One local woman grabbed my ass, but for the most part, the fun happened behind the wheel. More »

The five-foot bed is separate from the cab (unlike an Avalanche or H2) and can accommodate a load up to a 1/2 ton, so that means a pair of dirtbikes are no problem with the tailgate down. Most important, though, are the upgrades to the drivetrain, including e-locker differentials from Eaton, and a high- and low-range transfer case. More »

And the General has just the solution: the Hummer H3T. Nothing quite like scampering playfully through a snowy meadow to confirm your possession of hulking cojones. Note the inclusion of the badass butch-signifying bike in the bed, even though the bed is too short to accommodate all that badassness without dropping the tailgate. More »

We understand why they put the bike in there, it's to highlight the utility of the vehicle and to draw parallels between the ability and sexiness of the dirt bike and the truck it's placed in, but we can't help but feel it does the opposite. With its fuel economy, mud-plugging ability, cost and practicality, the bike just makes the truck look effeminate and silly. Enter this Hummer scooter concept from Oberdan Bezzi. With a 450cc engine, it's probably every bit as fast as the H3 and just as capable off-road. In fact, it's probably a more practical vehicle all round, but will that matter to potential H3T buyers? Not a bit. [Via Scooter Design] More »

Mark Williams, chief truck-lover over at Truck Trend, is manning up to "accidentally" publishing their latest issue ten days early and revealing the new Hummer H3T a week and a half early (though curiously forgetting to apologize to Suzuki over the new Suzuki Equator embargo blunder). Mark says "...it looks like we were the ones who screwed up the whole thing...and no doubt the subject of a few heated conversations at General Motors..." More »

Since bringing you the first Truck Trend H3T scans, we've gotten a lot more information thanks to PickupTrucks.com, which had the first H3T post up on the web. What do we know about the new H3T? It's the same Colorado/H3 architecture but built to accommodate both the crew cab and the five-foot-long bed. There will be four versions offered, including the base version with the Vortec 3.7-liter inline-five (245 hp/242 lb.-ft.) and the H3T Alpha, which comes with the 5.3L small-block V8 (300 hp/320 lb.-ft.). Customers are going to have a choice of either a heavy-duty handling and trailering suspension or an off-road version that comes with 33-inch tires. Bizarre notions of masculinity not standard on this model as Hummer predicts customers will themselves supply that. Full press release and photos below. More »

How could this happen? Motor Trend, as has been explained to us, doesn't purposefully break embargoes, and they get testy when you suggest that they do. As we've explained about media embargoes before, automakers like press, and when they want their cars in certain publications they send "embargoed" information to publishers early to accommodate the supposed lead time the print media needs to rewrite press releases and layout photos. Therefore, Truck Trend has had the information on the 2009 Hummer H3T for a little while. But they claim as long as they don't publish it online, they're not breaking an embargo until it goes to print. But then they also claim if the printing date is in line with the embargo date than all should be well. Fair enough — a couple of hours here, a day early there — no big whoop. That is unless they move the publish date up and send the issues out a week early, which is what Truck Trend apparently did with their most recent issue (see the photo above of a magazine vendor with the current issue of the magazine today, shot by Michael Levine of PickupTruck.com). Then it doesn't matter what the issue date is because anyone with access to a scanner or a digital camera can then take those photos and spread them all over the internet thus breaking the digital and print embargo simultaneously and screwing other publications and their readers who don't have the information yet. But of course, Motor Trend doesn't break embargoes. Surely, if they did purposefully break an embargo the entire world of automaker PR reps would stop sending information to Motor Trend. Clearly that's exactly what would happen. More »

And we've been told we should expect some seriously fun product, both in concept and in production from the General in two weeks at the Chicago Auto Show. We've already told you we now expect the GMC pickup concept truck to be there and now, according to the embargo-breaking pointer-outers at HummerGuy, it'll be comig to Chicago too. In fact, they've even got the shots to prove it — taken directly from the pages of an early-to-the-stands issue of TruckTrend. Yeah, isn't this a fun game we all play? Jeesh. When will these automakers ever learn not to play the silly embargo game? Anyway, we digress — the 2009 H3T is a Hummer H3 with a 4-feet wide by 4½-feet long bed in the back with accessories like a small lunchbox/toolbox and all sorts of lockable storage containers. Under the hood, expect to see the new 295+horsepower 5.3-liter V8 first shown in the H3 Alpha, as well a 242-horsepower 3.7-liter I5 powerplant. When last we saw the Hummer H3T, it was dressed up in all sorts of fancy diamond camo — now that it's fully naked, what do y'all think? Hit the jump to see the above shot bigger, longer and more uncut. We'll have more shots shortly we're assuming — for now, sate your desires with the camo-covered shots below. More »

Also taking one step forward was the General's PR arm, making the smart move of showing off the new quasi-pickup at the Baja 1000. But we digress — the pickup "bed," if you can call it that, will offer a cargo area of roughly 4-feet wide by 4½ to 5-feet long and the H3T will supposedly have a front locker and drivetrain options that mimic the H3. Expect the H3T to be powered by the new 295 HP V8 first shown in the H3 Alpha, as well a 242-horsepower 3.7-liter I5 powerplant. In addition, expect some truck-like accessories like optional cargo boxes including a small lunchbox/toolbox with the ability to easily lift-off and take to your worksite. Other boxes are likely to include cargo boxes that the whole length of the bed, as well as one which will run the width. Full spy report from Brenda Priddy after the jump.

The short-bed pickup will remind many of the 2004 Hummer H3T Concept, a stepside-style play that telegraphed Hummer's line-expansion plans, minus exactly two doors. Word is the production model will get the poky 3.7-liter inline five as well as a new, 295-hp, 5.3-liter V8, when it's introduced in late 2008 as a 2009 model. [via World Car Fans] More »

What makes it different this time is we've also got some more deets on what may very well be the long-rumored GMT745. That's the codename for what's also been known as the Hummer H3T — which we're told will hit the market as a 2009 model year vehicle. PickupTruck.com claims the short-bed, which they describe as "cute," will have
"a cargo area of roughly 4-feet wide by 4-feet long...A hard tonneau cover will be available as an option, as will several choices of lockable cargo boxes...engine options will include the new 295-horsepower V8, as first shown in the H3 Alpha, as well a 242-horsepower 3.7-liter I5 powerplant."
Well, we normally think of H3's in any configuration as "cute" — or maybe it's just the MILF's who drive them — we forget which sometimes. – Ray Wert More »
