Codenamed GMT745, the long-anticipated Hummer H3T was spotted over
the weekend, sporting a crew-cab configuration.
Although the original concept was a
short-bed pickup with just two doors, economic decisions made the four-door H3 variant
much more affordable to produce. The short bed will offer a cargo area of roughly four
feet wide by four feet
long. A hard tonneau cover will be available as an option, as will several
choices of lockable cargo boxes.
The H3T’s
optional cargo boxes are expected to include a small lunchbox/toolbox with the
ability to easily lift it off and take to a worksite. Other boxes are likely to
include cargo boxes that run the whole length of the bed, as well as one which
will run the width.
Engine options will include the new 295-horsepower
V-8 as first shown in the H3 Alpha, as well a 242-hp, 3.7-liter in-line
five.
The Shreveport-built H3T will start production in
August of 2008, and arrive in the third or fourth quarter of 2008, as a 2009
model. HUMMER plans to build about 35,000 units annually.
