Anyone who's driven an H3 knew a V-8 was much needed. A 295-bhp 5.3-liter small-block V-8 has found its way into the engine bay of an H3 whose front end has had numerous adjustments. They include a modified frame, a new steering system and beefed-up drivetrain components. The front and rear differential housings are now of rugged cast iron, not aluminum. This purity of off-road worthiness is what gives this H3 the Hummer's Alpha badge, the second model so designated.
With a 33-percent increase in towing ability, now at a maximum of 6000 lb., the H3 might find favor with consumers who previously had little love for the baby Hummer . To sweeten the deal are numerous new standard features, including stability control, ABS and side-curtain airbags.

For those who need bling to go with off-road ability, the H3 Alpha comes standard with the luxury package that has more chrome than is necessary. However, for those who want even more, an X package is available that even includes a chrome gas cap. For this premium H3, expect to pay close to $40,000.
