In The Lost and Damned, the [[Vapid]] Slamvan is a different vehicle; it no longer resembles a heavily customized pick-up as it did in GTA San Andreas. It now resembles a [[wp:Rat rod|rat rodded]] 1950s panel van with some mild custom features, based on a [[wp:Ford F-Series#Second generation (1953–1956)|1953–1956 Ford F-Series van]], but awkwardly appears to have the windshield and door tops from a [[wp:Ford F Series#Seventh generation (1980–1986)|1980s Ford F-Series]]; in comparison, the [[Tow Truck|Towtruck]] looks to be a Heavy Duty truck variant of the same make. The van comes in only four color schemes, one of which is a two-tone gray body color, and another encompasses a black body with red outer rims. The Slamvan also bears [[The Lost Brotherhood|The Lost MC]]'s insignias. Slamvan lacks any model and brand badges, but police radio will refer the van as "Vapid Slamvan".
In The Lost and Damned, the [[Vapid]] Slamvan is a different vehicle; it no longer resembles a heavily customized pick-up as it did in GTA San Andreas. It now resembles a [[wp:Rat Rod|Rat Rodded]] 1950's panel van with some mild custom features, based on a [[wp:Ford F-Series#Second generation (1953–1956)|1953–1956 Ford F-Series van]], but awkwardly appears to have the windshield and door tops from a [[wp:Ford F Series#Seventh generation (1980–1986)|1980s Ford F-Series]]; in comparison, the [[Tow Truck|Towtruck]] looks to be a Heavy Duty truck variant of the same make.

The Slamvan's performance is below average, being attributed largely by its poor acceleration, although the van can achieve average speeds. The van's rear wheel torque also makes the van prone to burnouts, but is capable of relatively good cornering and braking, presumably because of its lighter weight.

* The TBOGT Slamvan has a different horn from its TLAD counterpart. In addition, the Slamvan in TBOGT backfires through its exhaust pipes, while the TLAD rendition does not.
 
* Audio data for the Slamvan in TLAD and TBOGT, reveals that the Slamvan's engine noise is titled EP1_PICKUP, possibly meaning in the beta, the Slamvan was going to be similar to what it looked like in GTA San Andreas. This is further supported by the fact that the police radio refers to it as a pickup and not a van, indicating that the radio chatter was not updated after the Slamvan was changed from a pickup to a van.

* Inside the Audio data for the TBOGT and TLAD Slamvan, inside the EP1 or EP2 audio file for the Slamvan's engine noise, the sounds are named EP1_PICKUP, possibly meaning in the beta, the Slamvan was going to be similar to what it looked like in GTA San Andreas. This is further supported by the fact that the police radio refers to it as a pickup and not a van, meaning that Rockstar forgot to change the radio chatter when it was changed from a pickup to a van.
