Please add |suspension, |spec_label and |speed (all 3 fields are already included in Template:Infobox weapon but still missing in infobox automobile!) The fact that the M939 truck article is still using the infobox weapon instead of automobile due to these 3 fields missing (although infobox automobile already exists since 2006) is kind of shocking.

Two words: scope creep. If we added every field ever suggested then the infobox would be massively long. It's job is to present a summary of the vehicle, not to list every aspect of it. Therefore, we try to keep it short. Even so, some infoboxes get overloaded with specs for every engine, every trim level and every possible length but we do our best to keep it short.
|suspension= could be justifiable.
|spec_label= can probably use the |model_code= field.
|speed= is dependent on so many variables (engine, suspension, tyres, fuel, engine map, gearbox, road surface, ambient air temperature, etc) that it becomes meaningless. Often, it only applies to a single variant of the vehicle. Stepho talk 00:19, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ride height or ground clearance is an important parameter, it can be added in the "Dimensions" section of the infobox. Ride height is important for offroading, and also in developing countries where speedbreakers and potholes and uneven roads call for the gap from the ground.
