9. 1983 Humvee
The “High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle,” AKA Humvee, is one of the meanest trucks of all time. Built by AM General specifically for military use, the original Humvee -launched in 1983- would go on to supplant the CJ Jeeps and other vehicles as the military’s vehicle of choice. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Style-wise, the Humvee is virtually unchanged from the 1983 model. A civilian-variant of the Humvee, the Hummer, would eventually be sold to the public. The military has occasionally auctioned off Humvees over the years as well.
