Jeep Gladiator VS Hummer H3T- Battle Of The SUV Trucks
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 гру 2024
- With the release of the brand new Jeep Gladiator, it brings back the memories of the Hummer H3T. Many haven't even heard of this truck, but it existed. It was a truck version of the Hummer H3, like the Jeep Gladiator is a truck version of the Wrangler. Being released 10 years later, let's see if the Gladiator is 10 years better!
I love this review! Excellent job! Just a note, the H3T comes in an Alpha trim with the 5.3L and the standard trim with a 3.7L inline 5 cylinder that produced 291HP and 277 Tq. Personally, I would rather have an H3t Alpha than a Gladiator, you can take the doors off and open the sunroof to get that topless Jeep feel. You can add suspension upgrades, the OEM Rancho lift kit and other aftermarket parts to the hummer to beat out the Gladiator as well. One of the key points, I didn't see in the video is the base gladiator is based on the JLU sport, so yes clearance and fording capability, but no locking diffs. To get stock locking diffs, you have to get the Gladiator Rubicon trim which is in the $50-70K range, so to get Sahara comfort, with Rubicon capability for under $30k is a steal. Lastly, you can use ZR2 parts in H3t's, Jeep's biggest draw is parts availability, but you can give an h3t a 2019 refresh by swapping out ZR2 components. Again, great video, keep up the good work!
What zr2 parts can you use on a h3t? The new Colorado shares nothing with the h3t. The h3t also doesn’t have the best suspension set up either

There was also a video where someone put the multimatic shocks from a colorado ZR2 on an H3T
@@nickm6670 interesting. The h3t has a torsion bar front independent suspension which is what would keep me from buying it for an off road vehicle
You know I hear that argument a lot, but mostly from folks who will never take their $50k+ offroader on any trail technical enough for it to matter. Not directing that comment at you personally, since we don't know eachother. I am just saying the internet has a bunch of diehards who live by these rules that were set forth by people who have money or sponsorships for the parts they swear by. Advancements in vehicle technology have mitigated a number of risks that long established "4x4 laws" caution against.
For example you can't take IFS offroad, the LandCruiser and LX 470 and 570 have torsion IFS as do the 4 Runner and Tacoma. Those all seem pretty capable offroad. The New TRX, the Raptor etc all have IFS, granted they are desert runners, not rock crawlers. Without buying something in the HD range your options are a wrangler or a gladiator from the factory. I believe the wranglers and the gladiators still have Dana 44's or smaller underneath. For the same price you would pay to upgrade your axles to elite rock crawler status, you can SAS an IFS rig with a bigger motor. I would personally prefer a LS 5.3 based midsized truck like the h3 Alpha or the H3T Alpha cause they are in the $18-24k range which means I can afford to take them to Moab and trailer the pieces back. I want to be able to lift it and add the offroad goodies, but still be able to keep up with traffic on the highways.
As of now, my best options are K5 blazer or Jimmy, a FS Bronco, the H3T/H3 Alpha, the new 392 Wrangler and hopefully 392 Gladiator. I doubt I can afford the new jeeps for anything other than a daily driver/ family rig. Though, I am thinking my next project will be getting a fiberglass humvee H1 body and dropping it onto a PW chassis like the Suburban Gorrilla.
H3T Hands Down. Also, the H3T has the optional V8, which will probably never happen in a stock gladiator. I bought an H3T while waiting for the Gladiator to come out. And now I dont need a Gladiator. H3T is everything and more
I have 1 of 48 h3t alphas made in 2010. I love it and it has all the options. gave up my 65 shelby for it with no regrets
H3T Alpha all day
50's will fit on the H3T with no mods giving it ample clearance. My base H3T has trailered my 68 GTO many times with no issues. The base 5 cyl is underrated. H3T is all around great 4X4.
The Alpha H3Ts are about $27-$31k. The 5 cyl models are $25k-ish.
The Galdiator's transmission is probably its biggest advantage. The H3 only has a 4 speed auto.
Not really, h3 has 5 speed manual too
@@marwanmohseen You're right, but they're extremely rare.
I need both
Really like you knowledge buddy!! I traded my Jeep wrangler for a very hard to find H3T Alpha with lockers on both diff.. Best decision ever made!👍🏽 Good comparison V8 power baby!
The H3T Alpha trims are pretty rare to see on the road. There weren't many made with that trim. GM also made an H3T with a 5 speed manual transmission. Only 99 of those were ever made and my neighbor happens to own one of them in black. He made a video about it on UA-cam.
Dang you may be young but this ain't a half bad review. Keep it up!
Coin flip for me. Both look and perform great.
The Frame on the H3 won’t Break or bend like the Gladiator. Tow all the trailers you want off road and you won’t bend the frame. No death wobble.
Hands down the h3t and fun fact 2010 alphas are really rare… followed by the the manual version…. And hate to break it to you but mine had 1,200 pounds of cement in the back of it and handled it like it was nothing so hummer I’m my book
My H3T license plate frame says : Jeep Gladiator on Steroids
Good job kid 👍
I bought a 2010 Hummer H3T Alpha with a V-8. Way more truck than a gladiator at half the price.
H3T All day
Doing an s.a.s swap on my H3 Duramax
But the jeep scrambler came out first
You wrong about towing Gladiator can tow 7,0000
That’s a lot of zeros bud
HT3 is better
Jeep Gladiator with max tow prep package tows 7650 lbs with a 3.6 v6. HT3 alpha v8 is rare 10 years old and some parts are no longer available.
That's completely wrong some of the parts are interchangeable with Colorado ZR2 and if you have one that has the 5.3 like me parts are extremely easy to come by
H3t is way more beautiful than that ugly thing that jeep build.🤷🏻♂️
