Hummer H3T Alpha 2009 Specs

Hummer H3T Alpha

Hummer H3T Alpha Specs Review. HUMMER is bringing its unmistakable style and unmatched capability to the truck market with the 2009 H3T. The Hummer H3T is bigger than a midsize truck and smaller than a full-size truck, creating its own niche in the market. "It offers the combination of truck versatility and HUMMER off-road prowess that delivers customers to the trail in style."

In addition to its segment-defying size, The Hummer H3T also stands apart from other trucks with its signature HUMMER off-road capability. It also is the only midsize truck to offer front and rear locking differentials, as well as 33-inch tires. The Hummer H3T is offered in four trim levels, including five-cylinder models and the popular, V-8-powered H3T Alpha edition. HUMMER will sell The Hummer H3T in North America, Europe and the Middle East.

• Design

Like all HUMMER models, The Hummer H3T has a purposeful design. The wide, seven-slot grille and round headlamps mounted in square housings are signature HUMMER design elements.

"Form following function is at the core of HUMMER's design philosophy, and The Hummer H3T's capability reflects that mantra," said Carl Zipfel, HUMMER director of design and former motocross professional. The crew cab body shares H3 styling and components from the B-pillar forward, while the rear section of the cab and the separate bed are unique to The Hummer H3T. The five-foot bed is similar in design and function to GM's recently redesigned full-size trucks, including an easily removable tailgate and provisions for a bed-rail accessory system. A full-size spare tire is mounted beneath the bed.

One of the industry's largest portfolios of accessories complements The Hummer H3T's bed, offering different cargo management options to suit all of those lifestyle interests.

• Accessories

One of the industry's broadest portfolios of vehicle accessories has been developed for The Hummer H3T. There are more than 75 HUMMER Genuine Accessories offered.

• Interior

The Hummer H3T's crew cab cabin offers seating for five adults, with a 60/40-split rear bench seat that folds flat for increased cargo-carrying options. Standard amenities also include air conditioning, power locks, power windows and remote keyless entry. HUMMER's Rear Vision system and a navigation system are available. Standard in The Hummer H3T is the Vortec 3.7L I-5 with dual overhead cams and variable valve timing. The Hummer H3T Alpha's 5.3L engine is a powerful and efficient member of GM's legendary small-block V-8 family.  

• Chassis

The Hummer H3T's frame and suspension system are based on a stretched version of the H3 SUV's chassis and suspension - the same race-proven design found on Baja 1000-winning stock-class race trucks. The wheelbase measures 134.2 inches (3,409 mm) - 22 inches (86 mm) longer than the H3 SUV.

An independent SLA torsion bar front suspension and multileaf Hotchkiss-type rear suspension are used. There are two suspension packages available:

Z85 Heavy-Duty Handling and Trailering - This standard suspension delivers an excellent balance of on-highway comfort and off-road capability. It includes 32-inch all-terrain tires mounted on 16-inch, smoke-color steel wheels, specially tuned heavy-duty shocks and either a 4.56-ratio (3.7L) or 4.10-ratio (5.3L) rear axle. 

To support the torque output of the 5.3L V-8, The Hummer H3T Alpha's front differential case is made of cast iron; other models feature an aluminum case.  

• Off-road capability

The Hummer H3T lives up to HUMMER's legendary off-road reputation, with best-in-class extreme off-road capability. Exceptional 10.2-inch (285 mm) ground clearance (with 33-inch tires) 

38.7-degree approach angle and 30.1-degree departure angle (with 33-inch tires)

Segment-first available front- and rear-locking differentials

Standard HUMMER Hill Hold Assist for improved hill ascension

"For most lifestyles, there's almost nothing The Hummer H3T can't handle," said Walsh. "It's a truck with HUMMER's immutable capability."

Complementing the features that enable The Hummer H3T's impressive off-road prowess are a host of first-class protective elements, including four standard skid shields: a front shield, an oil-pan shield/front-axle shield, a transfer case shield and a fuel tank shield.

• Safety 

Continuing HUMMER's tradition of delivering a broad range of safety systems, The Hummer H3T offers the following standard features:

Dual frontal air bags with GM's passenger sensing system

StabiliTrak electronic vehicle stability control system

Tire pressure monitoring system

LATCH rear child seat anchors

The Hummer H3T was also designed for vehicle-to-vehicle compatibility in the event of a crash, and its rigid body structure provides good passenger protection.
