This should be a quick one.
I'll be running a specialist mob of trukkboyz this week for the first time, and I am a bit confused on the rule.
I've seen a discussion about it, and some people say you can move the trukk, disembark, move the boyz, ahile other people say the boyz cant move.

I was under the impression that the second case was the correct one, but reading the rule both on battlescribbe and wahapedia says:

Trukk Boyz: A TRUKK BOYZ unit can disembark from a TRUKK even if that TRUKK has made a Normal Move this phase.
While any TRUKK BOYZ units are embarked upon a TRUKK, each time that TRUKK model makes a ranged attack, add 1 to that attack's hit roll.

This means you could, with waaagh do a normal move with the trukk, disembark, move and advance the boyz, shoot, charge.
Is this correct? Where does it says you cant move the boyz after disembark?

Trukk Boyz can do everything a disembarked unit is eligible to do after disembarking even if they disembark after the Trukk performs a Normal Move.

This is correct, as I have not found any rule to the contrary.

@OP The "other people say the boyz cant move" need to provide a rule stating that, if they can not, then it is not a rule.

The rule in question is in the latest core book FAQ here https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/9329uszc31Meu3N3.pdf on page 8 under "rules that count as remaining stationary" (move vehicle, disembark unit, charge unit is prohibited).

It's not clear one way or the other as the definition of a "rule that counts as remaining stationary" isn't particularly well defined and Trukk Boyz does not explicity call itself out as a remain stationary rule, but the same rare rules FAQ does state that anything that lets you act as if you were stationary is a remain stationary rule which potentially means that as disembarking usually requires a transport to remain stationary then Trukk Boyz should fall under this... It's a mess and the FAQ needs a FAQ.

So discuss with opponent/TO etc.

Trukk boyz doesn't even use the word "stationary", so they don't interact with that FAQ at all.

It's also worth noting that technically transports do not need to have remained stationary to allow passengers to disembark from them - it just prevents you from disembarking when you make "a Normal Move, an Advance or ha[ve] Fallen Back that phase". Trukk boyz grant permission to disembark despite having made a normal move, but still cannot disembark from an advancing or falling back transport. If the transport would have counted as stationary for the purpose of disembarking, this would not be the case.

Not saying stationary isn't good enough though, as the FAQ clearly states you need a rule other than remains stationary which must explicitly allow disembark after movement in order to do so:

Even if a Transport model is subject to such a rule, embarked models still cannot disembark from that Transport during the Movement phase if that Transport has already moved, unless that Transport (or the models embarked within it) have a rule that explicitly allows them to disembark after the Transport has moved (but if a unit does so, it cannot then charge during the same turn).

I can't think of a way to define Trukk Boyz as a rule that does not meet this criteria regardless of whether it is a remains stationary rule or not.
-Is Trukk Boyz a rule that explicitly allows move+disembark: yes
-Does Trukk Boyz provide any other explicit rules that might override core rules to determine what you can do after disembarking: no

Trukks are not "subject to such a rule", the trukk has simply made a normal move and can never count as stationary after having moved. Therefore the rest of the FAQ does not apply.

The sole reason you see an issue is because you are applying a rule which you should not be applying.

Simple as that.
