V8 Midsize Truck - I Drive a Unicorn Hummer H3T Alpha Truck! Dude, I Love (Or Hate) My Ride!

[@OneNationUnderGod.]

Amazing Hummer Jay, thank you for your service 🇺🇸

[@brianaustin1328]

Judging by the comments, everyone likes a sweet hummer.

[@CM_UAV]

i mean, who doesn't

[@joellerue850]

The truck is nice too hehe

[@jacobberlin614]

Seriously nice H3.. Damn.. TFL NEEDS ONE

[@jeffk464]

You know all the well deserved hate for the obnoxious H2, I always thought the H3 was a pretty awesome looking vehicle.

[@AndrewNobleOfficial]

These older hummers make a great budget build in today’s world! The early 2000’s made some bullet proof trucks!!

[@kmf1392]

I don't know about them being bulletproof... Engines are nice, but I've seen a few blown differentials on "trails" haha.

[@gwaddles]

Not exactly. I had a 2009. Spent 3K on it in 3 years, but I still regret letting it go

[@gwaddles]

I had a 2009 H3 Adventure with front and rear lockers. How I miss that truck

[@00ninja00]

I don’t know about budget. H3t alpha 09/10 are still quite expensive. 25k-30k from what I’ve seen, for the lower mileage ones >70k miles. Maybe for a regular h3, but definitely not a h3t alpha. I wanted one of these, but cuss they were so expensive, I just bit the bullet and bought a gladiator rubicon, or l else I would’ve bought one of these.

[@SIDVENOM]

Regardless all the trucks Andre test drove on this channel he just keeps loving Hummers.

I would have to go 35" inch tires and build that 5.3 a little but very cool truck because they are so rare. Wipe the drewl from your mouth Andre. Lol

Yep..mild cam...clean up the heads...it would be nice

[@TheSolidusJ]

I got that billet badge made after one of my tattoos

[@allenx71]

As an h3 alpha owner this brought me so much joy 😊😊😊😊

[@vr4787]

So that means 3 Midsize Trucks had V8 options at some point: 1. Dodge Dakota 2. Chevy Colorado 3. H3T

[@ahizzle]

And Canyon if you count that differently (H3, Colorado, and Canyon are all the same platform)

[@ToyotaNutjob]

1st generation toyota tundra

[@Inferno45]

Squanch Wanch the tundra is a full size truck that competes with Silverado/ sierra, F150,ram 1500 and Titan..... the toyota tacoma is a midsize truck that competes with the dakota, Colorado/canyon, ranger and now the jeep gladiator

[@vr4787]

GamingWillis oh yeah forgot about the Colorado’s GM twin.

[@zakprom7850]

@@Inferno45 no, the first generation toyota tundra is much smaller than the silverado, f150, and ram.

[@TheSolidusJ]

This was such an amazing experience!!! Thank you guys for having me on, can't wait to meet again with the H3T and Gladiator!!!

[@robjackson4046]

You looked stoked! And we all know they can wheel pretty hard.

[@11bbasterd]

Dude are you still at Carson? I had a h3 alpha the suv and stayed going off roding off of old stage, behind the Broadmoor. Sick alpha

[@TheSolidusJ]

Yup, im here for another year

[@normt430]

Awesome truck! In good taste too!

[@apollo122345678]

Sweet ride Jay. Looking forward to seeing go up against a gladiator.

Hummer needs to bring this truck back!! On another note, Semper Fi, Boricua. 😉🇵🇷

[@salvador_mano4x4]

I prefer the H3 suv, but...... Daaaamn this thing is sexy

[@EmilsanP]

Thank you for your service. Boricua represent! HOOAH!

[@StoneysWorkshop]

good idea andre wanna see it go up against the gladiator

[@astrogreenarrow]

Me too

[@markwangontario7573]

I was still in high school back in 2004, I and my friends usually stay in the library and endlessly build Hummer h1s on gm site. You used to need to scroll horizontally to go through all brands owned by GM. Miss those days.

[@mattsmith8161]

Really hope to see that off road video I really want to see the hummer put the jeep in its place Thank you for your service

[@gabri3ride719]

Jeep built a truk like the H3T 10 years later! And galdiator bed is smaller than H3T I’m in Italy and bought my H3T ALPHA last year with only 30000 km! I love it!

[@joecool9739]

Not really Jeep has been making pickups since the 1940s www.caranddriver.com/features/g15379412/classic-old-jeep-pickup-trucks/

[@brianaustin1328]

Of all the “GM” Hummers, this is the one to get.

[@moparjr89]

No of all the gm hummers get a real one its called h1 alpha you get a real hummer with a duramax diesel

[@ZmannR2]

Until the EV Hummer comes!

[@EM-fi2qg]

This is just a Tahoe with a body kit. It is based on the Tahoe chassis. 🤮

[@brianaustin1328]

Jack Benton I wouldn’t call the H1 a “GM” Hummer. Yes, the own it, but it wasn’t their design or engineering.

[@tylervarnon1787]

E30 M3 The H3s had a frame more similar to a Colorado. The H2s were similar to a Tahoe.

[@coliton787]

Thanks for your service sir 🇵🇷👍

[@jook13]

The smile on Andres face when he drives it.... That is why we want a V8 bronco...

[@davidgagne4373]

I bet every engine option bronco will be faster than this and the 3.5 will be able tow more 🤷‍♂️

[@darkendbeing]

David Gagne 2-3k would make that 5.3 destroy the Broncos 2.7 all day long

[@BradB_Sportscards]

Still drive a H3! GM bring back the H3 and go after Jeep and Bronco!!

Ignorance is bliss man I have one of these actually this is my second one with the v8 and the put in work best truck out there in my opinion way ahead of the competition in its day

I saw one of these bad boys in the wild a few weeks ago, and I didn't believe it came from the factory. I was looking so hard my neck and eyes were hurting, I never know they had a hummer truck.

[@Wrangler59]

Hummer really needs to start building these and the H2 and H3 again. Not that stupid crab walking battery they're working on.

[@SkodzGaming]

Nice, i want to see it against the gladiator ASAP

[@wojramos]

Nice truck bro, I'm one of the lucky ones that owns 1. But yeah hate the fact that I can't find a lift for it yeah for a 2009 American made truck can't believe it .

[@skwerlee]

Pretty interesting truck, a little too busy for my taste though.

[@christopherwilson5671]

I want this but with the new 3.0 diesel, tired of going out to middle of dessert and worry about fuel.

Ya, NO. He said it gets between 13 and 17. That is respectable for what it is. I would run around with the extra gas packs if I were him as well. (if one actually took the thing out of the city)

@@WW-wf8tu , o.k buddy.. you got me..

[@dillan3707]

It is the aluminum block 5.3l engine found in the Yukon/Tahoe and 1/2 ton Sierra/Silverado. It gets pretty decent gas mileage. It is not the Iron block 6.0l engine found in the H2 and 3/4 ton-1 ton Sierra/Silverado that gets HORRIBLE gas mileage.

Ruined it with all those unnecessary mods i mean how many lights do you need and destroying it by putting a snorkel on it that would be an expensive collector truck in 20 years i would have left it stock except a lift and bigger tires at most

Great video Andre. It’s nice to see the H3T get it’s due! As an owner of a 2009 H3X Alpha with the Championship and Adventure package I have to tell you it’s like the original ad, “Like Nothing Else”! Every option with only 53K miles. From it’s factory 18” Rims to it’s solid steel brush guard, monsoon stereo to its front and rear lockers it’s a keeper! Look forward to your comparison! Thx Jay and God bless America!

[@selfdefensejujitsu-mizumar7221]

There’s too much electronic in the H2 and H3’s Hummers for a snorkel to be practical. If you actually brought that thing in 4 feet of water the electrical issues you would end up having would be terrifying!

[@loganholmberg2295]

Wow thats nice. I hope he has allot of fun with it. 😅 Who cares if the Gladiator is better or not. He found his unicorn and hes owning it like a boss!🙂 If it were mine (just to fit my personal interests) Id add some solar (those max traxs can be stacked) a fridge, some place to put some fishing gear, water and cooking gear. Then as long as theres room for my outfitter cot, matress and tent combo from Teton I'd be good to go for a week straight in it.

[@prostreetdino8266]

I just bought a 2009 alpha h3t with the adventure pack, white , love it , I sold my 2004 Jeep TJ that I had done almost every mod available, its was a 5spd and after getting my knees replaced twice already I was hating driving my Jeep uptown to get coffee or whatever , had 35” tires ARB twin lockers etc. And when I seen this h3t come up for sale I knew it would be perfect for me , I don’t miss my TJ at all.

What an awesome truck. Always wanted one.

[@badgerpa9]

nice truck

[@mdrake34]

I had a 2008 Dodge Dakota with the 4.7 V8. It was pretty heavy for a midsize truck, so that engine didn't have the zip I would have hoped for. Terrible gas mileage too, I lived in Birmingham for three years and got around 12 mpg on all of those hills, and even extended highway driving it would never get above 19 mpg. Most full size trucks get better mileage now.

[@scottg391]

A rare piece to say the least. The problem is the platform has no aftermarket support and zero factory parts exists. You’d be hard pressed to find a body panel much less a door handle when it fall off and it will, since it’s a quality GM product. The upside is it’s downside, it’s a GM. AAM axels, LS based engine, 4L60 trans and the NV transfer case. All parts easily found in any half ton Silverado or SUV of he day. Cool truck for sure.

[@treypelham5515]

That is one bad-ass Rig! Nicely modified but not over done. Has to be the coolest Hummer set-up in existence.

[@aky19832001]

Its better than Tommy 60k Jeep wrangler that still has quality control issues and welding failures from the factory.

[@adurpandya2742]

Never liked pickups, but I got a regular 08 h3 suv with only 50,000 miles. I’m gonna get the surface rust off, and it’s gonna hold it’s value well.

[@willdog3]

GM has fallen so far. If they remade anything remotely like this I would be absolutely shocked. V8, midsize truck, with lockers? Yeah, this is already a collectible vehicle, but I think over time these will only go up in value, even as the miles pile on. The Blazer should have been like this. The only way it could improve is with a solid front axle, it would be an absolute Jeep killer.

[@intrepid4x4]

Looking forward to seeing it on the trail with the gladiator

Hey Andre there’s an 09 hummer h3t alpha for sale in Louisville Kentucky. Super clean and low miles. Asking like 35k for it

If I bought one of these. I'd send it back to GM to have the 3.0 duramax and 10 speed transmission. Have it cleaned up, chassis and underbody under coated and some of the electronics upgraded.

[@skywalker2852]

I looked at buying one of these a couple of years ago. It was not too hard to find an Alpha. I was surprised., But I've owned a couple of other orphans vehicles inthepast and it's all fun and games until something breaks... then you're hunting for some rare, expensive part.
