The Linerunner is a semi-truck, featured in the GTA III Era; it is the only vehicle of it's type in all of the games, except in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, where it is supplemented by two other semi-trucks.

Overview

The Linerunner's performance is what would be expected for a vehicle of it's size and weight, it's slow to accelerate and hard to maneuver in tight spaces, but once it gets going it has a decent top speed. Disappointingly, though, it's not quite as strong as it's intimidating appearance and size would suggest, and it gets knocked around by other vehicles surprisingly easily. The Linerunner's handling is fairly steady, but if the player does manage to roll it over it's very difficult to get it back onto it's wheels, due to it's height.

Along with the Tanker and Roadtrain, the Linerunner in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas can be connected to a trailer in order to haul cargo, and is used in the Trucking missions; with the presence of two new semi-trucks in GTA San Andreas, the Linerunner is also revealed to be the slowest and least powerful semi-truck of the three.

In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, it can be easily driven and balanced on only one side, making it the easiest vehicle to get a two-wheel bonus in.
