Yawn... Overpriced Colorado--- so much wrong with that statement, it is laughable.
You don't have to like it, but don't lie to try to improve your opinion.
H3T and Colorado/Canyon share only 10% of their parts which are mostly drivetrain related (engine and trans).
The H3T has a stretched version of the H3 frame and suspension. As you may or may not know the frame of the H3 is very different from the Canyon/Colorado. GM took the Canyon/Colorado frame, added two extra crossmembers, bracing for the body mounts and boxed the front and rear.
Stronger front Alum. diff. (colorado uses a clamshell in the front)
Totaly different front diff (cast iron on the 08-10 Alphas and 09-10 I5Adventures)
Stronger axles
Stronger half shafts
Stronger tie rods
Different brakes
Different rack and pinion
Different shocks and torsion bars
Different Rear Hotchkis spring packs
Stronger transfer-case
Front/Rear disc
Upgraded brake systems
This is just some of the differences.
Hate if all you want that is the fun of owning a Hummer- hearing everyone bitch and moan about how much they suck, and how much they hate them-- but get the facts straight..
Saying a Hummer H3/ H3T is the same as a Chevy Colorado is like saying a Lancer is the same as a Lancer Evolution.
The G8 is/was built off the zeta platform-- does that mean the Camaro is just a G8?
