I've never been a big fan of the new Hummer styling....but this reminds me a bit of the old Bronco's. Not bad, but a bit overdone IMO....Enjoy!

I think the styling is okay, but that's subjective as always. In the case of a Hummer, I think what's underneath is what really counts. So is this model a REAL Hummer or another glorified Tahoe/Suburban?

Thanks for the pics!

It's all REAL Colorado under the skin. At least the Hummer will get the Turbo I5.

Not bad looking... beefy like it should be...

But, isn't that the "H2T" or something, not the H3?

The little doors on the front of the bed area are kind of a cool idea too...

For those that remember the pick of Ed Welburn....That must be the door frame he was standing behind.

Looks good, it is the H3 truck. I'm glad to see it has a very "Hummer" look to it. I was afraid they were going to make it softer and give it a sloped windshield. Glad to see it looks very tough. Good work GM

If it is cheap enough, I might make that my winter car in a few years

the h1 is the only thing worthy enough to be a hummer.

wonder if they're going to merge GMC and Hummer if they keep going this route.

Does anyone know a bed size? or payload? or towing capacity? I being a contractor would love to own something like this for something different. It needs to be able to WORK tho...

What's the market for this thing? It looks too big and bulky to be a Jeep YJ competitor (especially with that long wheelbase), but as a regular-cab small pickup it's headed into a very small market niche. I guess there must be other versions of this truck.

Actually, I think the H3 is kind of neat....but it's all smoke and mirrors as is the H2.

This quote from GM:

"The HUMMER H3T infuses all of HUMMER's military-derived DNA into a midsize truck. "

is like saying........

" The Monte Carlo infuses all of NASCAR's race car-derived DNA into a midsize car"

Wow! I love that! Looks better than the H2. Just add a big sound system and I could drive that around all summer.
