Hummer H3T Powered by 5 Cylenders
Since the last news about the recalling possibility for the H3 line related to the problem of loose clips on the hood, Hummer hasn’t been producing any other products since then. Well, except for the H3T line.
The H3T still carries the same look you can always expect from Hummer: strong, buff, solid, and masculine. With slits windows, square-block look protrusions, and big grille with seven solid bars, it looks similar like Jeep yet still holding on to the basic stylish feature from the Hummer origin.
The inside look offers generic instrument panel with rounded edges, very opposite with the boxy look from the outer appearance. This car weighs about 5,000 pounds with inline 5 cylinder of 3.7 liter engine, but strangely it’s only capable of producing 239 hp. The worse part is that it comes along with automatic 4 speed transmissions.
Everything has the down side part, and so does the H3T. Not only it has problems with power and transmissions but also with the fuel economy feature, which is terrible and not supposed to be built from the first time.
For conclusion, if you like H3T is good if you’re in favor for Hummer. But if you’re looking for real quality and performance, it’s not a good thing.
