Low-mileage military-spec 2005 AM General M1045 Humvee with a 6.5L turbo diesel and LED upgrades seeks a new home.
A genuine piece of military hardware is now up for grabs: a 2005 AM General M1045 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), better known as the Humvee. With just 4,451 actual miles, this battle-tested utility truck offers military-grade toughness with a few modern upgrades for improved visibility.
Finished in matte desert tan, the M1045 was built for rugged service, not showrooms. But this example benefits from added LED light bars, projection headlights, and auxiliary lighting, giving it more illumination than standard issue. A tubular brush guard protects the massive front end, while a Jerry can and whip antenna add to its authentic military profile. The wide stance, heavy-duty bumpers, and trailer hitch leave no doubt about its purpose-built origins.
Inside, the Humvee retains its no-nonsense utilitarian design with black vinyl bucket seats, exposed rivets, and rubber flooring. Creature comforts are minimal, but upgrades include a Rugged intercom system, a CB radio, and switches for the additional lighting. Behind the rear seats, an open cargo bay holds a spare tire and aftermarket speakers.
Power comes from a 6.5-liter turbocharged diesel V8 rated at 190 horsepower, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and 3.08 limited-slip differentials. Weighing over 6,400 pounds, the M1045 still offers serious off-road capability thanks to independent suspension with giant coil springs and power disc brakes at all four corners.
While some systems—including lights, wipers, and A/C—currently need attention, this Humvee remains a formidable go-anywhere vehicle. Perfect for off-road adventures, military collectors, or anyone wanting a street-legal icon of American military history, this 2005 AM General M1045 is ready for its next mission.
