In GTA Vice City, the Packer could not transport vehicles, but in GTA San Andreas it can carry two or three, due to the ability to elevate part of the ramp.

However, cars can still roll off at sudden stops or other sudden movements. Cars brushing against the truck can cause the truck to stop unexpectedly. The Packer can also be used as a stunt ramp. It is possible to safely store one car on the Packer in GTA San Andreas, due to its ability to move the upper ramp up and down; this is done by driving it onto the bottom ramp and slowly closing the top ramp down. If the ramp goes go too far down, however, the car will get crushed and explode. The player must have a good touch to keep the car safely in place. The Packer in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas bears a resemblance to the 1986 Peterbilt 379 Car Carrier. | ||
The Packer is slow and hard to control due to its long body and wheelbase. But it can push small cars away without restraint. | The Packer is slow and hard to control due to its long body and wheelbase. But it can push small cars away without restraint. | ||
