::::I am 90% sure the name is Bull Truck. I'm not fluent in Japanese by any means, but I understand it transliteratory linguistic structure fairly well. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 14:19, June 18, 2019 (EDT)

:::::The article name should definitely be changed to "Bull Truck". The kart is called "Bull Truck" in this video (https://youtu.be/uEZrG6YhzPw), unless this is an unofficial fan translation patch that I'm not aware of. Regardless, Jim Breen's online Japanese Dictionary (http://nihongo.monash.edu/cgi-bin/wwwjdic?1C) shows that torakku (トラック) could be translated as either track (racing) or truck (vehicle). Using the same source, Doc von Schmeltwick would also be correct in stating toruku (トルク) is torque. This very wiki also shows torakku (トラック) being used to refer to trucks in Mario games (https://www.mariowiki.com/Tropical_Truck and https://www.mariowiki.com/Truck). I'd change the article name myself, but I just recently created this account and I'm not sure the proper etiquette or the possible cascading effects changing it would have.

::::::[[File:MK8 PTT Cargo Truck Render.gif|60px]] I agree that it should be moved to '''Bull Truck''' per the video (the chances of it being an unofficial fan translation seems miniscule; it's not like ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX'' is Japan only and there's great demand for a thing?) I do wish the uploader documented what they did before uploading the video, but I guess it's just an emulator of the arcade machine in the end. The etiquette for moving pages would be to get a decent talk page consensus (that can be sometimes ineffective because not everyone sees the comments unless it's made in the right moment where someone sees the post in the recent changes) or a [[MarioWiki:Proposals|talk page proposal]] which usually gets a more active discussion going though I like to reserve these for contentious debates, where a vote would settle things. Anyway to move pages you have to be [[MarioWiki:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed]]. Even so you leave redirects when you do this, and I believe redirect is fine since it may still be a searched name, but you still have to update the links (use [[Special:WhatLinksHere]]) and edit the navigation template {{tem|MKAGPDX}} and possible unlinked body text. I hope this answers your queries! {{User:Mario/sig}} 20:33, April 3, 2023 (EDT)
