Based on the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle known as the Humvee, the
Hummer H1 has proved to be a very popular vehicle. The Hummer H1 was first introduced and made available to the general population in 1992. The Hummer H1 was a direct result of pictures from Operation Desert Storm, which became popular when civilians saw how great a vehicle this could be for every day use.
The Hummer H1 has three common body types, which are the soft-top convertible, the four door hard top, pick up truck, and the station wagon body variant. There are also a couple less common body types, which are a two-door pickup truck as well as a four-door slantback. There are currently two body types available for the H1, which are the soft-top convertible and the station wagon variant. The Hummer H1 does share some of its driveline parts with the original Humvee such as the brakes, differentials, frame, and the body panels. The two vehicles go through the same assembly lines and then they are separated midway through the production half of which will become civilian and the other half will be produced for military use.
Hummer currently offers five different engines and three automatic transmissions for the H1. You'll find the most common engines are a three speed 6.2 liter V8 Diesel, a four speed 6.5 liter V8 Diesel, a four-speed 5.7-liter Vortec gasoline V8, a four speed 6.5 liter turbo V8 diesel, a five speed 6.6 liter Duramax turbo diesel, and a 6.6 liter Duramax turbo diesel featuring a six speed transmission. The wide variety of engines allow consumers to pick the engine type that will benefit them and their needs the most.
The Hummer H1 is a very stable vehicle that can safely drive through 30 inches of water, climb a 22 inch step, and boast a stock ground clearance of 16 inches. The driver can also increase or decrease the tire pressure with the Central Tire Inflation System. Of course, all of these unusual features come with a steep price tag of up to $141,000 which does not include tax, title, options, or even accessories.
