Chris I love my M923A2 but its no where close to comfort levels of the lmtv. Room wise and dry and warm.

Nope the lmtv has locking door handles already.
A locksmith can make key for it.
When you get ready I'll let you know what key blank you will need.

Even if the LMTV was flawless, it's still ugly as ever.
The M939 5 tons at least "look" like a real truck.

Both have pros and cons.
Both have their own maintenance issues.


It's personal preference.
Some guys like the LMTV only
Some like the M939 series only
Some like both, or even neither

Excellent insight has been posted on both trucks.

You can compare these trucks to death.
It all boils down to which one you "like" more. Plain and simple

Thanks I do like them both and would always rather have a Cummins but if the cabs leak on the 5 ton it's a deal breaker.

I prefer to use the term "hydrate", as opposed to "leak". Hydration keeps the skin soft and minimizes the effects of aging. It's the military version of the fountain of youth. If your thirsty during a rainstorm, just sit straight up in the seat and fresh, rejuvenating rainwater will be aimed perfectly at your mouth for refreshment while driving. It helps to maintain posture as well. Slouch...and you'll find be punished with an eye full of water. It's a well known fact that the M939 windshield hinge is the source of this abundance of health in liquid form.











Some say that I missed my calling as a bridge salesman...:mrgreen:

Its for washing the floor boards out so you dont have to vacuum. The windshields always leak even siliconed shut those inside corners have some special talent for letting water in.

the fact the front windows open are a plus while running in ice storms the guy riding shot gun can open his window and scrape yours and knock ice build up off the wiper blades for you while driving down the road. however sitting un attended in a blizzard will shure enough fill the cab with snow

I agree I will miss that to, but when the mosquitos are thick I think I will like how the lmtv will seal them out to, I may have to look into an ac upgrade
