The Hummer is the civilian counterpart to the rugged military HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle - pronounced HumVee). These vehicles are like no other in the world. They're not quite trucks, they're not SUVs... they're just Hummers. But in 1991 the "Humvee" as nicknamed by soldiers was finally allowed to be sold to the public allowing non military personnel to experience the ultimate off road vehicle available out there.

Hummers are capable of crossing streams up to two-and-a-half-feet deep and scaling ledges up to 18 inches high. So, you can see that most people will not NEED this kind of power - but, most will WANT this kinda power. Just think of how envious your friends will be.

The Turbo Diesel will produce enough power to attain cruising speed nicely. The speedometer's top speed says 100 mph but I think 85 is more realistic....this isn't a sportscar by any stretch of the imagination.

Power comes from a turbodiesel V8 engine that produces 195 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. All Hummers feature 16 inches of ground clearance and come standard with an automatic transmission, full-time 4WD, power windows and door locks, air conditioning, an AM/FM stereo cassette, and an auxiliary fuel tank. Options include a trailer-towing system, cruise control, a heated windshield, a Monsoon sound system with CD player, and a unique Central Tire Inflation System. A 12,000 lb.-capacity winch, run-flat tires and a brush guard are also available options.
