gday all had my first look at the h3 hummer today and got to say im impressed for a yank tank
it was a petrol model and went very
well for the size and weight factor but the most impessive was how all the driveline and exhaust was above the chassis line as usual the lowest point was the diffs butt all else was tucked away nicely out of harms way
Im told the v8 model is a couple of years away for australia but look out toyota this truck is definitly worth a look for the money
with just a little bling stuff set this bloke back under 60 gs
we removed the 26575r16 and fitted some 28575r16 tyres
but he could have gone bigger with no worrys
Throw on a lift and you got a very capable rig i reckon
Cheers
Barn

Not badly priced at under 60K for the Toorak Tractor version. Guess we'll soon see lots of Hummers in school carparks and shopping centres. Here's the link to the GM Hummer website.
GM Hummer website
This is interesting "Its compact size can improve the H3’s maneuverability and ground clearance in off-road situations. In its
home market, it is the only vehicle in its segment that can climb a 16 inch vertical wall, scale a 60 per cent grade and traverse a 40 per cent slope. H3 can also ford 407mm of water at 32 km/hour and 610mm streams at 8 km/hour"
I dare say I would be interested in looking at one.

It looked good until I found out it was petrol and only a 70l tank - ridiculous

the 4.5L V8 diesel H2 will be out sometime in the near future, which would be fairly good, but I would prefer a Tahoe. The H3 should get the 2.9L V6 which uses the same CGI block and reverse airflow technology (no manifolds) the 4.5 uses.
2.9L V6 = 184kw/550Nm
4.5L V8 = 230kw/705Nm
Don't get all excited about the 5.3L V8, it's just a standard engine, but better than the inline 5 i suppose. I guess the thing i dont like about the H3, is it's a "look at me" vehicle... which works right up until you are side-by-side with an H2.
