Hummer H3






It took awhile, but Hummer is getting a midsized truck, the H3T, which will launch with a sticker price of $31,495, including shipping. The H3T is based on the H3 sport/utility vehicle and will arrive in showrooms in September. It has room for five passengers and a five-foot long bed.General Motors says the pickup will cater to a niche that wants Hummer-functionality, but doesn’t need a vehicle as large as the H2 SUT. GM envisions it competing with the Toyota Tacoma and Dodge Dakota.Power comes from a 3.7-liter I-5 rated at 239 horsepower and 241 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated to a five-speed manual, and a four-speed automatic is optional.The H3T comes standard with electronic four-wheel drive, 32-inch tires and skid shields. It also offers front- and rear-locking differentials.
