In GTA San Andreas, the Tow Truck gains the ability to [[Towing|tow other vehicles]]. This can be very useful for transporting locked cars, or special vehicles in the game. It can also tow other types of vehicles, including helicopters and airplanes. The Tow Truck, somewhat, resembles a [[:wp:Ford F-Series#Seventh generation (1980–1986)|seventh generation F-Series Ford Wrecker]]. | In GTA San Andreas, the Tow Truck gains the ability to [[Towing|tow other vehicles]].

The [[Vapid]] Towtruck in The Lost and Damned appears to be the same make as the [[Slamvan]], which resembles a [[:wp:Ford F-Series#Second generation (1953–1956)|second generation Ford F-Series tow truck]]. However, the headlights and grille look like they are from a [[:wp:Ford E-Series#1975-1991|1975-'79 Ford Econoline]] van, and the windshield and door tops awkwardly appear to be from a [[:wp:Ford_F_Series#Seventh_generation_.281980.E2.80.931986.29|1980's Ford F-Series]]. The Towtruck is depicted to be worn down, with rust damage (more visible with darker body colors) and in disrepair, and has a distorted horn, much like the "beater" variants of the [[Emperor (car)|Emperor]], [[Sabre]], and [[Vigero]]; all Towtrucks also bear the "[[Spray Shops in GTA IV|Native American Engines]]" logos on its doors. As in GTA 2, the Towtruck is incapable of towing anything. | The [[Vapid]] Towtruck in The Lost and Damned and GTA V appears to be the same make as the [[Slamvan]], which resembles a [[:wp:Ford F-Series#Second generation (1953–1956)|second generation Ford F-Series tow truck]].
