This version of H2 functions as both wagon and truck, which explains the SUT tag. Where the SUV shows an extended roofline and boxed rear wagon bay, however, the SUT differs by lopping off the roof to form an abbreviated truck bed roughly four by three feet in size. Then the back wall of the cabin functions as a door -- it folds down and forms a generous extension of the truck box. With the back wall folded down, the cargo bay extends for six feet to the tailgate. With the wall raised and window up, the cabin is sealed off from the truck bed.

A conventional cabin holds two buckets up front and a three-person bench in back. Add-on equipment for the SUT extends from a roof light bar and dashboard DVD navigation system to XM satellite radio service.

A Hummer is hard too miss -- that bold face and toothy seven-slot grille, a flat roof and square cabin with narrow windows looking like a military bunker. The original H1 Hummer, a civilized version of the military High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, or Hum-Vee, comes from Hummer's parent company, AM General. But General Motors has marketing rights to the Hummer label and at GM's Hummer Division there are junior versions spawned from the H1. Hummer's 2006 line encompasses the H1 Alpha with boosted power, the H2 SUV and H2 SUT (sport-utility truck), plus a new reduced-size SUV tagged as the H3.
