Default Hummer H3 Pickup Prototype Spied


The spies at KGP Photography have snapped photos of what appears to be a test mule for a production Hummer H3 pickup truck. General Motors unveiled a pickup concept called the H3T in December of 2003, but it never saw production. What's more, this test mule appears considerably longer than the two-door H3T.

While the rear camouflage is squared-off to look like a typical SUV, a close look at the way the fabric droops and pinches inward behind the C-pillar gives the game away. There is nothing but air back there. It appears the vehicle may be fitted with the bed from a Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab.

At the Paris Motor Show, GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz said traditional pickup truck — unlike the short-bed H2 SUT — remains an "option." Lutz made it clear Hummer would get "two or three more products" in the coming years "to give it sufficient market coverage."

Back in highschool (lol, that was a year ago) a bunch of friends and I were off roading fiends. I even took my X5 off roading (although I wasn't always successful).

We had some windshield decals made for all our cars that say "HUMMER RECOVERY SQUAD" We had a lot of fun and it was icing on the cake that there were some kids at school that had H2's or H3's.


Now that I've got an LX too, I wish I could go back in time. I'd finally be able to keep up with every one else with the extra ground clearence.

This is when GM goes overboard, when they come out with silly things like this.

X5s are not meant for offroading, I think.

Go back with your LX and post some more pictures!

I think H3 has the same whimpy 5 cylinder motor that gets only 14mpg city and I cant belive they made an ad saying it a great gas saver. And GM complains they are not going good.
