I don’t know about budget. H3t alpha 09/10 are still quite expensive. 25k-30k from what I’ve seen, for the lower mileage ones >70k miles. Maybe for a regular h3, but definitely not a h3t alpha. I wanted one of these, but cuss they were so expensive, I just bit the bullet and bought a gladiator rubicon, or l else I would’ve bought one of these.
I was still in high school back in 2004, I and my friends usually stay in the library and endlessly build Hummer h1s on gm site. You used to need to scroll horizontally to go through all brands owned by GM. Miss those days.
I love these Hummer H3 Alpha suv's and trucks, the best of both off road prowess and daily livability. Stay safe and thank you for your continued sacrifices, Semper Fi my friend!!
Jeep built a truk like the H3T 10 years later! And galdiator bed is smaller than H3T I’m in Italy and bought my H3T ALPHA last year with only 30000 km! I love it!
I saw one of these bad boys in the wild a few weeks ago, and I didn't believe it came from the factory. I was looking so hard my neck and eyes were hurting, I never know they had a hummer truck.
Squanch Wanch the tundra is a full size truck that competes with Silverado/ sierra, F150,ram 1500 and Titan..... the toyota tacoma is a midsize truck that competes with the dakota, Colorado/canyon, ranger and now the jeep gladiator
Great video Andre. It’s nice to see the H3T get it’s due! As an owner of a 2009 H3X Alpha with the Championship and Adventure package I have to tell you it’s like the original ad, “Like Nothing Else”! Every option with only 53K miles. From it’s factory 18” Rims to it’s solid steel brush guard, monsoon stereo to its front and rear lockers it’s a keeper! Look forward to your comparison! Thx Jay and God bless America!
I just bought a 2009 alpha h3t with the adventure pack, white , love it , I sold my 2004 Jeep TJ that I had done almost every mod available, its was a 5spd and after getting my knees replaced twice already I was hating driving my Jeep uptown to get coffee or whatever , had 35” tires ARB twin lockers etc. And when I seen this h3t come up for sale I knew it would be perfect for me , I don’t miss my TJ at all.
A awesome guy that works at our local UPS has one, not as modified as this one, but the guy loves it and it really is a cool ride, not sure if he has a V8 in his, I always brag on when I’m at UPS. To the man in the video, Thank You Sir for your Service to our Great Country!!!🇺🇸 Love this rig!!!
Wow I didnt even know they made this truck. I must have slept through those two years. He did a wonderful job with the upgrades and add ons. That's one beautiful truck.
Small trucks with V8’s are awesome! I have an 98 explorer with a 5.0, love it. Not a pickup, but still built off the ranger platform. If only ford had put it in the rangers too.
My uncle had one(v5) it drove in south carolina moved to Germany and drove all over Europe in it. They he went to alaska(we recovered many cars and other 4wd trucks with it.) After that it tackled upstate NY. It was the most fun truck, it could go anywhere and sold for 14k with 115thousand miles. 🤯🤯🤯 Definitely some nostalgia with this video. I lived in Mexico and used to see many soccer moms driving these alpha 3ts 😭😢
I remember drooling over these back in 2009. Were very expensive. But much better than the 6.0 gas hog H2 pavement princesses everyone hated back in the day
Wow thats nice. I hope he has allot of fun with it. 😅 Who cares if the Gladiator is better or not. He found his unicorn and hes owning it like a boss!🙂 If it were mine (just to fit my personal interests) Id add some solar (those max traxs can be stacked) a fridge, some place to put some fishing gear, water and cooking gear. Then as long as theres room for my outfitter cot, matress and tent combo from Teton I'd be good to go for a week straight in it.
I'm not a GM guy by any means but my soon to be ex wife and I were on vacation to Gatlinburg, TN a few years ago when we stumbled across a black on black 2009 H3T Alpha at a Cadillac dealership that was also right next to a abandoned Hummer dealership that still had their test course up. The salesman not only let us test drive it but also take it through the course and...to be honest I've driven Jeep's (had an 04 Grand Cherokee Overland Limited with the amazing Quadradrive system), Ford's, Dodges and various Toyotas and that H3T gave me confidence like no other vehicle does on a trail. Once I can find one after my divorce concludes in a month that's under 21k, I will be trading in because these are just amazing trucks.
I always loved these, I feel like they get way too much hate even with just the i5 in them. They're very capable trucks, and the size is great on trails.
I remember going to New Orleans and seeing one of these at Mardi Gras. I definitely gave it a double or triple look because I have NEVER seen one in person.
I drove a regular H3x for about a year and it is probably one of the quietest and best turning ratio vehicles I've ever driven. MPG from the 5 cylinder was disappointing though.
I really, really wanted one of these when replacing my terrain. But after having my 19 canyon for over a year now, I don't have as much of a want for one anymore. I'm getting almost the same power, better mpg, more towing and improved technology.
Man, that is a nice truck! Fully loaded and tastefully modded. The only thing I'd change is to black out all the chrome (including the wheels) as it looks a little too "fancy" for me. Oh, and maybe add a supercharger! :)
A rare piece to say the least. The problem is the platform has no aftermarket support and zero factory parts exists. You’d be hard pressed to find a body panel much less a door handle when it fall off and it will, since it’s a quality GM product. The upside is it’s downside, it’s a GM. AAM axels, LS based engine, 4L60 trans and the NV transfer case. All parts easily found in any half ton Silverado or SUV of he day. Cool truck for sure.
Brought back some memories, I had the same one orange alpha with the slant back snugtop had to get ride of it because you cant fit 3 kids for a daily driver. Miss it.
I looked at buying one of these a couple of years ago. It was not too hard to find an Alpha. I was surprised., But I've owned a couple of other orphans vehicles inthepast and it's all fun and games until something breaks... then you're hunting for some rare, expensive part.
I highly recommend the Milwaukee cordless impact guns. Just as much if not more power than that air gun, without a hose getting dirty/caught up on something, without that noise and without a fitting leaking or breaking. Nice truck. 👍
I had a 2008 Dodge Dakota with the 4.7 V8. It was pretty heavy for a midsize truck, so that engine didn't have the zip I would have hoped for. Terrible gas mileage too, I lived in Birmingham for three years and got around 12 mpg on all of those hills, and even extended highway driving it would never get above 19 mpg. Most full size trucks get better mileage now.
Speaking of V8 midsizes and rumors of it coming back (probably without the V8 sadly) I'd love to see one of these style videos on a dakota with a 360 or 4.7. I know there was an old video taking a 3ed gen up gold mine but it wasn't very in depth. Maybe an older/used mid-size shootout between the Kota, an s10, Colorado, old ranger, and old tacomas. Power trains, interior/cargo capacity, handling/off roading and price.
I have the 2010 h3t alpha with the optional backpacks, hummer bed tool box. and snugtop. I love mine as well. funny thing is, mine is the exact same color......
I love hummers. I didn't have an alpha. I had an old h1 that was just broken in so many ways. Then I got an h3 Manual at 17. That got wrecked this year. If this channel keeps reviewing hummers I may sell my Jeep for another
Nice video and great looking truck. Sad to say I’m bias...... before you get all huffy and stuff let me say this. I love my 2009 H3T manual. Super for off roading or scooting around town either way it’s got everything I could want.
Honestly a midsize V8 truck would be so fun but these companies dont like it when we have fun, because fun also means lawsuits from us having "too much" fun lmao
Amazing Hummer Jay, thank you for your service 🇺🇸
These older hummers make a great budget build in today’s world! The early 2000’s made some bullet proof trucks!!
I don't know about them being bulletproof... Engines are nice, but I've seen a few blown differentials on "trails" haha.
Not exactly. I had a 2009. Spent 3K on it in 3 years, but I still regret letting it go
I had a 2009 H3 Adventure with front and rear lockers. How I miss that truck
I don’t know about budget. H3t alpha 09/10 are still quite expensive. 25k-30k from what I’ve seen, for the lower mileage ones >70k miles.
Maybe for a regular h3, but definitely not a h3t alpha.
I wanted one of these, but cuss they were so expensive, I just bit the bullet and bought a gladiator rubicon, or l else I would’ve bought one of these.
Judging by the comments, everyone likes a sweet hummer.
i mean, who doesn't
The truck is nice too hehe
Regardless all the trucks Andre test drove on this channel he just keeps loving Hummers.
Most men love hummers...
@@Wrangzilla 🙄🙄😂😂😂
This was such an amazing experience!!! Thank you guys for having me on, can't wait to meet again with the H3T and Gladiator!!!
You looked stoked! And we all know they can wheel pretty hard.
Dude are you still at Carson? I had a h3 alpha the suv and stayed going off roding off of old stage, behind the Broadmoor. Sick alpha
Yup, im here for another year
Awesome truck! In good taste too!
Sweet ride Jay. Looking forward to seeing go up against a gladiator.
Seriously nice H3.. Damn.. TFL NEEDS ONE
You know all the well deserved hate for the obnoxious H2, I always thought the H3 was a pretty awesome looking vehicle.
As an h3 alpha owner this brought me so much joy 😊😊😊😊
"Trust No one Edition" Love that!
I got that billet badge made after one of my tattoos
I was still in high school back in 2004, I and my friends usually stay in the library and endlessly build Hummer h1s on gm site. You used to need to scroll horizontally to go through all brands owned by GM. Miss those days.
I love how enthusiastic he is about his truck. This is a great series.
Looking forward to the off-road challenge with the Gladiator. Make it happen.
100%!
I love these Hummer H3 Alpha suv's and trucks, the best of both off road prowess and daily livability. Stay safe and thank you for your continued sacrifices, Semper Fi my friend!!
Thank you for your service. Boricua represent! HOOAH!
The smile on Andres face when he drives it.... That is why we want a V8 bronco...
I bet every engine option bronco will be faster than this and the 3.5 will be able tow more 🤷♂️
David Gagne 2-3k would make that 5.3 destroy the Broncos 2.7 all day long
Jeep built a truk like the H3T 10 years later! And galdiator bed
is smaller than H3T I’m in Italy and bought my H3T ALPHA last year with only 30000 km! I love it!
Not really
Jeep has been making pickups since the 1940s
www.caranddriver.com/features/g15379412/classic-old-jeep-pickup-trucks/
One the only tasteful, utilitarian, well thought out Hummer builds. I love it
I would have to go 35" inch tires and build that 5.3 a little but very cool truck because they are so rare. Wipe the drewl from your mouth Andre. Lol
Yep..mild cam...clean up the heads...it would be nice
A lowlift sas would be one of my first mods
I saw one of these bad boys in the wild a few weeks ago, and I didn't believe it came from the factory. I was looking so hard my neck and eyes were hurting, I never know they had a hummer truck.
Blast from the past. I like it. Thanks for your service
Hummer needs to bring this truck back!! On another note, Semper Fi, Boricua. 😉🇵🇷
Very cool Hummer. Thank you for your service as I finished my 4 year active duty contract in 2018 and now currently in the reserve.
Really hope to see that off road video
I really want to see the hummer put the jeep in its place
Thank you for your service
Awesome truck! Glad to see you enjoying it. Thank you for your service. Keep up with these great videos TFL.
jey Jay, welcome back and thanks!! You deserve a Hummer.
good idea andre
wanna see it go up against the gladiator
Me too
So that means 3 Midsize Trucks had V8 options at some point:
1. Dodge Dakota
2. Chevy Colorado
3. H3T
And Canyon if you count that differently (H3, Colorado, and Canyon are all the same platform)
1st generation toyota tundra
Squanch Wanch the tundra is a full size truck that competes with Silverado/ sierra, F150,ram 1500 and Titan..... the toyota tacoma is a midsize truck that competes with the dakota, Colorado/canyon, ranger and now the jeep gladiator
GamingWillis oh yeah forgot about the Colorado’s GM twin.
@@Inferno45 no, the first generation toyota tundra is much smaller than the silverado, f150, and ram.
Awesome Video!!! Jay Thank You for your service. Hope that Humvee brings you much joy.
Thank you for your service sir.

wait how did u get the h3x with the adventure package
Thanks to him for his service
That is one bad-ass Rig! Nicely modified but not over done. Has to be the coolest Hummer set-up in existence.
Great looking build Jay. Thank you for your service.
Thanks for your service sir 🇵🇷👍
That's the sickest thing ever. Thanks for your service.
I prefer the H3 suv, but...... Daaaamn this thing is sexy
Wow this could be anyone’s dream truck. With that V8 man. That’s the one to go.
Just saw one on the freeway on a tow truck, modded out and I was floored, made me look for this truck and got a great tfl video.
I’m excited to watch this off-road with the Rubicon. Great video Andre.
I have an H3T and I was just waiting for you guys to get your hands on one to take a look at in person.
I just bought a 2009 alpha h3t with the adventure pack, white , love it , I sold my 2004 Jeep TJ that I had done almost every mod available, its was a 5spd and after getting my knees replaced twice already I was hating driving my Jeep uptown to get coffee or whatever , had 35” tires ARB twin lockers etc. And when I seen this h3t come up for sale I knew it would be perfect for me , I don’t miss my TJ at all.

This gentleman done a lot of practical mods to this H3T , well done sir 👏 👍. If I had air on my truck I would have to put a train horn on it!
Wow! This is my dream truck I never knew about!! 😍
That’s reappropriated pioneer tools...lol! Nice ride dude and I was stationed at both those posts!
Fellow (former) Army mechanic (Go Ordnance!). Nice video.
Wow I didnt even know they made this truck. I must have slept through those two years. He did a wonderful job with the upgrades and add ons. That's one beautiful truck.
Love that truck with that color ,...top notch looks too!
Very nice truck you made good deal
I also have a 2010 h3t alpha 5.3 flex fuel and most of the people tell me tha is a badass truck ,sick truck
Small trucks with V8’s are awesome! I have an 98 explorer with a 5.0, love it. Not a pickup, but still built off the ranger platform. If only ford had put it in the rangers too.
Nice, i want to see it against the gladiator ASAP

Awesome Hummer. Thank you for your service
Of all the “GM” Hummers, this is the one to get.
No of all the gm hummers get a real one its called h1 alpha you get a real hummer with a duramax diesel
Until the EV Hummer comes!
This is just a Tahoe with a body kit. It is based on the Tahoe chassis. 🤮
Jack Benton I wouldn’t call the H1 a “GM” Hummer. Yes, the own it, but it wasn’t their design or engineering.
E30 M3 The H3s had a frame more similar to a Colorado. The H2s were similar to a Tahoe.
Thanks for your service and sweet ride
I have two of this H3T's and I love it. SUPER AWESOME RARE TRUCK
What an awesome truck. Always wanted one.
Love it! GM had the Gladiator idea a decade ago.
I remember drooling over these back in 2009. Were very expensive. But much better than the 6.0 gas hog H2 pavement princesses everyone hated back in the day
Wow thats nice. I hope he has allot of fun with it. 😅 Who cares if the Gladiator is better or not. He found his unicorn and hes owning it like a boss!🙂

Still drive a H3! GM bring back the H3 and go after Jeep and Bronco!!
Damn.... When I was a child I loved the Hummer.... I'm glad that my Jeep Renegade Trailhawk looks like an Hummer H3!
Love my H2 with the 6.2L I hope the new EV is an actual FULL SIZE SUV and not a mid size

Your ex loves my H3
Minus all the unnecessary lights, pioneer kits, and the lack of a lift this was a great truck. Thank you for your cervix
Lmao
Air Force Juan lol right. Currently active duty.
I always loved these, I feel like they get way too much hate even with just the i5 in them. They're very capable trucks, and the size is great on trails.
I was so waiting for this truck on this channel
I remember going to New Orleans and seeing one of these at Mardi Gras. I definitely gave it a double or triple look because I have NEVER seen one in person.
I had a 2010 Hummer H3T adventure edition like the one in this video. It's the unicorn of unicorns for the H3T. I still miss it sometimes.
Probably the coolest guy you’ve had on
Great looking truck. Never knew Hummer made a pickup.
finally. i been waiting on this truck to be looked at. really hope the jeep comparo comes to fruition. ive got an i-5 h3t. love it!
Glad you finally got one for the gladiator execution!
Comon GM... make this H3T again! I mean how awesome is this truck 😍 I’d be a customer!
"Trust no one edition'".... awesome

I love love love the H3T Alpha.. Wanted one so bad!!!
I like where this guy took the mods and accessories. Looks great but everything is functional not just flash.
I have the 2010 h3t alpha with the optional backpacks, hummer bed tool box. and snugtop. I love mine as well. funny thing is, mine is the exact same color......
Yes Andre compare the two as I'm hung up on the h3t vs fj hummer alpha for my bucket list trip
Sweet Truck, I have only seen one out in the wild.
Hummer really needs to start building these and the H2 and H3 again. Not that stupid crab walking battery they're working on.
I love hummers. I didn't have an alpha. I had an old h1 that was just broken in so many ways. Then I got an h3 Manual at 17. That got wrecked this year. If this channel keeps reviewing hummers I may sell my Jeep for another
Still got the trans?
@@4evrthugn the trans am? Or the transmission from the hummer?
@@4evrthugn no I do not have the transmission still. That was damaged with the truck.
You’d think being in the video, he would have detailed the engine compartment....2 cans of engine degreasing foam... Really like that tailgate...
I saw one of these two days ago in Longmont!
Nice video and great looking truck.
Sad to say I’m bias...... before you get all huffy and stuff let me say this. I love my 2009 H3T manual. Super for off roading or scooting around town either way it’s got everything I could want.
This is the first midsize truck I've seen that I'd actually be proud to own
Well for me this is still GM so it’s garbage with a bunch of makeup lol 😂 I would buy a Ranger or a Tacoma
Jays have the best trucks!
Honestly a midsize V8 truck would be so fun but these companies dont like it when we have fun, because fun also means lawsuits from us having "too much" fun lmao
