The Yankee's size and weight often contributes to its poor cornering, poor acceleration and poor hill-climbing abilities, but may achieve decent speed on a straightaway. The performance and appearances of the Yankee are also slightly different between renditions in GTA III and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], and other GTA games it is featured in. For renditions in GTA Vice City, [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] and [[GTA IV]], the Yankee features an extended cargo hold that also results in poorer acceleration and steering. As with any two-door truck, the Yankee only has room for 2 occupants, including the driver. | ||
The Yankee is generally useless due to its performance and susceptibility to rollovers on rough terrain and it has no special features, expect that it may be used as a moving "staircase". The player can jump on the hood, and then to the roof, and then to the container. This can be very useful to reach high places, like hidden packages and weapons, even Easter eggs. | The Yankee is generally useless due to its performance and susceptibility to rollovers on rough terrain and it has no special features, expect that it may be used as a moving "staircase".

*The Yankee is the only vehicle that has been proven to work with a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|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 the only vehicle that has been proven to work with a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|GTA Liberty City Stories]]; where the player may obtain a [[Maverick]], without using any third party trainer programs.

*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. | *The Yankee is one of the few vehicles on the game that have a changing "skin", along with a random paint job.
