The '''Forklift''' is, as implied, a forklift featured in multiple Grand games, including [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. It functionally varies between each games. | The '''Forklift''' is, as implied, a forklift featured in multiple Grand games, including [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]].

The Forklift is a small, light vehicle, to the point where it cannot sustain high velocity hits without being knocked over. Control can be a problem, due to its rear-wheel steering. While the lift is functional in the GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories rendition, there is no apparent way to raise or lower the lift in GTA IV. | The Forklift is a small, light vehicle, to the point where it cannot sustain high velocity hits without being knocked over.

The GTA IV rendition of the Forklift houses a tank of what seems to be propane; shooting it will either cause it to leak ignited gas, or to itself ignite and eventually explode, taking the entire vehicle with it. Safety illustrations are printed on the vehicle, accompanied by the caption "YOU WILL DIE". | The GTA IV rendition of the Forklift, having been given [[HVY]] badging, houses a tank of what seems to be propane; shooting it will either cause it to leak ignited gas, or to itself ignite and eventually explode, taking the entire vehicle with it.

The Forklift's performance is, as expected, very poor. With a low power and rear steering, the Forklift moves in a snail pace and possesses overly sensitive turning to the point sudden turns will pitch it violently to one side, frequently tipping it over. | |||

In both GTA San Andreas and GTA IV, the Forklift is as slow as any lower powered vehicle such as the [[Mower]] and the [[Sweeper]]. In GTA Vice City Stories, however, the forward speed of the Forklift is virtually slower than the player character's run, although it does move faster in reverse. While being the slowest vehicle in GTA IV, the game's Forklift has the fastest acceleration of any vehicle in GTA IV (3.4 seconds to top speed), presumably to compensate for its negligible top speed of 29mph (just over half that of the next slowest vehicle, the [[Ripley]]). | |||
