2009 HUMMER H3T Alpha 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
15 of 17 people found this review helpful

The 09 H3T is as advertised. "The most versatile Hummer ever." The functional 5' bed, along with it's ability to haul 5 adults makes it quite a utilitarian rig. Pros: Exterior styling, level of optioning, quality of build, V8 power, 4X capability. Cons: A little tight in the interior (i.e. 2 large guys sit pretty near shoulder-to-shoulder; rear legroom is quite cramped), no lock on tailgate, gas mileage (i.e. The best I have obtained is 12 city; 14 hwy), weak auto shift b/t 3rd & 4th gear. All noted, as a truck/SUV guy, I can not think of a vehicle in this price range that compares. Given the mid price point, you get what you pay for...perhaps even a little more.

H3T Amazing!

Traded in my ZR2 Jimmy for the H3T. Best decision I have ever made. This truck is amazing! Lots of room, handles great and with the 5 speed manual its super fun to drive. Build quality is great and I am getting much better gas mileage with the I5 then I used to get with the piggish 4.3 V6 in the Jimmy. Has enough power for my needs and off road or in snow this truck is a dream. To top it off having the pick up bed makes this truck so much more practical and useful. A+

The nature of my work requires me to get to remote transmitter sites regardless of weather conditions. The H3T manages the winter weather with ease, and has no problem with rough terrain. The truck rides well and is comfortable.

I traded in an 08 Silverado crew cab for the H3T. I opted for the 5-speed manual and adventure package. This truck is a true pleasure to drive. The five cylinder has plenty of grunt and is at it's best when mated to the manual transmission. This is not a race car by any means though! The interior is nice and the seats are top notch. The mileage so far has been good, 16.5 mpg with mixed city/highway driving. This is better than what i averaged with the Silverado. The H3T benefits from the longer wheelbase (better ride) and the full size rear doors. We also own an H3 which helped seal the deal to purchase an H3T. They are both unique vehicles that not everyone would appreciate.

HUMMER TOUGH

I have owned my H3T Alpha since the end of August. I have 2,659 miles on it. This truck is very nice to drive however slightly uncomfortable for long drives as the driver's side leg room is awkward. I find myself adjusting every 5 minutes. The sound system is pretty good however my H2 has a Bose system that definitely sounds a ton better. Speaking of which my H2's seats are like a Lazy Boy Recliner where as the H3T seats are not as cushy more firm not as wide. The truck does drive very comfortably and handles extremely well in the snow. My biggest gripe is that the EPA window sticker states 13 mpg city 16 mpg highway. At best I have gotten just under 13, and I drive mostly highway

Purchased my 2009 H3t about 2 weeks ago. It's my first truck and I was a little worried going from a sports car (Nissan 350z) to this, but so far I love it. Mine is black,the dealership threw on black Hummer rims, and this truck in black on black looks awesome. Not fast by any means, but thus far I'm getting about 420 miles on a tank with the i5 which is fine with me. Didn't get it to work on a farm or anything hardcore, but for running around the desert trails out here in Arizona it has been great.

I've had this Hummer truck almost 15 years,and still drives great it's got milage on it (146000) but what used truck Don't? I just got the original brakes and shocks replaced last month, I've always taken care of my truck. Outside of the brakes and shocks, the only other things I have replaced is 4sets of tires, 3 windshields-(we live in PHX), a turpentine belt and alternator -- it's been the most trouble -free truck I've ever owned.

It's an suv for sure! I drove 1780 miles one way in 3 days had a blast.. No problems at all . Yes fuel mileage stinks not the best ride in world, But the fun factor is what it is fun!! The little 5 cyl engine sounds kinda busy at 70-75 mph but I'm starting back in the morning. Same 1700 miles and grinning all the way .. Just so you know my h3t is named Maggie.

This truck is a real head turner. First of all there are very few on the road so people ask all the time about it. Has as much room as my last pickup, the Dodge Ram, but is built much stronger and more torque. I love my new truck.

This is my second Hummer. I previously had an '08 H3 and loved it but always wanted the 'T'. Being a limited production vehicle, I finally found one I could afford as the resale prices have started to rise. Like the one before, this also is an Alpha. Same color, Solar Flair. The smoothness and power of the V8 far outweighs anything you give back on fuel mileage. I've driven an I-5 equipped H3T and there's really no comparison. The size of the cargo bed is quite handy and really not an issue as I didn't purchase it for hauling large loads. That's not it's forte. Driving it does take some getting use though because the average truck has for more square feet of glass to look out of but when you get acclimated to the interior it's quite comfortable and the setting sun, because of the short overhang of the windscreen, is never an issue. It could use more storage space and cup holders for the rear seat area. I do remember there was an insert available on my H3 for the back seat that had a cup holder in it. Don't know why that wasn't offered as standard equipment. Overall, I truly enjoy driving the truck. Chances are you'll never see another one at a stoplight. And just like the first series early Bronco's, these will only increase in value.

I bought this car for my ranch and it doesn't even work half of the time. I have always loved Hummers. I had a Range Rover for my ranch to drive up in the mountains and go off roading in. Owned a Hummer H2 before that. I am going back to a Range Rover. I hate this car!

Just bought it, but from what I've experienced so far, there is not another truck in it's class on the planet that can even come close. The power, maneuverability, and rugged good looks commands excitement and frankly titillates both men and women alike.
