Personally, I've always thought that the Joe vehicles were pretty much used arbitrarily, since most of them (particularly the ones that came out post-1985) aren't really on the same level of realism as the figures. The SLAM's an example... I think it was described as an anti-aircraft weapon in the fold-out catalogue that came with the boxed vehicles, but it's pretty apparent that its array of cannons are composed of smooth-bore type weapons more associated with field artillery.
Never really a fan of the Joe vehicles, myself, though, except maybe for the VAMP and the AWE Striker, and the Dreadnok Thunder Machine and Cobra Stinger.
