I don't have the specs in front of me, it's been a couple years since I had to ship one over to Iraq.... I don't recall it weighing too much. The weight was never a problem. The width is horrid... I knocked a couple mirrors off when trying to get down narrow paths.... The fact that it has a 6.2 L V8 Turbo diesel that has all sorts of governers on it is the problem. When the rev limiter and speed gov are removed, a properly maintained HMMWV, other than it's length, are awesome. Stock options it can easily out do any Jeep with "STOCK OPTIONS". Consider taking something like BigJim's Ford Ranger, go back to the factory and max it out with options. It will really blow your socks off if you are used to the 2WD version with "cute" tires.... It still won't touch a Jeep maxed out or many of the other ORV's. BUT, if you take it and put a 351 in with all sorts of snazzy stuff, you will start making it a wild rig, but it's still not the stock version. Back to basics and stock options, That would be something to start looking at all of the runners for asking what the "Best 4x4 ever built" question....
