowd, but plenty of people are likely to be scared away from that brand’s eco-unfriendly image; the H3T is considerably more expensive, too.

The two vehicles in this class with the freshest look are the H3T and the Ridgeline, which received a modest refresh for 2009.

The Colorado is on paper a competitor, but in the real world its powertrains are uncivilized and it feels in a class below the others.

The V-8 in the 2008 Dodge Dakota gives it a distinct advantage in power over the five-cylinder Chevy and GMC mid-size twins, as well as the six-cylinder Tacoma, Frontier, and Ridgeline.

However, the imports offer quality and dynamic performance advantages over the Dodge.
