The HVY Ripley is an airline pushback in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V.

Description

Like most trucks, the Ripley's performance is defined by its average pickup, below average top speed and poor brakes, but it has a tight turning radius, due to its very short wheelbase. This truck can pack a powerful punch on cars, and can tip them over easily at relatively low speeds. Additionally, the Ripley's mid-to-rear-mounted engine configuration allows the vehicle to survive large numbers of head-on collisions; the openness of the cab, however, exposes the player to gunfire. Also, the large tires can easily be shot and blown out, making getaways from high-end police extremely difficult.

Seen only at Francis International Airport in GTA IV and Los Santos International Airport in GTA V, the Ripley may appear as a pedestrian vehicle and will cause the Airtug to spawn on the road, or be found parked on the tarmac or car parks of the airport. Like certain vehicles operating in the vicinity of the airport, the Ripley bears the FlyUS livery.
