This is my first post so go easy on me and please move if this is the wrong section for this.
I'm a military brat so I've been eyeing the green iron since I was very young but couldn't join due to my health issues. I am now looking at the 5 ton long frames for a camper. I know that I want a extended frame for the bed space but don't know in depth the differences in the types.
So far im looking at the M927 and the FMTV I think I understand the pros and cons of both trouble wise, but now I'm getting deeper into the research and have more questions like what are the pros and cons of the bonnet vs. cabover design, are there different frames for different equipment like I think I heard a few of the previous models (mainly regarding the ribbon bridge carrier) had differences in frame design, and are there differences in the handling of the vehicles offroad. (I have driven a M939 offroad before)
I'm not looking to start a debate over which is better just looking to add to the facts I have before I pull the trigger on one. I found most of the common problems in the forum so I understand them I'm just trying to bring my decision to a final one.
Sorry ahead of time if I ramble or don't make myself clear the first time as I am high functioning autistic. Just ask me to try to clarify as my way of speaking doesn't always make sense to others what I'm trying to convey.
