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.
