Default Trackday transportation (what do you think?)

I'm waiting for the official dimensions to see if it fits in my garage. That's pretty much the only decision I have to make as I like the truck. According to my preliminary estimation it's going to be 205-210" long. I also hope it's available with manual like the regular H3.

It's probably the same 210" long king cab.

I saw the prototype for the HT a couple years ago. I was told it was going into production, I just didn't think it would take so long..

The H3T shown at 2002 (or so) LA auto show was just a concept. It looked too good to be an American vehicle (especially the interior). This one is completely different and I do understand it's built on an extended Colorado platform, but at least it looks like designed in the 21st Century and not mid-eighties unlike other pickups offered here.

The second vehicle is also going in production in 2008 as 2009 model.

For just gas alone go with the green machine... They are huge in popularity in Australia everyone drives similar vehicles... Not really big enough for road racers really but the H3 will suck on fuel and sucks to park... Go green and stay mean.

Yup, buy yourself a well taken care of (they exist) used F150 and be done with it. Plenty cheap, good gas mileage, large enough for two sportbikes and all your gear.

Love mine!

Sorry I'm not a fan of hummers, I work on the quite a bit at the dealership, outside looks ok, but the interiors are terrible!

H2's interior is basically a "boy's" version of equally childish Mini's "little princess" interior, but H3's interior is OK. Yeah, a ute would be a better option. The primary reason I'm considering those vehicles is size. F150 wouldn't fit into my garage with bikes and I insist on keeping everything inside.

That Hummer is about the same dimensions as an F150.

I keep the bikes and the wifes car in the garage. The truck can stand the weather...
