When introduced in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], the Mule served as a mid-size straight "[[wp:Luton body|luton]]" truck a step below the [[Yankee]], thus being smaller in size (in actuality being narrower) and lighter. As a result, the Mule fares better in speed and acceleration but still possess average-to-poor cornering. In addition, the truck's awkward weight division may also result in easier rollovers and an inability to return upright in many occasions. The GTA III era Mule most closely resembles a 1989 or 1990 [[wp:Ford E350|Ford E350]] cube van.

In GTA IV, it resembles a 1994-2004 [[wp:Isuzu Elf|Isuzu Elf]], with minor alterations. Unlike all other GTA versions of the Mule, it won't flip over, but is still slow. The GTA IV Mule is manufactured by [[Maibatsu]], and has a 3 litre diesel engine, according to the badging. The Mule comes with various company names painted on the sides, as well as a version with no markings. The companies include Candybox, Cherenkov, [[The Bean Machine]], [[Alpha Mail]], [[Easy Lay Carpet]], and Betta Pharmaceuticals. It should also be noted that due to its height, it is unsellable at [[Stevie|Stevie's]] garage, as it will not fit inside.
