2009 Hummer H3T Spotted at Baja 1000

ooks like the 2009 Hummer H3T is a step closer to production, ditching the mule-bed it was sporting out at the General's Proving Grounds and stepping into the quasi-light of day. Also taking one step forward was the General's PR arm, making the smart move of showing off the new quasi-pickup at the Baja 1000. But we digress -- the pickup "bed," if you can call it that, will offer a cargo area of roughly 4-feet wide by 4½ to 5-feet long and the H3T will supposedly have a front locker and drivetrain options that mimic the H3. Expect the H3T to be powered by the new 295 HP V8 first shown in the H3 Alpha, as well a 242-horsepower 3.7-liter I5 powerplant. In addition, expect some truck-like accessories like optional cargo boxes including a small lunchbox/toolbox with the ability to easily lift-off and take to your worksite. Other boxes are likely to include cargo boxes that the whole length of the bed, as well as one which will run the width. Full spy report from Brenda Priddy after the jump.
