The 2009 Hummer H3 adds a crew-cab pickup truck body style to its roster. Otherwise, the lineup for this off-road-ready midsize SUV should remain largely unchanged. The pickup, called H3T, is larger than Chevrolet's Colorado compact pickup but smaller than the full-size Silverado. Base versions of the H3 wagon retain a 242-hp 3.7-liter 5-cylinder engine. The top-line Alpha sports a 300-hp 5.3-liter V8. The H3T will offer both of these engines, though the V8 is reserved for the H3T Alpha. A 5-speed manual transmission is still standard on 5-cylinder models. Optional on those and standard on the Alpha is a 4-speed automatic. Towing capacity on the 5-cylinder is 3000 lb with the manual transmission and 4500 lb with the automatic. The Alpha has a maximum towing capacity of 6000 lb. H3 and H3T come with all-wheel drive that includes low-range gearing for off-road use. An available Off-Road Adventure Suspension Package on the wagon includes ultra-low gearing and a locking rear axle for severe off-road forays. This feature carries over to the pickup as well. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and curtain side airbags. GM's OnStar assistance is standard. A rearview camera is available, along with a navigation system. This report is based on evaluations of the 2008 Hummer H3.
