I think the major disconnect here is the fact that Humvees look cool, but they are meant for the military. The military formations run at 40 mph. They are not looking for high speed unless you get one of the rare vehicles with a Rod Hall suspension and drivetrain. Even then, pulling a horse...

Agree and indicated in my prior post my friend.

Sorry Mog, BUT ultimate speed is limited by ultimate engine RPM and gearing. Yes, you need some horsepower to push, BUT in our vehicles it has to do with gearing not HP.

Change your diff gears to 2.56. I think pulling a thousand pound house in a thousand pound trailer that will act like a sail would make 70MPH unrealistic in a HMMWV with stock tires. Swapping to 40” might help.

Speed and horsepower are apples and oranges. Speed is about distance over time. Horsepower is about Force over time. Horsepower will allow faster acceleration but gearing ultimately decides top end speed.
