Re: H3 T Codenamed GMT745,
I understand the classification. Not trying to sound pessimistic either. I do appreciate what you are both trying to say.
My concern here is not even with the new truck in particular. I acknowledged that compromises would have to be made for a "truck" (pickup).
I do like that Hummer has remained loyal to it's original concept. The vehicles moved in the only direction they could, smaller, lighter and less expensive. They also remained capable by design. The H2 SUT is as capable as the H2 SUV.
When I look at Jeep, I appreciate the vehicle that started the heritage, I appreciate how it has evolved. They even had some other vehicles (ie. Cherokee, Wagoneer, etc. etc.) that were also very capable. However, look what they mostly offer now.
Just because people will buy it, doesn't mean they should build it. I know GM is a business, and that business is to sell vehicles that people will pay for. I wanted a Hummer since I drove my first Humvee, the H3 was the first Hummer model I could afford to buy new. I bought an early production and love it.
I just don't want to see Hummer become what Jeep is. Offering everything they think they can sell, with a Jeep badge on it. It cheapens the brand and devalues the credibility of what it means to be a Jeep.

Re: H3 T Codenamed GMT745,
That truck will still perform very admirably even with a slightly longer rear over hang. A 4" lift would get you the angle right back and get you anywhere. Look at some of the Tacomas out there with similar overhangs. Out of the box, it will not be as good as a SUV h3, but it woluld make a great midsize truck that could really open up new markets for hummer and therefore attract more aftermarket attention.

Re: H3 T Codenamed GMT745,
I wish they would take a cue from the Ridgeline:
Two way tailgate.
Large lockable trunk under the bed.
