Have you seen the 2009 Hummer Truck yet? How does $ 46,000 sound? That was the sticker price for the "Alpha version" that I saw sitting on the lot. ( The Alpha version has front and rear lockers )
It is slightly bigger than a mid-size truck. The 4x4 version has good ground clearance, but skid plates are not included. A front chrome grill is one of the options, but I didn't see the cost of that. After taxes, and adding a few caver modifications, this truck would be well over $ 50,000. I don't think it is a very appealing looking truck, but I guess the Hummer fans will like it. It has a flatter roof than most trucks. I presume there will be some sort of roof rack option. It has a small glass window on the roof, but I don't know if it opens. http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/roadtests/131_0804_2009_hummer_h3t_review/photo_02.html How many Americans does GM think have both the money and the desire to own such a vehicle? Apparently, they think there are thousands of people, as there are at least 10 collecting dust on the lot I was at. It has leaf springs on the back which are attached beneath the axle. Would you go to a remote area of Mexico in a $ 50,000 vehicle? For that amount of money, I think a person would be better off with a 2006 Dodge Powerwagon. Jeep should have come out with a similar product about 10 years ago. I think it would be a mistake for Chrysler to try to do it now. I don't believe this new Hummer has any fuel saving gizmos, like cylinder deactivation or VVT, etc. It looks like a real gas guzzler. Too be continued ....
