Talk:Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck

message: Just wanted to point out that neither of the pictured vehicles are HEMTTs.  Both pictured vehicles are PLSs.  The primary visible difference between the HEMTT and the PLS is that the HEMTT is an 8x8 and the PLS is a 10x10.  The THAAD system is mounted on a PLS mover, not a HEMTT.  The vehicles have a similar appearance and can be easily confused.  (A good friend of mine drives both vehicles and pointed this out to me.) Sperril 19:44, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Unless I am TOTALLY off base, the full acronym is HEMMTT, for Heavy Expanded Mobility Multipurpose Tactical Truck, as the DOD really like to emphase the usefulness of their toys.  I don't have acess to the manual right now so I will not edit the article, but I remember this from the driver training course. Surrogate Spook 22:27, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

text: You're probably thinking of the two M's in HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle). Don't worry, I won't report you to the AAAAA (Army Acronym Abuse and Aberration Agency)... this time. The Duct Tape Avenger 04:33, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missed an "M" 

message: It states that the HEMTT supports 4 crewmembers or 4 are able to sit in it, one or the other.  Issue is that these vehicles are only 2 seaters, there are no seats anywhere else on the vehicle other than the two inside the cab,  It's not a bench seat, they've got very springy seats (cab is quite bouncy).  A wrecker team consists of 2 people and more if need be, however that would take more vehicles.  Anybody care to explain this if possible?Loquat15 08:01, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've fixed it. I don't know if they mean 4 crew members to run the truck for whatever purpose it needs or not, but the cabs of these trucks are physically unable to hold 4 people. SpigotMap 09:14, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The article mentions that it was developed "the United States Army and Marine Corps", but I've never seen or heard of them being used in the Corps, ever. The Table of MARES-reportable equipment does not list any variation. I was wondering if the editer confused the HEMMT with the LVS (they look incredibly similar), or if the Corps was origionally going to acquire some but later diceded not to.

replies: text: I was about to point out the same issue. So a "disambiguation" instead of a "redirect" for the nickname should be created. Can anyone help with that? (I don't know how to do it...)  Thanks & regards, DPdH (talk) 06:40, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Not sure if this is worthy for inclusion, however it is an example of a military vehicle that includes open source components.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ThomasOwens (talk • contribs) 17:27, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
