Remember when the Hummer H1 was the biggest, most obnoxious passenger vehicle on the road? (pixelfed.crimedad.work)

This one is parked between two new Blazers, which are as wide and have distinctly taller hoods.

A HUMVEE and an H1 are the same size, right? That's my main point, that this vehicle which was once considered totally oversized for public roads now looks normal or small compared to today's SUVs.

Good question, unfortunately I do have a tape measure but not either vehicle lol, I'll do some digging and see if I can find the dimensions.

Humvee:

Length:
180in

Wheelbase:
130in

Width:
85in

Height:
72in, reducible to 54in

Hummer:

Wheelbase:
130in

Length:
184.5 in

Width:
86.5 in

Height:
77 in
2004–06: 79 in
Pre-2003 Wagon: 75 in

Looks like Humvees are smaller by a little with the same wheelbase.

Maybe they reduced the height on that police HUMVEE. It's not like we have a lot of wilderness around here through which to drive it.

Seems logical enough to me, it's a show piece really anyway. Can't imagine any cop is driving that on the daily lol.

It sure looks a lot less comfortable than their cruisers.
