The H2's final frame assembly is made up of 3 sections: The front uses a modified GM 2500-Series utility frame, the mid-section is all new and is completely boxed, and the rear section uses a modified GM 1500-Series frame which is upgraded for the 8,600 pounds (3,900 kg) gross vehicle weight.
and the H3 was based on the Colorado/Canyon platform which is why you could only get the inline 5 (this was before the 5.3 V8 Alpha model came out) instead of the inline 6 from the now RIP Trailblazer/Envoy?
The Hummer H3 is a vehicle from General Motors' Hummer division introduced in 2006 and based on the GMT355 that underpins the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon compact pickup trucks.

We could both be right, after all the Suburban
does use the 2500 utility frame.
