They really aren't, they got a government contract to make the hum v for the military at around $200,000 a pop, they mechanically wise are no different than an f350 or Chevys 3500 series with light armor to help protect troops, now the gunners we see on the street aren't special at all, proof being that they are now out of business.

Second Opinion:

The military Hummer, HMMWV or Hum Vee is nothing like a F350 or Chevy 3500. They also did not cost $200,000. The U.S. Army contract was for 55,000 vehicle at 1.2 billion dollars or $21,818 per vehicle. It has 16" of ground clearance yet is only 72" high and 7" wide. It will climb a 60 % slope and 40% side slope. It will Ford 60" of water. It has torque biasing differentials allowing it to move with only one wheel having traction. Tire pressure is adjustable from the drivers seat while on the move with run flat tires. The body is made of aluminum. 4 wheel disc brakes mounted inboard against the sides of the differential upward between the frame rails. There is lots more that is too numerous to mention including an outstanding diesel engine. No, the Hummer or Hum Vee as the military calls it is way more than any normal Ford or Chevy truck.
