1985-2000 HMMWV, 26th Street and Madison Avenue


Is there any way to tell these model years apart? I've seen photos of the new Oshkosh M-ATV which will be replacing the venerable HMMWV, being designed to deflect explosions from roadside bombs. It's an extraordinary vehicle, and supposedly much safer for troops, but certainly doesn't have the terrific Tom Clancy/Jerry Bruckhimer action star look of the HumVee, along with a hint of the DNA of Willys Jeeps. I'm sure we'll be seeing these in service for decades, though.
