HUMMER Trucks
Truck Reviewer
HUMMER trucks have very much the same basic shape and styling as the HUMMER SUV line. The additional cargo space and layout that creates the truck bed was literally shaped by taking away the end of the SUV and creating a truck bed. HUMMER trucks are serious business and are intended for the hard core use of off roading and other heavy duty jobs. These are not trucks that were built to cruise around town, although they can still certainly turn some heads when they are used that way.
The size of HUMMER trucks has some consumers heading toward other options. They are simply larger and wider than most vehicles and thus are difficult to park in tight spaces. Those who appreciate them most are those who get a chance to use them for exactly what they were intended for.
HUMMER trucks were designed from a military vehicle that was built to handle the rough and rugged terrain of foreign lands. That makes them perfectly capable of handling some of the harshest terrain that can be thrown in their path. When it comes right down to it, these trucks are built for handling the roughest terrain of any vehicle.
The HUMMER truck line includes the H3T, which had its final release for the 2010 model year. Built to the highest standards of rugged design, the H3T did not meet the same popularity as the SUV line. The fuel efficiency took its toll as well and the overall standing with the public was not what the company had hoped for. While these vehicles are excellent for off road adventures, they simply did not meet the standards for everyday driving conditions.
The H2 SUT was part of the HUMMER truck line that was brought to its final model year in 2009. For many of the same reasons that the H3T did not thrive within the consumer population, the H2 SUT was a cross between the truck version and the SUV series that gave HUMMER its everyday household name quality.
The H1 is the HUMMER that is a blend of truck, SUV, and Jeep. With the earmark of each characteristic the H1 was known as the primary HUMMER of choice. 22 inches of obstacles along the terrain would simply not slow down the H1. At 16 inches of ground clearance and the ability to take on such terrain at a 60% grade the H1 became the crawler of the public. The H1 spans more than 3 feet more than your typical compact car and is around 7000 pounds.
On board, the H1 offers a system for letting the air out of the tires to allow for the typical crawling and clamoring that the HUMMER trucks are known for. The same system allows the driver to return the tires to their normal air pressure before hitting the open road once again. With impressive features like this it is little wonder that there was a love affair with the H1.
Of course, their size, fuel economy, and overbearing public scrutiny have done nothing to help the HUMMER truck line increase in popularity over the years. While there are still plenty of admirers, these trucks are seen less and less on today’s roadways.
