Hummer T3 on a cold Seattle day

the main problem with the hummers is there not really hummers. only the h1 is a humvee. the rest ( H2 and H3) are ford explorers with ugly bodies. and as for you SOB, people like you are the reason that i dont insure my 77 dodge 4x4. why? its funny how defensive drivers get when they see that primer grey beast in traffic. it like they have a sixth sence and know im only into it for $500. and after all, if everybody else has insurance, why waste my money?

Insurance dodgers should face summary execution.

Correction, Bigsky:, The Hummer 2 is based on the GMC Tahoe frame (Which is alot bigger than the Ford Explorer frame. The Explorer is a distant relative of the Ford Rangers frame.)  The H3T, as shown in the first post, is based on the same underpinnings as GM’s new midsize pickups — the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon

Rip the Tahoe thing is a misconception but many people will believe what they want without actually researching something.

The T3 is strictly a concept vehicle at the moment so don't worry fellas. You won't see it any time soon.

LOL, I'm the reason you are too much of a lowlife to live up to your responsibilities and purchase insurance for your truck.  Is there anything else I made you do that I don't know about?

Hate to tell ya Acid, but other than 3 cross members, its the same (See pic below) This was due to cut down the cost of expensive re-tooling.  The axles are just straight axles as well, just like normal 4WD vehicles. It also carries the Jeep Cherokee 4WD transmissions.


Photo curtosy of GMC.


Personally I have no use for Humvees or H2's, can't put a camper on the back, can't haul cow **** in the back...what good is it? ;)

I could do a lay-over of the GMC frame on my CADD/CAM station if you'd like...not trying to draw slop up, just showing that their very similiar frames.  Nothing wrong with the Tahoe frame...ijust pointing out that the H2 frame really has little in common with the original Humvee.

I didn't say it was a common frame with the humvee, I'm saying it's not a Tahoe frame. It may have been "based" on it, but I don't work at GM so I guess I shouldn't say it is or isn't but I do know this. The final frame assembly is made up of 3 sections. The front uses a modified GM 2500HD-Series utility frame. The mid-section is all new and is completely boxed. The rear section uses a modifed GM 1500-Series frame (shared by Tahoe/suburban) which is upgraded for 8000 pound gross vehicle weight.

Sooo maybe 1/3 of the frame is shared, IF you don't count the upgrade.

IMHO Using parts that are proven was a very smart decision on GM's part.

Tohoe's are fine, but the H2 ain't one.

:D

LOL! We have a resident STEP/IGES guy that specializes in helping those with problems.

Are you using V4/V5 interop yet?

FYI, V5 downward compatibility sucks, all you get is a visual representation , no history, no nothing.  Might as well just send a paper copy to the lower release user :rolleyes:
