In GTA San Andreas, the Tanker appeared with a semi-cab design. It is one of the more popular of the three trucks in [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]], being encountered more than any of the others (the [[Roadtrain]] and the [[Linerunner]]), and is generally designed as a mid-sized semi truck smaller than the Roadtrain but larger than the Linerunner.

After an examination of internal files, it is clearly shown that the Tanker in GTA San Andreas is the slowest of all three but it has better acceleration than the [[Linerunner]]. In-game gameplay, however, has the truck performing better than the Linerunner, with an unusually better top speed, as well as superior acceleration and hill climbing power.
