AM General – other vehicles: the collective page of the HMMWV/Humvee and its variants, V8 engines throughout at 6,179 to 6,500 cm³, unladen weights 2,259 to 3,160 kg

This page gathers AM General vehicles the register could not assign to a named range: the military HMMWV in variants such as the M998, M1025, M1151A1 and M1152A1, and the civilian Hummer H1 version. AM General, based in South Bend, Indiana, developed the HMMWV from the early 1980s as a successor to the Jeep off-roader for the US armed forces and has supplied the vehicle since 1985; from 1992 AM General also sold a civilian version as the Hummer H1. The company traces back to Kaiser Jeep's General Products Division, which from the 1950s and 1960s built US military vehicles such as the M35 truck series and the M151 light utility vehicle, before AM General became an independent company in 1970.

The register lists here 8 versions, V8 throughout, of 6,179 to 6,500 cm³, unladen weights from 2,259 to 3,160 kg, gross weights from 3,268 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 4,572 to 4,830 mm and widths from 2,160 to 2,184 mm.

The HMMWV replaced several light off-road vehicle types in US military service at once and was exported in large numbers to many countries; the civilian Hummer line carried the rugged look and extreme off-road ability into the civilian SUV market. The HMMWV was designed to replace several earlier military vehicle types of differing purpose, from reconnaissance to casualty evacuation, within a single versatile chassis.

Buying used, these vehicles need checking for the condition of the axles, portal gear hubs and central tyre-inflation system, rust on the mixed aluminium-steel body, and the mileage on the V8 diesel; parts are generally well available through the US military-vehicle and youngtimer markets.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
