The DFT-30 is a large and long [[wp:Cab over|cab-over]] flatbed truck, with a cab (which is available only in white) resembling that of a [[wp:Ford Cargo|Ford Cargo]]. However, it is probably more likely, given its size, that it is based on a [[wp:Mitsubishi Fuso Fighter|Mitsubishi Fuso Fighter]]. As are most trucks in game, the DFT-30 is only capable of seating two. 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]]. | The DFT-30 is a large and long [[wp:Cab over|cab-over]] flatbed truck, with a cab (which is available only in white) resembling that of a [[wp:Ford Cargo|Ford Cargo]].

While the DFT-30 is depicted with a body designed for a six-wheeler truck, the truck has only one rear wheel on 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 here]. | |||

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, and the stiff suspension leaves the truck unstable and susceptible to tipping over when traveling on bumpy grounds. | 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, and the stiff suspension leaves the truck unstable and susceptible to tipping over when traveling on bumpy grounds. | ||
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]]).

Despite the inability to attach objects on the flatbed, it can be used for off loading, just as long as the truck doesn't go too fast or too rickety when confronting against rough terrains. | ||

*It is possible to ride on the back of the truck without the player floating backwards or falling off/over. It also can provide a steady gunning platform, as all of the back is completely flat and wide. | *It is possible to ride on the back of the truck without the player floating backwards or falling off/over.
