Two versions of the H3 currently available

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

The Hummer H3 is an SUV or sports use vehicle from Hummer division of Yankee car manufacturer General Motors.  The H3 relies on the same automobile that also underpins other GM vehicles such as the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado pickup lorries, the GMT355.  The H3 was the 1st Hummer model made by GM and is also the littlest Hummer model.  The automobile is presently assembled and produced in 2 factories, the Shreveport, Louisiana factory of GM and the Port Elizabeth plant located in S.  A.  .  There are 2 versions of the H3 currently available – the SUV in its conventional midsize and the H3T, the midsize pickup.  It is assumed that close to 150,000 units of the H3 have been sold in the US alone. 

The H3 has an in-line 5 front engine with a 3,651 cc 3.7 liters capacity.  The engine features a bore measuring 3.8 inches, a stroke measuring 4 inches, double overhead cam, 10 compression ratio, 4 valves per cylinder LLR, and variable valve timing/camshaft.  The four-wheel drive system is a full-time, two-speed, and electronically controlled.  This system makes the car fitting for on-road and off-road driving appropriate in all conditions.  Optional features include electronic locking front and back differentials, wiring harness, and a trailer hitch.  Meanwhile, the H3T is a crew cab pickup truck version of the H3 model.  Its bed, which measures five feet, positions it between a full-size lorry and a mid-size truck. 

safety features of the SUV include anti-lock four-wheel disc brakes, electronic stability control, LATCH child-seat anchor, tire-pressure monitoring, and brake-controlled traction control.  Side-curtain airbags are also standard in all H3s and H3Ts, but was an optional feature until 2008.  The H3’s dimensions for the existing 2008 model are 186.7 in ( length ) by 74.7 in ( width ) by 73.2 in ( height, which was shorted by .5 inches compared to the 2005-2007 model ).
