1. The name of the German article de: 5-Ton-Truck is not equivalent to the names of other articles (pl:M939, ru:M939, sv:M939). “5-Ton-Truck” is a type (a class) of trucks, and the family M939 is only a representative of this truck type as, for example, the family M809 is.

2. The contents of the article de: 5-Ton-Truck is not equivalent to the contents of the articles pl:M939, ru:M939, sv:M939. The article de: 5-Ton-Truck tells about M809 truck family, the articles in Polish, Russian and Swedish Wikipedias tell about M939 truck family. Also pay attention: there is “a red link” de:M939 in the Germany articles de: 5-Ton-Truck

I used "USMC M923 (6X6) 5-ton cargo truck" in the infobox because I think it is more representive, and I like LF 1/4 shots on LHD vehicles. That was the only pic that had a location, and it could be political, it's out.

How can you tell that ""U.S. Marine Corps M923" is an A1 and not an A2? No other suffixs anyway.Sammy D III (talk) 17:12, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What is wrong with globalsecurity.org? The second half of the linked page specifically addresses safety, certainly the source for the entire section. Everything except “would "lock up" in 2nd gear” is covered.

I didn’t do safety, but have used globalsecurity.org regularly. Their numbers match other sources, I believe they are very good. Sammy D III (talk) 20:07, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have been told that feet are easier than inches for many people. Sammy D III (talk) 03:23, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am thinking of changing the name to "M939 Series 5-ton 6x6 truck". Sammy D III (talk) 04:30, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The picture shows two people in the cab. Can a third person sit between them? 104.153.40.58 (talk) 17:58, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
