2009 Hummer H3T Alpha, Part Three

Why you should buy this car:
You've always wanted a Hummer but have thus far been put off by their lack of practicality. You want a pickup bed, but not a pickup. You find tribal tattoos strangely appealing.

Why you shouldn't:
Your ultimate goal is turning it into a lowrider. You've got a set of 35" dubs sitting around, waiting for a project; just stick with the H2. You live East of the Mississippi. You wish there was a Humbrid version. You want a work truck that can haul a load of drywall. You spell off-road J-E-E-P.

2009 Hummer H3T Alpha, Part Two

Exterior Design: **
Let's face it, it's a Hummer H3, and that means boxy and kinda cute like a GI Joe toy. The grille on the hood has no function, nor do the air breathers by the windshield. But, with 10.2" of ground clearance and huge knobbly tires, it does carry a certain air of purpose about it.

Interior Design: ***
An extra star for not using chrome plastics. The seats are perfection. With all the legroom in the backseat, it's a nice vehicle for passengers as well. The instrument panel lighting is attractive and easy to read.

Latest by n/a: I was in a Defender 90 that took that approximate line :) If you let the passenger's side wheel climb the rock, it'll keep you more or less level. But if that right wheel was further down the wall, the more »

Commenter Of The Day: Junk In The Trunk Edition

Yowser! Sometimes our commentariat gets a tad b**tchy, and we mean that in the best possible way, because it usually cracks us up. Like, seriously. Just a general announcement: We approve of a little nastified hilarity from time to time, as long as it's all in good fun and preferably at the expense of absurd celebrities. And so, on to COTD.

2009 Hummer H3T Alpha, Part One

The H3T Alpha, despite sharing DNA with the S-10, is more than a spruced up mid-size truck. 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.
