General Dynamics Land Systems makes a majority of the tank. However, the different subsystems are contracted out to smaller companies.

From here
In 1999, General Motors acquired the HUMMER brand worldwide and rebadged the current vehicle H1. In 2002, AM General began assembling the HUMMER H2 for GM in its new factory in Mishawaka, Ind.

Stewart & Stevenson makes the FMTV trucks. I believe Osh Kosh also has a production contract for some of them, or they are in inventory.

Army vehicles don't translate well into Impalas and Cavaliers.

That said, I'd rather have a Silverado then a Titan/Tundra.
