Models

    XLC2: 2 Passenger Hard Top
    This is what used to be called the 2 Passenger Hard Top Extended Cab. It is a 2 door pickup style body with cover plates where the rear door would be. Sliding rear window.

    HMCO: 4 Passenger Open Top
    This is what used to be called the 4 Passenger Open Top with Hard Doors. This is a four door model with seats for 4 people. It has a removable top and rear plastic window. It has hard doors with operable glass windows. It has a small pickup like bed covered by a tonneau cover. There are roll bars behind the front seats (B pillar) and rear seats (C pillar).

    HMC4: 4 Passenger Hard Top
    Looks like the open top but has a hard top with a glass rear window that slides.

    HMCS: 4 Passenger Wagon
    Instead of an exposed pickup like bed, the wagon back extends all the way to the rear bumper with two side by side doors. It has (opening) glass windows on the sides. The interior is open with a removable load barrier just behind the two rear seats.

Interior

    The "deluxe" interior comes in gray or tan (gray only in XLC2). Seats can be gray or tan cloth or black leatherette. The front seats are adjustable up/down, forward/back, tilt forward/back, and reclining seat back. The rears are fixed. Power door locks and windows are standard.

    The "fleet" interior is available for XLC2 only - gray interior, crank windows, and no radio.

    The standard radio is a Delco Sound System with AM/FM/Cassette. The Monsoon Sound system with CD changer is available for HMC4 and HMCS models.

Powertrain/Suspension

    The 6.5L non-turbo is standard (NA in CA). The improved 6.5L turbo diesel is available as an option (required in CA). The 4L80E 4-speed automatic is still the only transmission option.

    The differentials still come with the Torsen torque biasing units. A Detroit Locker is available as an option for the rear for a true locked performance (fleet only). Turbo diesels have the 2.56 ratio while the N.A. diesels retain the 2.73. The Goodyear Wrangler MT 37x12.50/16.5 tires are standard.

    The 10,300 lbs GVW is standard. For fleet use, a 10,800 lbs and 12,100 lbs GVW packages are available. The 10,800 is just spring upgrade. The 12,100 changes the springs, shocks, brakes, halfshafts, and some reinforced suspension members.

Optional Equipment

    B02: Heated Windshield
    Electric heating elements embedded in the front windshield like a rear defroster.

    A04: Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS)
    The HUMMER's unique tire pressure control system that allows tire pressure to be adjusted while moving. The system consists of an underhood air compressor and various valves, tubes, and gauges. This option is factory only (very difficult to add later). Requires A89 Beadlock or A83/B83 Runflat Tire System w/Beadlock.

    A09: Cruise Control

    A30: 12,000 lbs Winch
    Adds a 12,000 lbs Warn Mil-12000 electric winch to the front for vehicle recovery.

    A32: Driveline Protection
    Consists of 5 shields to protect the underbody from damage off-road. 3 tubular steel cages protect the front and rear differentials and brakes and the engine and transmission. 2 plates protect the fuel tank and transfer case.

    A33: Brush Guard
    The brush guard can be added to a vehicle with or without a winch and is intended for protection from brush only.

    A59: Body Colored Wheels
    The wheels are painted the same color as the body instead of gloss black.

    A73: Trailer Towing Unit
    Adds a Class 3 hitch and electrical connections.

    B74: Rear Defrost
    XLC2 (2 door) and HMC4 (4 door hard top) only. Adds an electric defroster for the rear window.

    B75: Rocker Panel Protection
    Adds aluminum plates to protect the body under the seats from the front to rear wheels. It also protects the sides from the doors down. The plates extend to the drivetrain tunnel but do not extend into it (see A32 Driveline Protection).

    A83: Runflat Tire System w/Beadlock
    Adds a spacer inside the wheels that perform two functions. It holds the inner bead to the rim flange to prevent sudden tire deflation from side loads off-roading, esp. under reduced tire pressure (see A04 CTIS), i.e. includes A89 Beadlock. The second function is to support the tire after losing air pressure, allowing the vehicle to be driven slowly (30 mph) for a short distance (20 miles) without any air pressure. Runflat operation may damage the rim, tire, and runflat spacer. A83 is for vehicles without the 1GA package (see B83).

    B83: Runflat Tire System w/Beadlock (for 1GA)
    Same system as A83 Runflat tire system. This option is for vehicles that have the 1GA package that contains A89 Beadlock. The runflat spacer is substituted for the beadlock spacer (credit given for A89).

    A89: Beadlock
    Provides the beadlock function described in A83 Runflat Tire System without the runflat capability. Included in A83/B83 Runflat Tire System w/Beadlock

    A93: Highway Touring Tires
    Replaces the Goodyear Wrangler MT radials with Goodyear Wrangler GS-A radial tires. The GS-A has a less off-road tire intended for better highway performance.

    A96: Power Mirrors
    Driver and passenger mirrors electrically adjustable for tilt and pan from a control on the dash.

Individual Fleet Options

    A26: 10,800 lbs GVW
    Replaces the springs with stiffer units to increase the GVW from 10,300 to 10,800 lbs for extended high GVW operation (fleet). XLC2 (2 door) and HMC4 (4 door hard top) only.

    B26: 12,100 lbs GVW
    Upgrades the suspension and some frame components from a 10,300 lbs to 12,100 lbs GVW for fleet use. XLC2 (2 door) and HMC4 (4 door hard top) only. Requires the turbo diesel engine.

    A35: Fuel Tank Shield
    Adds the fuel tank shield from A32 Driveline Protection.

    A58: Detroit Locker Differential
    Replaces the rear Torsen unit with a Detroit Locker for a true locked rear axle. The Detroit is an automatic locker so some artifacts may be felt on the street.

    X20: Delete Tailgate, Side Covers (XLC2)

    X37: Delete Auxiliary Fuel Tank

    X42: Delete Standard Radio/Power Windows (XLC2 w/ Std. Interior)
