Let’s talk about the difference between the Hummer H1 and the AM General Humvee. Since the Humvee was primarily intended for military use, AM General did not initially have plans to create a more comfortable and modest variant of the truck. Thanks to Austrian and American celebrity Arnold Schwarzenegger, AM General was convinced to produce the first civilian version of the Humvee, the Hummer H1, in 1992. However, both Hummer and Humvee models were built separately and we often see consumers mistake the two vehicles for one since ex-military Humvees can be purchased by civilians as well. This example is reported to be an ex-military 2009 AM General Humvee that is currently located in California. It is great for rugged off-roading while hauling your everything and being one with your surroundings.

Exterior and Interior

The Tan exterior paint of this 2009 AM General Humvee is a common color for vehicles used around desert areas. It helped them camouflage into the sand so that the enemy would have a hard time spotting them. This Humvee is also fitted with a body-colored snorkel which not only adds to its looks but also allows for deeper wading depths without risk of engine damage. As expected from a Humvee, there isn't much in the way of creature comforts inside of it. The body-colored interior has two cloth seats and a lot of free space in between, which was originally used to keep military gear. The gauges are located to the right of the steering wheel, and the switchgear for the lights and starting gear are to the left.

Engine

This 2009 AM General Humvee is motivated by a 6.5L naturally aspirated V8 diesel engine that utilizes a four-speed automatic transmission to send power to its four-wheel drive system. This massive truck comes to a stop thanks to the hydraulic power-assisted brakes.
