Used 2009 HUMMER H3T Alpha 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
You get what you pay for
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.
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

Hummer time!
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.

Excellence On and Off Road
This is the best off road vehicle I have ever driven! Drove them all. Great ride over rock, up rock and through the creeks. No stopping this one
Soon to be a Classic
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.
