SPY PICS: Hummer H3T crew cab
Four doors good, two doors bad for the baby Hummer commercial vehicleCrew cabs are a popular choice for tradesmen who have to move staff from site to site or need a vehicle that doubles as the family hack at weekends.
So fate has made a virtue of necessity for the commercial variant of the Hummer H3. Hacking the quarter panels and rear roof section off the H3 SUV and replacing those with a tray was much more cost-effective than developing a single cab variant, according to our excellent spy photographers, Carparazzi.
They're still 'holidaying' in America's south-west, where they spotted this H3T testing. The tray section appears to be good for about 1.5 sq. metres of floor space, which isn't that much, but the Hummer should be adept at towing and carrying heavier payloads to compensate.
US production is expected to commence from August of next year.
The Hummer brand is yet to be launched in Australia, having been delayed by the bureaucrats, but the national launch is now scheduled for October 1. We revealed basic pricing on the H3 here.
Australian Hummers are built in South Africa, so unless the US facility can build RHD models or the SA plant can tool up quickly to produce the H3T, we're unlikely to see it here. Never say never, though.
