Ultimate Offroad Trucks

Hummer is bringing its unmistakable style and unmatched capability to the truck market with the 2009 H3T. The H3T Alpha is similar to the popular H3 but with few changes.

The Hummer H3T Alpha fits in between midsize truck and full-size truck categories, creating its own identity in the market. It has exceptional off-road capability and a premium interior, which is both functional and comfortable. It’s the only midsize truck to come standard with full-time four-wheel drive, 32-inch tires and functional skid shields. It’s also the only midsize truck to offer front and rear locking differentials, as well as 33-inch tires. The V-8-powered H3T Alpha can tow up to 5,900 pounds. The Hummer H3T is offered in four trim levels, including five-cylinder models and the popular, V-8-powered H3T Alpha edition.

“With its unique size and HUMMER traits, The Hummer H3T is ideal for the customer who works hard and plays harder,” said Martin Walsh, HUMMER general manager. “It offers the combination of truck versatility and HUMMER off-road prowess that delivers customers to the trail in style.”

Hummer H3T design is purposeful- its consistent and iconic styling cues include a wide, aggressive stance; a low roofline and high beltline; and large, off-road tires. The wide, seven-slot grille and round headlamps mounted in square housings are signature HUMMER design elements.

“Form following function is at the core of HUMMER’s design philosophy, and The Hummer H3T’s capability reflects that mantra,” said Carl Zipfel, HUMMER director of design and former motocross professional. “It has a distinctive look that could be mistaken for nothing except a HUMMER - and it also has the functionality to get the driver to and from the trail in style.”

The five seat cabin layout is identical to the H3 SUV. Air conditioning, power locks, power windows, remote keyless entry, an AM/FM radio with CD, XM Satellite Radio is all standard. HUMMER’s Rear Vision system and navigation system are available. Also, the safety and security of OnStar is standard, with Turn-By-Turn Navigation and hands-free Bluetooth connectivity available.

The Hummer H3T Alpha comes with a wide array of accessories (more than 75) such as removable and lockable bed-mounted storage boxes; an adjustable bike chock that can be used to help secure mountain bikes or motorcycles; and a bed extender make full use of the standard bed-rail cargo management system. Hummer also offers additional accessories to improve off-road capabilities, provide passenger entertainment and enhance exterior styling.

In addition to factory-developed accessories, HUMMER has partnered with top automotive aftermarket companies to develop more than 50 Officially Licensed HUMMER Accessories- such as a Slant Back Bed Cover, hard tonneau covers and a winch are offered, along with cargo management solutions such as the BedSlide and bed divider, offering countless possibilities to personalize the Hummer H3T.

Hummer H3T Alpha comes with aluminum V8 5.3L engine rated at 300 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. of torque. The aluminum cylinder block helps reduce overall mass and maintains a more desirable front-to-rear weight balance. A Hydra-Matic 4L60 electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission is paired with the 5.3L engine.

The Hummer H3T’s frame and suspension system are based on a stretched version of the H3 SUV’s chassis and suspension. A ladder-type frame is the truck’s backbone and it has a modular, three-piece design that incorporates fully boxed components for outstanding strength and stiffness.

The Hummer H3T has extreme off-road capability-

• Ability to climb a 60-percent grade and traverse a 40-percent side slope
• Exceptional 10.2-inch ground clearance (with 33-inch tires)
• 38.7-degree approach angle and 30.1-degree departure angle (with 33-inch tires)
• Segment-first available front- and rear-locking differentials
• Standard HUMMER Hill Hold Assist for improved hill ascension

In the event of a crash, the H3T Alpha’s rigid body structure provides good passenger protection. The Hummer H3T offers the following standard safety features:

• Dual frontal air bags with GM’s passenger sensing system
• Head curtain side-impact air bags
• StabiliTrak electronic vehicle stability control system
• Four-wheel ABS with traction control
• Tire pressure monitoring system
• LATCH rear child seat anchors
• OnStar with one-year Safe & Sound service
