Vehicle Description
This 2005 AM General M1043A2 is a bit different from a more
standard ex-military Humvee. You still have the awesome go-anywhere
prowess of the awesome 4x4 chassis. But this also is a full-bodied
vehicle with some features you don't find in others, like air
conditioning.
We don't have to tell you this is a military-grade vehicle. The
sand warfare paint immediately announces this one as a hero's
machine. But if you look at Humvees, then you know an M1043A2 is a
bit different. Designated as an armament carrier, this has a full
body. Heck, you probably were more likely to see these with a gun
turret on top...and that would be a terrific way to make traffic
part in front of you! But really, these were meant for serious
off-road work. That's why you have heavy-duty bumpers w/tow hooks,
a full-size spare on a swing-away mount, and double beadlock
wheels.
The interior keeps the utilitarian feeling of a military Hummer,
but there are also some creature comforts you don't get on many of
the others. For example, not only does the full body give you
better weather protection, but also the rear hatch gives you a
secure place to store cargo. And because this is fully enclosed, it
also gets to take advantage of cold-blowing air conditioning. The
full carpeting package is another great feature that makes this one
desirably distinct. Of course, the all-weather canvas on the four
individual bucket seats, toggle switches, and grippy steel steering
wheel are all reminders this is a true military Humvee.
Tilt the hood forward to get an excellent view of the 6.5-liter
diesel motor. Because this is a variation of the motor that GM used
for decades, parts availability will continue to be quite good
without having to set foot on a military base. It makes this rugged
Hummer a strong runner. And that's exactly what you want in a
go-anywhere 4x4. The big torque of the diesel lets you climb
mountains, and a reinforced fully independent suspension that has
been built to drive over any obstacle. And if your nature trails
include water, then we bet you also spotted the tall air intake and
exhaust stack. Plus, with a four-speed automatic transmission,
power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes, it's easier than
you may think to enjoy one of the toughest pieces of military
hardware available.
This is not a vehicle for the average commuter. But it's perfect
for everything from promoting your business to forging a new trail
to the hunting camp. We know your mind is racing with all the ways
to enjoy this Humvee, but remember, the only way you get to do all
of that is if you call today!
