AM General is a contract manufacturer of heavy vehicles and military vehicles. The company is headquartered in South Bend, Illinois, and was responsible for the original Humvee, as well as its civilian variant which we know and love as the Hummer. Did you know that AM General also made things as diverse as transit buses, articulated buses, and even the original Jeep? If we were to delve into AM General’s history, we’d need far more than one mere listing. So let’s take a look at one of their historic products that’s up for sale, this 1972 AM General M49A2. Coming to you from Miami, Florida, this truck bears just 6,447 miles and sports a 7.8L turbo diesel i6 engine too. So, what is it exactly? Let’s find out.
Exterior and Interior
This truck comes in black because, why not? After all, it’s a tough, military-looking thing with its six massive wheels and chunky Goodyear tires. Yes, the rear axle is a dually configuration for better weight bearing capacity. We see that it’s been treated to LED headlamps as a worthwhile upgrade. Then, we check out the capacious cargo bed out back and let us tell you, it will put a pickup truck to shame. Of course it’s quite high off the ground, but that grants you fantastic ground clearance, which, when paired with this vehicle’s four-wheel drive system, makes for an unstoppable overlander. The exhaust pipe exits upwards too, in classic truck fashion. The interior of this 1972 AM General M49A2 features seating for three adults across a raised driver seat and a lower two-person bench seat. We’re told that there’s air conditioning which is excellent for those hot days. Otherwise, it’s a very no-nonsense affair. You’ve got a black three-spoke steering wheel, three pedals, a gear shifter and a transfer case lever. The gauges are clustered within the center console aircraft-style, and their design and font are aircraft-reminiscent too.
Engine
Powering this 1972 AM General M49A2 is a 7.8-liter turbocharged in-line six-cylinder diesel engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. You’ve got four-wheel drive, and power steering too, making it surprisingly easy to drive this beast. A 50-gallon fuel tank is also present for extended driving range.

Few vehicles have the unmistakable presence and military heritage of an authentic HMMWV. This 2007 AM General Humvee M1097R1 Heavy Variant shows just 13,860 miles and was engineered as a 10,000-pound-GVW heavy utility vehicle with a 4,400-pound maximum payload. Its combination of a 6.2L turbocharged diesel V8, 3-speed automatic transmission, full-time four-wheel drive, portal gear axles, and four-wheel independent suspension gives it the serious mechanical hardware expected from a purpose-built military platform. Finished in Desert Tan and retaining its four-door soft-top configuration, this M1097R1 delivers the raw, uncompromised character that continues to make military Humvees such distinctive enthusiast vehicles.
This 1993 AM General Humvee M998 HMMWV Cargo/Troop Carrier comes from the more utilitarian side of the Humvee family, and that is exactly where much of its appeal lies. Showing 18,380 miles, this example is configured as a 1-1/4-ton cargo/troop carrier rather than an armored variant, giving it a lighter, more open personality with a soft-top cab, removable doors, rear passenger seating, and an exposed cargo area with stake-side rails. Finished in White with tan seating, it has a distinctly civilianized presentation while still retaining the unmistakable proportions, military controls, and heavy-duty chassis architecture of the original HMMWV. For an enthusiast who wants the authentic military platform without the added bulk of armor, this M998 offers a different and arguably more versatile take on the Humvee experience.
This 2007 AM General Humvee M1151A1 Armored Armament Carrier is the sort of military vehicle that makes an immediate statement before it even moves. Showing just 7,894 miles, this example combines the heavy-duty Expanded Capacity Vehicle chassis with a 6.5L turbocharged diesel V8, 4-speed automatic transmission, and full-time military-grade four-wheel-drive hardware. The current owner reports that it is equipped with a B7 armor package and a power-driven gun turret, while front and rear air conditioning add a level of usability that is especially welcome in a vehicle designed around protection and mission capability. With its armored four-door body, gunner protection hardware, military green finish, portal geared hubs, and massive 37-inch tires, this M1151A1 delivers an unmistakable blend of battlefield engineering and road-going presence.
