2009 HUMMER H3T 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (3.7L 5cyl 5M)

Review

Purchased my 2009 H3t about 2 weeks ago. It's my first truck and I was a little worried going from a sports car (Nissan 350z) to this, but so far I love it. Mine is black,the dealership threw on black Hummer rims, and this truck in black on black looks awesome. Not fast by any means, but thus far I'm getting about 420 miles on a tank with the i5 which is fine with me. Didn't get it to work on a farm or anything hardcore, but for running around the desert trails out here in Arizona it has been great.

Favorite Features

The looks! Get one blacked out and it looks supermean. The interior is simple, but looks great. It just looks unique...I think even better than the H2T.

Suggested Improvements

Either make an inline 5 with more horsepower or put in a V6. While it sounds cool when I have to put the pedal to the floor, it is slow getting it from 45 to 70 mph.

Review

The nature of my work requires me to get to remote transmitter sites regardless of weather conditions. The H3T manages the winter weather with ease, and has no problem with rough terrain. The truck rides well and is comfortable.

Favorite Features

The overall ruggedness of this truck is the best feature. The smooth ride is surprising. Bluetooth hands free cell phone link was a nice surprise. The cargo rails in the bed are great!

Suggested Improvements

A locking tailgate would be nice. The Monsoon sound system should play MP3 disks or have an auxiliary input jack.

Excellence On and Off Road

2009 HUMMER H3T Alpha 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

This is the best off road vehicle I have ever driven! Drove them all. Great ride over rock, up rock and through the creeks. No stopping this one

Favorite Features

Ride is great. You are in touch with what's below but you don't feel every jolt. I got the 33 in tires this time and I think they add stability and better handling

Suggested Improvements

Lockable compartments would be great. Nowhere to stow watch and camera when we kayak

2009 HUMMER H3T Alpha 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I bought this car for my ranch and it doesn't even work half of the time. I have always loved Hummers. I had a Range Rover for my ranch to drive up in the mountains and go off roading in. Owned a Hummer H2 before that. I am going back to a Range Rover. I hate this car!

Favorite Features

Exterior design. I bought it for the exterior look. Mistake

Suggested Improvements

Small rear seats. Can't seem to go up a hill.

H3T Amazing!

Review

Traded in my ZR2 Jimmy for the H3T. Best decision I have ever made. This truck is amazing! Lots of room, handles great and with the 5 speed manual its super fun to drive. Build quality is great and I am getting much better gas mileage with the I5 then I used to get with the piggish 4.3 V6 in the Jimmy. Has enough power for my needs and off road or in snow this truck is a dream. To top it off having the pick up bed makes this truck so much more practical and useful. A+

Favorite Features

The exterior look of the truck is very cool. Having bluetooth capability standard is awesome and lost of room inside.

Suggested Improvements

Being able to lock the tailgate would be nice

Review

I traded in an 08 Silverado crew cab for the H3T. I opted for the 5-speed manual and adventure package. This truck is a true pleasure to drive. The five cylinder has plenty of grunt and is at it's best when mated to the manual transmission. This is not a race car by any means though! The interior is nice and the seats are top notch. The mileage so far has been good, 16.5 mpg with mixed city/highway driving. This is better than what i averaged with the Silverado. The H3T benefits from the longer wheelbase (better ride) and the full size rear doors. We also own an H3 which helped seal the deal to purchase an H3T. They are both unique vehicles that not everyone would appreciate.

Favorite Features

The rear doors are full size and swing open farther than the H3 which makes entry much easier. The rear seats fold flat. The rear backup camera gives a nice view of potential hazards that you would otherwhise not see. The locking front and rear differentials make short work of most obstacles.

Suggested Improvements

Include heated mirrors as an option! You will need to purchase mudflaps before leaving the dealer. The big tires like to throw everything back on the rear fender

Review

The 09 H3T is as advertised. "The most versatile Hummer ever." The functional 5' bed, along with it's ability to haul 5 adults makes it quite a utilitarian rig. Pros: Exterior styling, level of optioning, quality of build, V8 power, 4X capability. Cons: A little tight in the interior (i.e. 2 large guys sit pretty near shoulder-to-shoulder; rear legroom is quite cramped), no lock on tailgate, gas mileage (i.e. The best I have obtained is 12 city; 14 hwy), weak auto shift b/t 3rd & 4th gear. All noted, as a truck/SUV guy, I can not think of a vehicle in this price range that compares. Given the mid price point, you get what you pay for...perhaps even a little more.

Favorite Features

Exterior styling. Level/quality of optioning. Relatively strong V8. 4 X capability.

Suggested Improvements

Tweak the tranny to smooth out the powerband b/t 3rd & 4th gear. A wee bit more interior space. A locking tailgate.
