I've been researching production numbers for H3 and H3T Alpha's with Offroad package recently. I came across the following website and figured I'd pass it on for anyone interested...
It does have production numbers for the options on my 2008 H3. Total Alphas 6,878. Total Adventure / Offroad packages in 2008 (based on Lockers, NR6 Transfer Case, etc) is 5,522. That would be for all H3 models including the I5's. Based on percentage of Alpha's of approx 20% total production, I'm figuring for 2008 there are approximately 1,000 +/- with that combination. Educated guess for H3 Alpha/Offroad based on the dwindling production numbers '09 - '10 would be maybe 2,000 - 2,500 total production 2008 to 2010. Unfortunately, 2009 and 2010 reports that I ran are able to pull the options but not the numbers. From what I've read online, it sounds like GM just doesn't have numbers for those years. I'm sure they had a lot bigger fish to fry trying to unwind/offload Hummer and avoid bankruptcy. Extremely fortunate for all Hummer owners the deal with the Chinese company fell through!! I would not have been able to bring myself to buy a Chinese Hummer.
Beyond the numbers, is the capabilities for H3/H3T vs. other production off road vehicles. Most people think of the H3 as a mall crawler and are amazed that it excels off road especially with the Adventure or Alpha/Offroad packages! Those of us H3/H3T owners that use them for what it was meant for know its capabilities! For many of the trails I take mine on, the H3 barely fits (has it's share of desert pin striping!) so anything wider would limit a lot of the trails I go on. For the most part, I use a company truck during the week... so being able to fit it in the garage it also key! But also wanted 35's and full UCP to get the best balance of clearance / protection and still be able to fit it in the garage. This was a perfect fit for me all around... I started with a 2006 Adventure and beat it up for a couple years looking for the right deal on an Alpha/Offroad.
