Hummer Hummer H3
The H3 is the last gas-powered model from the original Hummer brand, packaging its signature off-road capability in a smaller size based on the Chevy Colorado. While most used an inline-five engine, it's the V8-powered Alpha model that's most desirable to collectors.
Find one with Spotter →Hummer Hummer H3 sold for a median of $10,250 over the last 12 months, based on 37 auction sales; the middle 50% sold between $7,150 and $19,250. 3,330 currently for sale.
The Hummer H3 arrived for the 2006 model year as a smaller, more accessible version of the brand's military-inspired trucks. Built on the same platform as the Chevrolet Colorado, it offered genuine off-road ability in a package that could actually fit in a normal garage. Most H3s were equipped with an inline-5 engine, which grew from 3.5L to 3.7L, but the desirable Alpha model, introduced in 2008, packed a 5.3L V8.
As the last internal-combustion Hummer produced before the brand's 2010 shutdown, the H3 holds a special appeal for collectors. Enthusiasts seek out the V8-powered Alpha for its significant power increase and the rare H3T crew cab pickup for its unique body style. Models equipped with the Adventure package are also prized for their 4:1 transfer case and locking front and rear differentials, which make them formidable trail machines.
The market for the H3 is well-established, with an average sales price of $19,389 across 67 recent sales. While high-mileage examples can be found for a few thousand dollars, the best examples command strong prices. Low-mileage, well-documented Alpha and H3T models consistently sell for over $30,000 and can approach $50,000, showing a dedicated following for these final-era Hummers.
Buying Tips
- Check the frame and underbody components for significant rust, especially in vehicles from northern climates.
- On 3.5L and 3.7L I5 engines, check for signs of a failing cylinder head or a faulty throttle body, which can cause rough running.
- Test all interior electronics. The Body Control Module (BCM) is a known failure point that can cause a variety of electrical problems.
- Ensure the air conditioning blows cold, as A/C compressor and condenser failures are common.
- Prioritize models with the Adventure Package, identifiable by its front and rear locking differential buttons, for maximum off-road capability.
Prices for the Hummer H3 range from $2,700 for high-mileage projects to $48,000 for top-spec Alpha variants.
