2009 Hummer H3 Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The optional front moonroof is among the largest I've seen. One of the biggest problems with the H3 is its limited side and rear visibility. This is partly due to the SUV's short windows, which sometimes makes changing lanes — and other maneuvers that require looking somewhere other than straight ahead — a faith-based experience. The newly optional backup camera helps in this regard, but it only works when the H3's transmission is in Reverse. The 60/40-split backseat provides decent room for adults. The seats don't offer as much adjustability as some other SUVs (they don't slide forward... |

Why should I also consider these?
The 2009 HUMMER H3T is classified as a mid-size pickup truck, so its competition is well-defined on paper.
However, as similar as these trucks look on a specification sheet, in person, the H3T's styling makes its competitors look like girlie-man trucks.
The Dodge Dakota is significantly improved in 2008 and offers two cab/bed configurations and two engine choices, including a powerful 4.7-liter V-8 matched to a five-speed automatic.
The Dakota is a solid choice, but lacks the HUMMER's styling and ultimate off-road capabilities.
Built at the same plant as the HUMMER H3T are GM's mid-size twins, and one could also cross-shop the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon.
A V-8 option is now available on these trucks, so no longer are these entries the 98-pound weaklings of the mid-size truck segment.
Then there are the imports: the six-cylinder Tacoma, Frontier, and Ridgeline.
The Toyota and Nissan (like the Dodge and Chevy/GMC) nameplates offer more variety than the HUMMER, including two-wheel-drive variations that offer real benefits every time the fuel tank needs to be filled.
