I worked at a place that had an H3 as a company vehicle. It was horrible to drive. Zero visibility. Slow. Handled like a canoe in a lake full of jelly.
They were also all built during a period in GM’s history that was not know for building reliable, durable cars. There are so few of them left for a reason.
That was the weirdest part I realized when I owned a GMC Canyon, that not only do they share a chassis with Chevy Colorado’s but also with the Hummer H3 (pre-2015 refresh, the 355 model, hence my username)
and the Isuzu I-280/290/350/370 trucks
Colorado/Canyon/Isuzu were literally the same truck with a different badge, while the H3 was largely based on the same chassis but did have a slightly different frame.
The H2 was also a mashup/modified frame. It used the GMT800 half ton center and rear, with a 3/4 ton front section. But it uses 3/4 ton hubs all around since it's got 8 lug wheels.
it would have increased the price. but an OG Duramax diesel would have been a pretty good option i'm surprised they didn't even try.
just like not stuffing the atlas i6 in anything but the GMT360
It’s a solid platform. A lot of it was kind of dated and some of the designs were questionable but I think the philosophy was “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”
Then the H3 got all the best off-road equipment offered. 5.3 v8, higher diff ratios, e-lockers. Some even had full time 4wd.
I think it looks better than the H2 with the li'l pickup bed hanging out. But I liked the form factor of the Pontiac Aztek, so at least I know my opinion isn't popular.
