No matter the size or configuration, General Motors knows a vehicle adorned with the Hummer name carries certain expectations. Witness the dynamic H3T, a midsize truck that infuses all of Hummer's mil-spec spirit into vehicle that can strike at a broader, more attainable market than the original H1 and bulky H2.
Long anticipated, Hummer will be introducing the H3 line at the 2004 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show with this tough concept vehicle, offering the first look at the brand's upcoming, expressive vehicles.[image]http://images.motortrend.com/future/concept_cars/112_0312_hummerh3t_28_s.jpg[/image] [image]http://www.motortrend.com/images/viewlarger.gif[/image]
"The H3T concept expresses a vision of the potential of future Hummer vehicles, targeted at enthusiasts who desire the Hummer image and capability, but in a smaller, non-SUV configuration," says Clay Dean, design director for small trucks and Hummer. "It also provides a visual clue to the evolution of Hummer's design."
Innovative features abound in the H3T: The pickup box incorporates side-access doors, along with drop-down assist steps that also double as weather-tight storage compartments. The H3T's unique tailgate forms an unbroken load surface when down, contributing to the H3T's versatility. There's also a large, power-operated folding canvas sunroof and drop-down rear window that combine to offer an open-air driving experience.[image]http://images.motortrend.com/future/concept_cars/112_0312_hummerh3t_31_s.jpg[/image] [image]http://www.motortrend.com/images/viewlarger.gif[/image]
There wouldn't be a Hummer badge on the H3T if it didn't promise the ability to traverse challenging terrain that would leave lesser 4x4s spinning their tires. Its wheels-at-the-corners stance, along with 34-inch-tall tires and 11.5 inches of ground clearance, gives the H3T a 51-degree approach angle and a 50-degree departure angle -- off-road performance metrics more in line with heavily modified rock crawlers than a factory-produced street machine.
