I have been lurking on this forum and a few others for some time, and just joined this forum. Lots of great information here. I am wanting to get 6X6 vehicle, and have been looking into a M35A2. After doing lots of reading, researching, and conversations with people, I am leaning towards something that is a manual transmission and lack of computerized electronics and air assisted stuff, meaning that I think an older 60-70's vintage truck would work. I have looked at a few M35A2's and thought that was originally what I would like. Lately I have seen a few postings on the M109A3, and am leaning towards something like that since I am in Minnesota with winter etc. Is there anything specific that would make a person lean towards one vehicle versus the other?

Welcome!
I'm a MN native but the Army has decided that I should be a Southern boy, so I'm currently in NC, soon to be followed by VA...

Thank you everyone for the welcome. I am in Andover, which is in the northwest Minneapolis/St.Paul metro area. I have not owned any Military vehicles as of yet, but have ridden in many from the M35A2, Willy's Jeep, to a Russian T34 Tank. I have the bug, just trying to figure out what to get.

Welcome aboard SLR I am just across the border in ND in the Fargo area. Your choice sounds pretty good but then the M35A2 is a pretty darned good option also, keep in contact with Deuceman51 he is a great guy and certainly know a whole heap about these trucks! Keep us posted on your progress and good luck!

Welcome to the site.My first was a M35A2,choose it because I could camp in it with the cargo cover on.If wanted to haul something just take off cover.
