Why? Hummers were unreliable money pits.

I wouldn’t buy a new GM anything.

And the military version cost as much as five military Jeeps. While still not being armoured.

The one plus it had over the jeep was not rolling easily when cornering at high speed...which isn’t something that comes up enough to be worth the difference in cost, IMHO.

A bunch of men could (in an emergency) physically lift a Jeep up over a stone wall. Wasn’t happening with the HMMWV.
