Environmental impact section out-of-date, needs update edit
The article states "Trucks contribute to air, noise, and water pollution similarly to automobiles. Trucks may[vague] emit lower air pollution emissions than cars per equivalent vehicle mass, although the absolute level per vehicle distance traveled is higher, and diesel exhaust is especially dangerous for health." This is badly out of date, given the many changes to after-treatments in the ten years since the references cited. Can someone look into re-writing this based on the latest data?

- Sedimentary I have added a couple of sentences to the "engines and motors" section but yes more update is needed about environmental impact. I am not an expert and am not watching this article so if you or anyone else has the latest data please go ahead.Chidgk1 (talk) 11:08, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Max Weight UK edit
44 tonnes might be the normal weight limit, but its not uncommon to see STGO (Special Types General Orders) plated lorries on the road and their weight limits are much higher https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/special-types-enforcement-guide/special-types-enforcement-guide

confusing relation "EU" and other EU-countries listed edit
At "EU", please add that it's not a country and that is's the general EU-guideline, especially because of the countries below (Finland, Ireland, Sweden). You can also add the Netherlands as deviation from the EU-rule as following: 3 axles: 26 tons and 12m. with one trailer: 50t and 16.5m (while EU is 40t). Max. comination: 60t and 25.25m.

Please change
Mannesmann Mulag lorry at Finlayson factory in Tampere, Finland in 1921
to
Mannesmann Mulag truck at Finlayson factory in Tampere, Finland in 1921
In line with MOS:ARTCON, only one form of English should be used in this article, so "lorry" shouldn't appear except in places that discuss the terminology itself. The title itself is "truck" rather than "lorry", and "lorry" doesn't appear anywhere else in the article, except the introduction, the "Etymology" section, and some of the references. 122.150.71.249 (talk) 04:38, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

On Truck page,Shedload (talk) 22:41, 24 November 2023 (UTC) picture of 1931 Truck listed as Ford. It is actually a Foden built in Cheshire England.
Box Truck edit
Box trucks ("tilts" in the UK) have walls and a roof, making an enclosed load space. The rear has doors for unloading; a side door is sometimes fitted. The above description is incorrect. A tilt (in the UK) is a canvas cover for the back of a vehicle, often used on LandRovers. Full tilt covers whole vehicle, or there is 3/4 , 1/2 tilts. Shedload (talk) 22:57, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
