A Yankee in San Fierro, San Andreas

The Yankee is a large straight commercial truck that is featured in all the GTA III era games (except for GTA Advance), as well as in Grand Theft Auto IV, now being a rare vehicle to locate in some industrial areas. It is the largest straight-truck on the games, has a decent speed, and has room for 2 people including the driver. It is not a very useful vehicle because it can flip on rough terrain and is only good for driving on roads. It has no special features.

Trivia

  • The Yankee is the only vehicle that has been proven to work with a mission in GTA Liberty City Stories; where the player may obtain a Maverick, without using any third party trainer programs. The mission requires the use of the "perfect handling" cheat to be activated, thus giving the truck a jumping capability. Using this the player can use the truck, make it jump on the building, and steal the helicopter.
  • The Yankee is one of the few vehicles on the game that have a changing "skin", along with a random paint job. This means that the Yankee will have a random advertisement printed on the side of the truck.
  • In GTA Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, if the player breaks off the rear shutter, it is possible to see the contents of the truck, for example, a fish truck will be carrying crates of fish, a butcher truck will be carrying meat etc. Plain trucks, however, tend to be empty.
