Tow Truck
The Tow Truck is a vehicle featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and in the downloadable episodic pack The Lost and Damned for Grand Theft Auto IV.
GTA San Andreas
In GTA San Andreas it is a semi-unique vehicle, because it has the ability to tow other vehicles, an ability seen only otherwise in the Tractor, and, to a limited degree, the Baggage. This can be very useful for transporting locked cars, or special vehicles in the game. It can also tow other types of vehicles, including helicopters and airplanes. The Tow Truck, somewhat, resembles a seventh generation F-Series Ford Wrecker. Despite being a tow truck, the vehicle is very fast, but has a tad understeer. It is also a durable vehicle, and can drive away from being rammed even by a Rhino.
The Lost and Damned
The Towtruck in the Lost and Damned looks similar to the Slamvan, which resembles a second generation Ford F-Series tow truck. However, the headlights and grille look like they are from 1975-'79 Ford Econoline vans. It is rusty, and has a broken/distorted horn, much like the "beater" variants of the Emperor, Sabre, and Vigero. Unfortunately, the vehicle cannot be used to tow anything.
