Description
In GTA Vice City, the Packer could not transport vehicles, but in GTA San Andreas it can carry two or three, due to the ability to elevate part of the ramp. However, cars can still roll off at sudden stops or other sudden movements. The Packer can also be used as a stunt ramp. It is possible to safely store one car on the Packer in GTA San Andreas, due to its ability to move the upper ramp up and down; this is done by driving it onto the bottom ramp and slowly closing the top ramp down. If the ramp goes go too far down, however, the car will get crushed and explode. The player must have a good touch to keep the car safely in place. The GTA III Era Packer bears a resemblance to the 1986 Peterbilt 379 Car Carrier.
The Packer in GTA IV has a cab over engine design and is manufactured by MTL. In addition to the ramp that was available on previous versions of the Packer, it now comes with flatbed and tanker variations (the tanker's content is unknown). The ramp does not touch the ground so it can't be used for transporting cars or doing stunts. After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Packer fetching $4,000.
The Packer in general is slow and difficult to handle, but heavy and capable of pushing aside smaller vehicles with ease. The truck is also one of the largest land vehicles in the GTA III Era.
