It is time to reveal the new pick truck, which will be presented to the public in the next Chicago Auto Show. It would take a little longer for us to have the official images, but the magazine Truck Trend broke the embargo date (February 1, 2008) in its last issue.
The Hummer H3T is build on the Chevrolet Colorado /H3 architecture. Although based on the SUV, the H3T’s wheelbase is 8,6 cm larger, reaching 3,41 m and allowing the presence of a pretty reasonable separate bed, with 1,5 m. The crew cab ca carry up to five passengers.
Engine options range from a Vortec 3.7L I-5 with dual overhead cams and variable valve timing that generates 245 bhp at 5,600 rpm and 328 Nm at 4,600 rpm, mated to a five-speed manual transmition or an optional four-speed automatic gearbox, to the Hummer H3 Alpha’s engine, a 5.3-liter small block V8 that delivers 304 bhp and 433 Nm. For this option, the four-speed automatic transmition is standard, as well as the towing capacity of 2,676 kg.
If the H3T owner wants to use it in difficult terrains, the off-road capabilities of the new Hummer pickup truck can be maximized with the Off-Road Adventure suspension package. Besides front and rear locking differentials, unique in the midsize pickup trucks segment, it also offers 33-inch tires, 4.03:1 low-range gearing in the transfer case and crawl ratios of 68.9 with the manual transmission or 56.2 with the automatic. The standard suspension package, the Z85 Heavy-Duty Handling and Trailering, uses 32-inch tires.
Andrus Ciprian designer of Romania, presented what could be a new Hummer, he calls and HB is a possibility for the future model of small firm size, even GM. Before long it will confirm the passing of hands and a Chinese company will support the future of Hummer.
It consists of a body formed from carbon fiber and aluminum. It is available in two versions, one is equipped with a small windshield divided into three sections, and a series of cameras around the vehicle (designed for safety), and the second model is equipped with windshield classic One glance, and it is well lit, with large lights on the ceiling.
The bottom of the HB is protected by shield panels to protect the drive train, passengers rocks and other potentially dangerous objects. The motor consists of a measure of the use of biofuels V6. Power is transmitted to all four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.
This project mix all types of uses that can be given to a vehicle of its characteristics (extreme security, off-road, etc.). And gives a nod to the future very important stylistic Hummer , which I urgently need this firm. The idea is excellent, as is its design. Ojala something very similar is true.
