Very uncomfortable. You're basically sitting outboard of the frame rails, so even though the thing is ridiculously wide, the seats are actually quite narrow, and the center console is about 4 feet wide. The diesel is a total turd - the 0-60 time can be measured in minutes. Yes, it's an outstanding, unstoppable vehicle, especially offroad. It can even walk up a wall.  But it's just a rich dude's playtoy, not a daily driver. |

"if you could have one stupid reliable truck, regardless of age, and would have to own it for life, what would it be? Duramax is an excellent engine. The engine is not that part of the Humvee that requires much work. No H1 is the answer to your second question. You seek a pre-2007 non-emissions diesel 4x4. |

But seriously? Diesel: 1st gen ford super duty with the 7.3 diesel People also had decent things to say about the gmt 800 silverado with the duramax. Gas? 1st gen tundra with the V8. |
