It has a sporty appearance and it has a very powerful engine that allows it to drive on and off road. While it handles on roads just fine, to use it's full potential the player will have to try it off road - particularly on sand. It can go anywhere at high speeds, but it tends to flip over since it's very tall and top heavy, however, it will only flip over if launching off of a ramp or driving up a hill incorrectly. It is based on racing trucks used in the [[wp:Dakar Rally|Dakar Rally]], most likely a [[wp:Kamaz|Kamaz]]. There is also a glitch where the shine on the ground faces backwards, under the vehicle.

The Dune is designed as an off-road racing adaptation of a large cab-over truck, outfitted with improved suspensions, off-road tires, five running lights, rollbars, and a two-tone racing livery. Its design is similar to endurance trucks competing in long-distance desert rallies, such as the Dakar Rally. Like most trucks in the game, the Dune is only capable of carrying two occupants.

The Dune cannot be modified at any modification garage.

Performance

The rear wheel drive Dune features a powerful engine, and as a result, is remarkably good when negotiating off-road terrains, being more than capable of climbing up inclines where most vehicles would have more trouble traversing. However, its high center of gravity makes the vehicle unstable when tilting sideways, so caution must be exercised when driving the vehicle along bumpy terrain. The truck's soft suspension does help in minimizing rollovers to an extent, as well as easing cornering. While the Dune is ideal for off-roading, it only possesses a moderately good top speed, lagging behind most sports cars if driven on normal roads.
