GMT 745 is/was the code for the H3, can't/won't say if it carried over to the H3t. I will say they are some what less than acurate on their dimensions.

2009 HUMMER H3T Spied!


Codenamed GMT745, the long-anticipated Hummer H3T was spotted over the weekend, sporting a crew-cab configuration. Although the original concept was a short-bed pickup with just two doors ? economic decisions made the four-door H3 variant much more affordable to produce.
The short-bed, which can almost be described as ?cute? ? will offer 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.

The H3T?s optional cargo boxes are expected to include 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.
Engine options will include the new 295-horsepowerV8 as first shown in the H3 Alpha, as well a 242-horsepower 3.7-liter I5 powerplant.
The Shreveport-built H3T will start production in August of 2008, and arrive in the third or forth quarter of 2008, as a 2009 model. Hummer plans to build about 35,000 units annually.

You know in that last picture, it almost looks like the driver's side rear is a dually. Can you imagine a dually H3T w/the 6.2L V8? OMG, we gotta get hummer to do that!!

[Steve - SanJose]

A camper special or something:D

[usetosellhummer]

almost looks like a dually on that last shot

[HummBebe]

Yeah, but in that last pic, look where the spare is :(

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

I know one option will be a Quad 50 cal air cooled hydro remote...

[usetosellhummer]

That is where it will go, up high

[3Hummer]

how could the trunk possible be 4 feet wide?

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

how could the trunk possible be 4 feet wide?

Maybe i.d. of bed... woops, i mean width

[RuggedH2]

Gonna hurt the dpt angle, bad.

[evldave]

Yeah, but in that last pic, look where the spare is :(

You can just have h2o build you a ladder rack for the bed extending over the cab, then put the spare up on the ladder rack. You'd have plenty of room in the leftover spare space to put in a compressor and 2.5 gal air tank + maybe even an optima yellow-top to run all your accessories!!

Honestly, if this is what it looks like, I think it will look funny. Too much like a 4 dr explorer sport-trak for my tastes :(

[RuggedH2]

Right now the Hummers all have among the best departure angles in the industry. I realize that you have to compromise for the truck, but the H2 SUT didn't look like it had lost any dpt angle.

Every H3 in Moab had a bent rear license plate from climbing all the steeps. No damage that I know of from dragging, but at some point most did.

[bparker]

All i want to know is how much B E E R can it haul! Now thats the important question..

[HummBebe]

Where did your "13" go???

[deserth3]

The Moab will do a number on that spare tire.

[f5fstop]

Hey, where you been????

Well, at least there are two on this site who know what the dang thing will look like.:dancingbanana:

[Steve - SanJose]

check out that prototype exhaust outlet...

[Desert Dan]

Maybe the rear leaf springs and front T-bars can be put on the H3's

[RuggedH2]

Where did your "13" go???

You're probably the only one that noticed Bebe. 03 works better. Most people don't know what it means.

[CLAYDOG]

Been busy as hell on the other truck you saw in the dome. Those dam Europian ped pro laws are giving us fits, you'd think that after gittin' wacked by a 4000# truck,how big a dent your mellon leaves in the hood would be the least of your worrys. Also looks like an unchanged version of your favorite truck from the dome show may be public some time soon.;)

[HummBebe]

Means you're a Pisces to me ;)

[3Hummer]

how is the spare tire going to hurt the departure angle?

[HoosierH3]

Looks to me that the spare is tucked up pretty good. As high as the leaf springs and rear bumper. Can't see it effecting departure. The tail pipe though??? That's another story. ;)

[f5fstop]

how is the spare tire going to hurt the departure angle?

It relatively lowers the rear end where it hits the ground when departing.
Fact: Colorado/Canyon with the off-road package has 1 degree less departure angle than the standard 4x4. Reason, the off-road package has a larger spare, and that extra width detracts from the departure angle.

[BlueHUMMERH2]

Why is the grille covered? This appears to have 2008 lower bumper.

[BlueHUMMERH2]

Why? Are we really supposed to believe this is the SUV version?

[SHYANNE]

Not everyone who may buy this will want to go to moab and go wheeling.Maybe they wil drive it and use it like a ford sport track that was out.I dont know but it doesnt look like it is going to cater to those who want to go wheeling at moab.Maybe some will just like the look and use it as a suv and a truck to haul some small light weight stuff for thier needs.Does everyone think it has to be built for moab ? I know it is fun there at moab but not everyone who drives a H 3 cares about that do they ?

My original point about departure angle wasn't unique to Moab. Hummers are built with the "angles" in mind. So are the other vehicles that the other manufacturers actually intend to be capable off road. So far every Hummer has class leading "angles". The angles are important off road, climbing is climbing. That's why they consider those angles in the first place. You can't consider all 4X4's "off roaders". If the vehicle overhangs in the front and the rear, and has **** clearance at breakover, then all 4 wheels aint going up that.

I can't tell whats underneath that camouflage anymore than anyone else. With the exception of F5 and Claydog, we are all just speculating.

It does look to me (Bebe's post #4, first picture) like the rear bumper has been moved further back, that might just be subterfuge. If it isn't, or if I'm seeing it wrong, it won't hurt the dpt angle as much as it looks like it will, to me.

GM's engineers know what Hummer is, it's not them I worry about. I think that GM should remain loyal to the original idea.

I like the new JK, but I don't like Jeep Liberty's. They sell a lot of them though.

[BlueHUMMERH2]

This view really makes it looks like the tire will bite into the departure angle. Personally, I don't know where else the spare could be placed. If you put it on the bumper, then you'd have to have a swing bar to get it out of the way (which is a PITA). Or perhaps the whole tailgate would open much like the SUV gate (which could be evidenced in the photo above) but I think that would be unlikely because it wouldn't allow for a bed extender because you'd have the tailgate flopping around. I don't assume from these photos though that the tire will stay there. It could go elsewhere I would imagine, and if it's in a novel spot, they wouldn't want to give that away.

I think it would be cool if the tire went on the tailgate, and the tailgate would pivot down and out, placing the tire into the space in the bumper, which would allow for a tailgate that could be left open and would be extended for support of plywood, drywall, etc.

The spare is not the first point of contact when checking departure angles.

My original point about departure angle wasn't unique to Moab. Hummers are built with the "angles" in mind. So are the other vehicles that the other manufacturers actually intend to be capable off road. So far every Hummer has class leading "angles". And it could still have class leading angles on the truck, even if the rear departure angle is reduced from the SUV. Class leading means comparing it to the class. A truck is not in the same class as an SUV. Most other P/U's, other than the Dodge powerwagon, do not have decent departure angles. The angles are important off road, climbing is climbing. That's why they consider those angles in the first place. You can't consider all 4X4's "off roaders". If the vehicle overhangs in the front and the rear, and has **** clearance at breakover, then all 4 wheels aint going up that.

[RuggedH2]

I understand the classification. Not trying to sound pessimistic either. I do appreciate what you are both trying to say.

My concern here is not even with the new truck in particular. I acknowledged that compromises would have to be made for a "truck" (pickup).

I do like that Hummer has remained loyal to it's original concept. The vehicles moved in the only direction they could, smaller, lighter and less expensive. They also remained capable by design. The H2 SUT is as capable as the H2 SUV.

When I look at Jeep, I appreciate the vehicle that started the heritage, I appreciate how it has evolved. They even had some other vehicles (ie. Cherokee, Wagoneer, etc. etc.) that were also very capable. However, look what they mostly offer now.

Just because people will buy it, doesn't mean they should build it. I know GM is a business, and that business is to sell vehicles that people will pay for. I wanted a Hummer since I drove my first Humvee, the H3 was the first Hummer model I could afford to buy new. I bought an early production and love it.

I just don't want to see Hummer become what Jeep is. Offering everything they think they can sell, with a Jeep badge on it. It cheapens the brand and devalues the credibility of what it means to be a Jeep.

[Alan06SUT]

That truck will still perform very admirably even with a slightly longer rear over hang. A 4" lift would get you the angle right back and get you anywhere. Look at some of the Tacomas out there with similar overhangs. Out of the box, it will not be as good as a SUV h3, but it woluld make a great midsize truck that could really open up new markets for hummer and therefore attract more aftermarket attention.

[Gottmud]

That is ugly & boring. Why in gods name would they do that.

[DRTYFN]

Is there a reason for eleventy threads on this subject?
I think they should all be merged.:clapping:

[Spuds]

I wish they would take a cue from the Ridgeline:

Two way tailgate.
Large lockable trunk under the bed.

[DRTYFN]

btt for the GM guys. :clapping:

[Sewie]

More pics too. :D

[Agriv8r]

love the paint....

[wpage]

I agree with Spuds idea. Why not put the spare tire in/under the bed. Similar to the Ridgeline concept! Especially for off roading the mud wont be eating the spare...:iagree:And have some storage while improving break over angle.
