And GM need to sell more cars, trucks and SUV's Fast!!
Some people want a 4-dr truck others want a longer bed with and extended cab.
Toyota does it with the Tacoma so It can't be that difficult I think it is the same frame on the 4 door with short bed and the extended cab with a 6-foot bed (at least it was on the older models).

There was a thread on here recently about giving up a pickup to buy the H3: http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...ghlight=pickup I remember some people had gone back to the pickup. So there's a demand I'm sure for people who want to retain the benefits of a truck bed and still have a Hummer. They're probably not represented here right now because they went with a pickup over the H3.
I think a version with 2 doors, or extended cab, with an 8ft bed would be a great addition. That way you can still squeeze in 4 passengers and have 8ft of bed.

They should be mixing something like that into the H2 lineup. I think it would be helpful.
There definitely was an H2 pickup in the works, don't know what happened to it... The book on the H3 had a picture of all the GM Hummer designers and in it was the H2 pickup in the back
Canceled, but at GM it could be resurrected at any time.

That H2 truck looks awesome!!

tell them to build it! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. I'll even take it with the same interior, engine and trans.
That would be one sweet truck! I'd buy one for sure.
TAIL RATED!

I've been hiding from the Hummer people lately due to the front diff and the rear axle groan and this week jumping on them about the t/case fill procedure being all screwed up. They are beginning to think I'm a trouble maker. (I am ).
I'll suggest it next time I see them....
I think there is a possibility it will come back someday, but when????

2008 would be my suggestion.
I'll even take one of their test mules to Moab for them.

That's the H2 pickup I thought GM would be making.

Spy Shots: HUMMER H3 SUT

You can always count on Bob Lutz to provide a wealth of future product tidbits at his press conferences. Spy shots posted on LLN confirm Bob's comments about new Hummer models. This H3 captured is both longer than a standard H3 and is camouflaged in the rear. A close inspection reveals the tent work that is hiding the back of the truck sags aft of the B-pillar, indicating without a doubt there's a bed back there.
This is obviously the SUT version of the H3, but we're still looking for the H3T concept to make it to production as a dedicated truck, one we'd gladly choose over a Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon. Lutz did hint that this was a possibility, so we're keeping our fingers crossed.

1. If they'll buy it, build it.

4. This is cool, so long as they make a 2-door version, and make it EXTREMELY different from canyon/colorado

5. Crew cab actually. I wonder if the bed will actually be separate, it looks a bit long for the midgate system.
I would much rather just get a Canyon crew cab, avoiding looking like a poser and pissing off fringe environmentalists.

The big problem is that the H3/Canyon drivetrains suck compared to the Nissan Xterra and Frontier.

That 5 cylinders inline has problems when compared to a lot of other same size pickup's engines.

10. The military HUMVEE is built in Mishawaka, Indiana.
The Hummer H1, the civilian version of the HUMVEE, is no longer in production.
The Hummer H2, more civilianized, experenced slowed production some months ago and now rumors are hot and heavy among the UAW Local 5 members, that production numbers will not only be cut again, close to 100 workers will be laid off.
The Hummer H3, the one in this blog, is of course made elsewhere.
How do I know this news? I live in Mishawaka, Indiana.

11. another load of american junk from GM made with that pathetic 5 cyl buzz bomb of a motor.

12. Another evidence that styling alone will sell a car/truck. The H3 is just a ugly to me as its bigger brothers (and it's a good thing because it looks just as manly macho man - village people style)
The H3 has all the visual clues that makes it look much higher and much bigger than it actually is. This is why it sells so well (being so cheap helps too)
At least GM has this one right: sell on looks. Same thing DCX did with the 300. Looks badass, sells alot.

14. I wonder if this means that DCX will announce the release of the Jeep Gladiator next month? I hope so because I am a big Gladiator fan.

15. At least it's not a Sports Luxury Utility Vehicle, a.k.a. SLUT.

16. It is time for the 6L50 transmission to go with the bigger 3.7 I5 engine.

17. I see a big mistake there: the bed is long. It has a big ole' rear overhand that will destory the truck rear approach angle.
There goes Hummer's credibility on off-road. And there goes the prime foundation of Hummer.
