The Bulldozer in GTA Vice City Stories assumes a significantly different appearance, while retaining the front loader design of the previous rendition. The Bulldozer is longer than the Dozer, and features a closed cab complete with doors. However, the Bulldozer's new "scooping" ram is not adjustable. Its engine sound is similar to sports cars like the [[Infernus]] or the [[Cheetah]].

GTA Chinatown War's Bulldozer design is actually similar to the GTA Vice City Stories rendition, down to the body design and size.

Along with this is a feature created by the roll cage around the cab: the Dozer is almost completely flip-proof. Because of the cage's position, when the Dozer is flipped, it rolls over the cage and usually will end up on its wheels. This feature is very useful in Quarry missions, as you can descend several tiers without using the ramp or a risk of flipping the dozer.
 
The GTA Vice City rendition retains the same large size and heavy weight, but features front wheel drive instead, resulting in the vehicle suffering from poor cornering and requiring a larger turning radius. However, the vehicle is peculiar in that while its acceleration is poor, the Bulldozer can achieve moderately good top speeds along straightaways. While lacking a movable ram, it is good for ramming vehicles nonetheless.


=== GTA Chinatown Wars ===
Because of its bottom-heavy design, the Dozer is designed to rest upright after a flip. This feature is very useful in [[Hunter Quarry]]'s Quarry missions, as players can drive and flip the vehicle down several tiers of the quarry without the risk of having the vehicle resting on its top or side.
The GTA Chinatown Wars rendition of the Bulldozer suffers the same problems as the GTA Vice City Stories rendition, being terrible in steering and thus being generally maneuverable in tight environments; its ram is also unmovable. Its top speed receives a minor reduction, but its acceleration remains poor. Being large and heavy, however, the Bulldozer is durable and effective in [[Wanted Level in GTA Chinatown Wars|disabling police cars]] with a few minor hits.

A Dozer in GTA San Andreas.

The Dozer is a heavy earth-moving vehicle in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V.

Design

The Dozer in GTA San Andreas is designed as a four-wheel bulldozer (hence the name), being stamped with a DUDE logo in association with the manufacturer of heavy machinery. Obviously, the vehicle is devoid of any luxuries, it's roll cage design is similar to the Forklift's cage and is depicted with an open driver compartment with no doors, leaving the player vulnerable to being pull out of the vehicle by hostile NPCs; the Dozer is also equipped with an adjustable ram. Entering the Dozer will execute a unique animation of climbing into the vehicle. The Dozer can only seat one person.

It is mainly used for the Quarry side-mission.

Performance

For GTA San Andreas, the Dozer is very large and heavy, and therefore has a slow top speed; the Dozer also features rear wheel steering, meaning that it is pushed into turns instead of pulled, making for a very small turning radius, although this also makes the Dozer more vulnerable to tailspins if in higher speeds. Its movable ram can be used to plowed through a bunch of other cars is no problem for this vehicle; as its weight and torque make it nearly unstoppable.

Because of its bottom-heavy design, the Dozer is designed to rest upright after a flip. This feature is very useful in Hunter Quarry's Quarry missions, as players can drive and flip the vehicle down several tiers of the quarry without the risk of having the vehicle resting on its top or side.
