H1s are not narrower than any of those trucks...body width on an H1 is 86.5", most full size trucks are right around 80". Looks like a fun rig though, you'll be glad you got the whole thing Rhino-lined...
I have THE hunting rig to get me to the Trail Head.

The Hummers have not been accepted by the ranching community and they put utility above fancy.
I recall early on in their introduction to the civilian market a dealer brought some to a cattleman's association convention and parked them outside the convention hall as floor models. Apparently they forgot to lock the doors on one.
After the dance the second night, someone I may or may not know had some female companionship on the hard bench seat.
Best test drive ofmy um his life...

Sorry for the digression, @Flyingone . It’s a cool-looking ride. I’ve never been lucky enough to find elk right from the rig, but that one should get you to the trailheads.

Is it long enough that you can remove or fold down seats to sleep in?
Joking aside, I think that would be a great western hunting rig. Post some field pics this fall.

I should have clarified...
1) It is a Military HMMWV and NOT a Hummer, civilian version.
2) "YES" I can put a whole Elk in the back.
3) I have Full faith that it could go anywhere and a lot more than a 4 bannger Toyota! (OMG REALLY?!?).
4) Fuel Mileage does suck but it is a HUNTING RIG and NOT a Highway Vehicle!
5) I am 6'01" with 195 pounds. It is way comfortable enough to get to a trail head.
6) Sure are A LOT of "armchair" quarterbacks on this site that can spout of an "opinion" faster than they can afford something!! Hope you feel better!
7) No! I have never shot an Elk from anywhere near a road either. I can get to/from the trail head no matter what. Can you?? GOOD BOOTS ARE A MUST!
8) Pictures will follow!!
9) YES they are NARROWER (Mine is at 80 1/2" "Mirror Tip to Mirror Tip") than the Modern trucks! (Sniffing Glue today??)
a) GM
b) Ford 101.3 to 108.6"
c) Dodge 8'6" L x 97" W x 58" C/A x 42" Runners.
D) I did state, "Mirror Tip to Mirror Tip" folks!
For everyone else that is not overly OPINIONATED, I enjoyed "sharing" my hunting rig with you! Have a great season!!

Isn’t an opinion exactly what you were looking for when you made a poll titled “will this work?”

You are correct. I should have thought through that one a little better!

Might be a bit wide on some roads or trails, but other wise it looks fun!
As long as the trail-heads are legally accessed by vehicles I don't care what kind they are. You might be parked next to a Prius at the trail-heads.

The day that how you get to the trailhead becomes relevant in whether you fill an elk tag or not is a day I do not wish to see. I hope you enjoy your rig. But, if I were a betting man and were willing to bet a nickel, by bet is that you don't get your elk this fall. Unless.... you put as much effort into hunting as you do your hunting rig. If that is the case I will amend my opinion.
Please post pics of the monster mud holes bagged and the tag soup at the end of the season.
