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 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".

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.
