Notes
- As of this writing, there is no published Battle Value nor record sheet for this vehicle.
- It is unclear what the Skuda/Growler looks like. In the associated image for the "Growler/Burro Trucks" (in Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised), two identical trucks (from differing angles) are depicted, though unidentified as either of the three profiled support vehicles. However, since Skoda/Growler and a other vehicle both weight in at a mass 1 and a large vehicle is 2.5 tons, the Burro II (massing 50 tons) is the most likely one depicted.
- The Skoda/Growler was originally published simply known as the Growler. The Revised edition of the TRO:VA would change it's name as Skoda "Growler" Service Utility Truck. Its not specified if the Skoda is the vehicle actual name or a company brand, since there no text relating to the vehicle directly in name.
