In a move that undoubtely surprises no-one here in America, Hummer is planning to release a pickup version of it's H3 SUV here in North America. Given that the H3 is based on the GMT355 platform that origionally underpinned three pickups (Colorado, Canyon, Isuzu thingy), this crossover isn't too far outside of the box.
...Good idea? Good enough I say, to keep things different. With the H1 Alpha out of the lineup, they are going to need to make up a bit for the loss (not that they are losing much). Would I buy one? If they can make it more capable than the other GMT355s, certainly so! More power is going to be the key here, and I'm wondering if the long-rumored turbocharged I5 will debut in the truck?
LLN.comThe 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."
