This unique drivetrain goes hand-in-hand with independent suspension and 37-inch tires which allows the Humvee to travel at 70 miles per hour. Fun visual: think of a Humvee and a cheetah side by side going a top speed of 70 mph. That gives us a new appreciation for the power of these vehicles. Also, it gives it the capability to climb slopes of 60 percent! Some pretty cool Humvee facts right there.
