First, the good news: Hummer is making an H3 Truck. Now the bad news: it’s not as cool as the concept.

H3T Concept: Looks great on the moon and in your driveway.

The sweet chrome around the windshield is gone, as is the titanium-looking rocker panels are blacked out. Although the small cab looked cool, the quad-cab will be practical.

The H2 SUT was the H2 with the back notched with a small truck bed.
But the H3 Truck has a long wheel base to make room for a useful truck bed.

 

Notice the dirt bike wheel clamp in the front of the bed. I say it’s time for Hummer to sponsor the X-Games.

Customize the H3T?

I know that car guys get all worked up when it comes to customizing trucks and SUVs. They argue that these are rugged vehicles that help men explore jungles and mountains. It’s a violation to the species if you tame a wolf to become a house dog.

I understand why purists think the way they do, but I don’t agree with them anymore. The reality is that most people don’t have enough money to buy a new vehicle like the H3T and then use it exclusively off road. He needs it to run errands, haul furniture, and pick up a friend to go to a movie. This is how real people live in the real world. It’s not a sin to buy a Hummer and then keep it on paved streets.

Here’s the deal: the world is ready for a new breed of custom cars. I don’t need to see another ’32 Ford, another suped-up Japanese racer, or a million-dollar muscle car. It’s all been done. Imagine a tough, menacing SUVs creepin’ low through town. Urban warriors.

To give you an idea of what I’m talking about, look at Dwayne Wade’s H2 Truck that earned the the “King of Bling” at GM’s annual competition. The most noticeable change to his truck are the massive 30″ inch rims. Can it go off road? No. Does it look cool? Yes. That’s enough for me.

 

Baller!

Summary: It’s time for someone to start dreaming about what they’re going to do to the Hummer H3 Truck. There’s no shame in it.
