Now I really do not expect you to know this nor do I expect you to remember this in any way, but it was around a couple of months back that I was so haunted by the Hummer that it almost felt as if a Hummer curse was put on me as each and every day we had something to write about either some new ugly modification of a Hummer or just how bad it actually is for the planet. It has been a long time since and now the Hummer is back. Not to say that the gasoline guzzling monster was ever out of the news but just the sheer fact that I was out of this place for a while.

This piece of news though is about the unveiling of the brand new Hummer H3T concept and it just makes me wonder if the planet really needs another Hummer to be bestowed upon it. The dynamic H3T is a midsize truck that infuses all of Hummer’s military-derived DNA into an efficient, refined package and carves a new niche in the midsize truck market. The makers introduced the ruggedly refined H3T concept vehicle at the 2004 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show, providing a glimpse at a growing family of expressive, versatile vehicles.

The new H3T still seems pretty fine apart from all the fuel it ends up drinking. The pickup box incorporates side-access doors, along with drop-down assist steps that also double as weather-tight storage compartments. The H3T’s unique tailgate forms an unbroken load surface when down, contributing to the H3T’s versatility. Its wheels-at-the-corners stance, along with 34-inch-tall tires and 11.5 inches of ground clearance, gives the H3T a 51-degree approach angle and a 50-degree departure angle - critical measures on Hummer’s internal “off-road performance metric” of capabilities.

It seems that we have another very attractive vehicle in the form of H3T and only time will tell if it will be given a bit more affection than the ones that came before it by all those who care for the planet. For the Auto lover though, the H3T is a pretty good buy if you can actually feed it!
