==Overview==
==Overview==
The DFT-30 is a large and long [[Wikipedia:Cab over|cab-over]] flatbed truck, with a cab resembling that of a Ford Cargo. However, it is probably more likely, given its size, that it is based on a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Fuso_Fighter Mitsubishi Fuso Fighter]. Unusually, the truck has only five wheels as it lacks a rear tire on its left; for some reason the sixth tire is invisible and it can be shot. Like the Flatbed, the DFT-30's size makes it slow and less maneuverable. The length of the truck also makes for difficult driving in narrow roadways. As are most trucks in game, the DFT-30 is only capable of seating two. It's also available only in white. The truck's flatbed is of little use for transporting vehicles (as the load usually slides to the back whenever the truck moves forward, like the [[Packer]]). It also can provide a steady gunning platform, as all of the back is completely flat and it is quite big. Despite that you cannot attach things on a flatbed, it can be used for off roading, just as long as the truck doesn't go too fast or too rickety when confronting against rough terrains.

The truck's flatbed is of little use for transporting vehicles (as the load usually slides to the back whenever the truck moves forward, like the [[Packer]]). It also can provide a steady gunning platform, as all of the back is completely flat and wide. Despite that you cannot attach things on the flatbed, it can be used for off roading, just as long as the truck doesn't go too fast or too rickety when confronting against rough terrains.


DFT-30s may appear on roadways close to industrial establishments. A DFT-30 can also be found at the north side of a sawmill, in northern [[Angel Pine]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
The DFT-30 noticeably has only one rear wheel to its left while its right has two. This combination has been outlawed in North America, so it is highly probable that this is a minor error or bug, as the player is able to see sparks coming out when the "invisible" tire is shot punctured. A fix for the PC version can be obtained [http://grandtheftauto.filefront.com/file/DFT_30_Wheel_Fix;46428 here].
While the DFT-30 is depicted with a body designed as for six wheeler truck, the truck has only one rear wheel to its left while its right has two, resulting in a truck that seemingly has only five wheels. This combination has been outlawed in North America, so it is highly probable that this is a minor error or bug, as the player is able to see sparks coming out from the "invisible" tire when it is punctured. A fix for the PC version can be obtained [http://grandtheftauto.filefront.com/file/DFT_30_Wheel_Fix;46428 here].
