New HUMMER Truck Coming in 2009
Automotive News is reporting that a "new Hummer truck" will be launched sometime in 2009. HUMMER's general manager Martin Walsh claims the vehicle will have "unparalleled off-road capabilities" and be "recognizable from a distance." AN is a bit ambiguous referring to the new product as a "Hummer truck" in that we're not entirely sure whether the outlet is talking about a traditional pickup with a bed or referring to the new product as a truck in general though it could have a traditional SUV shape. We expect it will be called either the H3T or H4. Either way, HUMMER has learned with the H3 that downsizing its military-inspired macho looks and maintaining above average off-road prowess can equal big sales. The H3 (shown above disconnected from terra firma) is selling like gangbusters all over the world and has led to a 54-percent rise in sales globally despite the larger H2 waning in popularity.

Martin Walsh also mentioned that a hybrid HUMMER is not in the product pipeline, saying, "it does not allow the vehicle to demonstrate true off-road capability." Since off-roading usually occurs at speeds less than 35 mph, a true hybrid rock-crawler would likely need to run off of its batteries while bounding boulders. We have to imagine some clever software programming to create just the right throttle response would make for a compelling off-roader propelled by electrons. Either way, HUMMER does have plans for flex-fuel versions of its vehicles.

Because after all we all know damn good and well that people that buy Hummers have a common goal and that is to deplete the worlds oil supply.

Hummer is the only Vehicle car line the has an owner operated club coupled with the red-cross whose sole purpose is to help others in cases of emergency. To provide transportation for doctors, supplies, and other emergency personell into areas that other vehicles just can't go. Its called the HOPE program... Some owners intentions aren't just bad.

GM is going to kill the Hummer brand appeal if they keep coming out with cars that represent the opposite of what the original stood for.

Hummers represent power, invincibility and go anywhere capability. It just so happens it was a pig on fuel.

The H2 and especially H3 don't represent any of the above, and they're still pigs.

Hummers represent power , invincibility and go anywhere capability. GREAT just what we need more rap stars and soccer moms think they are driving a tank wanna be and run people off the road and cost more accidents.

Wow... GM goes all marketing fluff and tells us they want to save the world...

And then they turn their backs on us, quietly introducing a new HUMMER... will they ever learn?!?

I've always hated Hummer and I always will!

Even the SUZUKI VITARA is a better and more practicle off-roader than the junk,heavy H2.

Weird that GM is continuing it's "we're a decade too late" vehicle development strategy.

The HUMMER H2 and H3 both have best in class off-road capability, and gas mileage is comparable with any in its class. Its not any worse or any better than any in its class. The only downside to this truck would be that the bed doesn't look to provide much use. Alot like the Ford Explorer Sport with the tiny bed
