The fast shutters over at KGP photography captured what looks like a Hummer HT SUT (In reality, a Hummer H2T — according to Winding Road) that's been stretched out on the rack. The fake army paint job doesn't fool them though, as they think that this is a new H2 making use of the stretched GMT-900 platform — the same used for the Suburban as opposed to the current H2, which is built on the same platform used by the Chevy Tahoe. This would give it real, truck-like powers as opposed to the current generation, which can barely hold more than two kegs. Full spy report below the jump: UPDATE: Winding Road's sources tell us this H2 SUT mule is actually a Hummer H2T, a companion to the Hummer H3T we expect to see revealed in coming months.
Judging by this prototype caught under test, it looks like the Hummer H2 SUT is on the verge of a growth spurt. This H2 SUT tester— parading around in what appears to be a faux army paint scheme (complete with star)—has clearly been lengthened behind the rear doors. It appears that a good 12-inches has been added—both fore and aft of the rear wheel—resulting in a significant increase in hauling capacity over the compromised bed of the current H2 SUT.
We would guess that this new, longer H2 is making use of the
stretched GMT 900 platform used on the Suburban instead of the H2's
normal Tahoe-based package. The strategy was probably deemed
necessary to properly differentiate the H2 SUT from the upcoming H3
SUT, which sports a similarly stretched bed when compared to its SUV
counterpart. If the H2 SUT has ever made any sense, it's relevance
would be severely challenged if the smaller H3 pickup actually
trumped the H2 in functionality. The General is now in the process
of rectifying this shortcoming. One now wonders if this lengthened
treatment will also be applied to the H2 SUV.
