Nice article in this month's issue of Popular Mechanics:

Midsize Brawler
Hummer is going big with it's smallest truck, the H3, by adding a pickup version. The H3T pickup truck, which was shown at the Chicago Auto Show, has a 5-ft. pickup bed behind a four-door cab. Unlike the H2SUT, this one doesn't have a pass through midgate at the rear of the cab, but rather a seperate bed like a true pickup. And it's ready to haula dirt bike or ATV thanks to it's removeable tailgate and bedrail accessory system. The H3T will use the 3.7 liter 242-hp inline Five or the 5.3 liter 300-hp V8 in Alpha models. The latter is rated to tow 5900 pounds. All models come with that famous Hummer drivetrain geared for off-road capability. Choose the off-road package and you get 33-in. tires, a 4.03:1 Low range and for the first time in a Hummer, locking differentials in each axle. We can't wait to get this one on the trail. -Jim McCraw

Thanks Trey!!

I checked the site first and that was an older article, that's why I just typed up this month's article for the site. They'll probably update their site in another week or so. Nice picture of the H3T in the magazine, standard 3/4 profile shot with the desert in the background.
