The Phantom has a 24-valve Supercharged engine (over 720hp), allowing the vehicle to accelerate moderately well despite its weight and reach moderately high top speeds, but does nothing to improve its slower brake response and wide turning radius. Its size and weight make it perfect for pushing almost any vehicle out of the way; such is its power that it can cause critical damage to some vehicles (igniting their engine) upon impact. The truck resembles a Peterbilt 359 EXHD. | The Phantom has a 24-valve Supercharged engine (over 720hp), allowing the vehicle to accelerate moderately well despite its weight and reach moderately high top speeds, but does nothing to improve its slower brake response and wide turning radius.

Unlike the tractor trailers in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], the Phantom cannot [[Towing|attach to any trailers]] parked throughout the [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|city]]. | Unlike the tractor trailers in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], the Phantom cannot [[Towing|attach to any trailers]] parked throughout the [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|city]]. | ||

The performance for a truck of this size is actually impressive, but obviously not the best. Acceleration is mediocre, but better than its size would suggest. Speed is very good, making the Phantom one of the fastest industrial vehicles in the game, but not as fast as the [[Fire Truck]]. Handling is, as expected, poor, but if the player holds the brake and the acceleration buttons at the same time while turning, the truck tends to turn easier. This trick also works with the [[Biff]], [[Bus]], and [[Flatbed]]. | The performance for a truck of this size is actually impressive, but obviously not the best.
