Now that I think about it they travel at 50MPH in those convoys so it makes sense, possibly they are difficult to drive at speeds above 50MPH and the government knows your typical consumer will try to drive it at 80MPH.

Our convoy speeds are 45mph. We do it b/c we have to drive to the speed of the slowest vehicle in the convoy, which for us is the 2 1/2 ton truck. I have driven a HMMWV on the highway many times, and I would not want to drive one at 80. In fact, I am not sure it's possible due to the gearing. If you did get it up that fast, it would be screaming. HMMWVs are not good highway vehicles at all.
