Unrivalled off-road ability and iconic styling mark arrival of HUMMER's first truck at Mannai Trading

Doha, Qatar - 15 January 2009 - Mannai Trading's showroom today welcomed the first ever true pick-up truck from HUMMER, the H3-T 2009.  Available in Qatar exclusively at Mannai, the new H3-T represents the HUMMER tradition of innovation, luxury and purposeful design for the first time as a pick-up truck.

Immediately recognizable by its wide, square appearance and aggressive, unmistakable styling, the 2009 H3-T continues HUMMER's tradition of exceptional off-road capability and premium interiors that are as functional as they are comfortable.

Smaller and lighter that its HUMMER siblings, General Motors' newest design concept is more agile, manufactured with a heavy-duty construction to support the H3-T's extreme off-road ability while providing a smooth city ride. HUMMER's legendary off-road reputation and Best-In-Class capability shine in the H3-T alongside first-class protective elements such as six cab air bags. The new five-passenger cab truck features a 8.6 cm longer wheelbase than its predecessor. The resulting 3.41 m wheelbase allows for a roomy 1.5 m separate bed with more than five feet of usable bed space. Powered by a 3700 CC Vortec five-cylinder engine also, H3 T V8 with 5.3 V8 and a 5,900- lb (2,676 Kg) towing capacity, this four-speed automatic pushes 255 horsepower and touts a towing capacity of 2,676 kg. The H3-T also packs front- and rear-locking differentials, unique for a mid-size pick-up truck, and 32-inch tires. A four-wheel drive heavy-duty suspension and anti-lock brakes complete the signature HUMMER performance package.

The 2009 H3-T features a standard bedrail system and four in-bed storage compartments with numerous HUMMER accessories available including lockable and removable bed-mounted storage boxes and customizable interior options such as sun roof and leather seats.  

Speaking of the H3-T's arrival at Mannai, Hummer Sales Manager, Fawzi Al Abtah, said, "Mannai is thrilled to have the H3-T exclusively in our showroom. This HUMMER is completely unique, as it is the first true HUMMER pick-up truck. The H3-T is clearly identifiable as a HUMMER; there is no mistaking that distinctive look, but it stands apart as more quick and lively than other HUMMER models, The new length allows the new H3T to put a real five-foot long pickup bed onto the H3T chassis allowing room for dirt bikes and ATV's. HUMMER has managed to wrap its iconic style and legendary off-road ability into one truck with the H3-T."
