You’ll almost certainly need to have your Humvee shipped to you, especially if you buy it from an auction site. According to VeriTread, the official transport company for GovPlanet, it can cost as little as $1,000 or as much as $5,000, with an average cost between $2,000 and $3,000. The final price is based on several factors, such as shipping preference, distance, location, or time of year.
Once your HMMWV is sitting in your driveway, you still need to make it road-worthy. Standard factory fresh civilian vehicles come with things like high and low beam headlights, red tail lights with brake lights, front and rear turn signals, mirrors, seat belts. … some of which may or may not be included on your military Humvee. After all, troops didn’t need to signal a lane change in the middle of a combat zone. You also need to ensure it meets your state’s vehicle inspection and exhaust requirements as well.
We haven’t even delved into the specific types of Humvees available. For instance, some only have three speeds and can only safely cruise between 45 and 50 mph. Pushing them to exceed that rate can result in too much stress on the engine. It’s also incredibly loud. Additionally, many older models don’t have a park mode per say, forcing you to put the vehicle in neutral and utilize a handbrake.
We’ll repeat the mantra that you must check with your local DMV to find out precisely what is required to own and drive a military Humvee in your state. Because if you’re still interested in driving around like Arnie, you’ll want to have a piggy bank like his too.
