The Vapid Slamtruck is a car hauler featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Cayo Perico Heist update, released on January 21, 2021, during the Slamtruck Week event.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Slamtruck is a car hauler derivative of the Slamvan, bearing a resemblance to the Suzy Stuchel's custom 1956 Ford COE 600 Hauler.
The Slamtruck shares some of the distinctive features from the Slamvan, being the split grille, circular headlights and cabin. However, it assumes a bulkier profile, where the front end features a flat bumper and a taller hood. The sides of the cab feature curved fenders with side steps for access, while the cabin has a more rounded rear portion, larger rear-view mirrors and wider separations on the side and rear windows. The rear section mainly consist of the rear ramp, having slanted side borders, small compartments and a single exhaust tip on the passenger side. The ramp features two black sections running across it, as well as an unusable tow hook and winch. The rear end features circular tail lights and a license plate. The interior is drastically different to the Slamvan, using the "Peyote" dial set and the "Peyote White" interior textures seen on the Voodoo Custom and the Peyote Custom.
The primary color of the truck is applied on the hood, cabin and the trims/details around the vehicle's lower area, while the secondary color is applied on the lower front and the rear section. Although not accessible, a trim color is also available for the doors and the sun visors, which is always set to black in purchased examples. It uses a set of industrial wheels derived from vehicles like the Benson, the Mule and the Phantom, with the rear ones being dual wheels.
Depending on which grille is installed, the Slamtruck features working secondary fog lights that were not functional on previous Slamvan variants. It also uses a truck horn identical to the one from trucks such as the Benson, the Mule and the Police Prison Bus.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
Similarly to the original Slamvan, the Slamtruck’s performance is considerably lackluster, and the additional weight and size only exaggerates the boat-like steering and control compared to its muscle counterpart. The additional weight also gives the Slamtruck some decent ramming capabilities, as it is able to push relatively light and standard vehicles with ease at high speeds. The Slamtruck is equipped with a functional, player-controlled hydraulic system, which operates in the same way that the Faction Custom Donk does.
Despite what the vehicle suggests, the Slamtruck cannot hold vehicles in the back, as they will simply slide off the ramp.
The vehicle is powered by what seems to be a V-shaped engine set half-way through the cab. Upon closer inspection with the Rockstar Editor camera, is revealed that only the front half of the engine is rendered and lacks any manifold, and while mostly hidden, the timing belt is fully-animated, in a similar manner to vehicles such as the Fränken Stange, the Hustler and the Phantom Wedge (though the pulleys remain static). The same engine is coupled to a 4-speed gearbox in a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, and shares the same sound with the Slamvan and its derivatives.

Trivia[]
- Despite utilizing the same hydraulic system featured on lowriders, the vehicle’s hydraulics cannot be activated via the interaction menu; this also applies to the Faction Donk.
- Some of the liveries derive from pre-existing ones featured in various vehicles:
- "Estancia Stripes" - "Hawk & Little Drag Colours" for the Impaler.
- "Premier Stripes" - "Premier Racer" for the Clique.
- "Stronzo 37" - "Stronzo Rally" for the Retinue.
- "Auto Exotic Stripes" - "Auto Exotic Black" for the Rapid GT Classic.
- "eCola 84" - "eCola Drag Colours" for the Impaler.
- "Hustle Time" - Same named livery for the Hustler.
- "Total Ride Motors" - Same named livery for the Brioso 300.
- "Dusche 42" - "Dusche Rally Team" for the Retinue.
- The Slamtruck has a livery #10 that based on the "Flywheels Garage" livery for the Peyote Gasser, but it was cut from the game for unknown reasons[1].
- The Slamtruck features a unique reversing beeper, being a higher-pitched variation of the one used in trucks like the Packer.
- The foglights added with the "Billet Grille" or "Secondary Billet Grille" light up when the headlights are switched to high-beams, and are much brighter than the high-beams are without these foglights. They cannot be physically broken with collisions, but they won't emit any light.
- When the player enters the vehicle while in first-person view, the entire view temporarily goes diagonal while the animation is happening instead of staying horizontal like every other truck.
Oversights[]
- The player has the option to color the stock rims of the Slamtruck when modifying it in a mod shop. This is an unusual oversight as it not only has no effect on the Slamtruck’s chrome wheels, but this option is usually locked out on other vehicles, stating "Sorry, colors are not available on stock wheels" if the player attempts to do so.
- When storing the Slamtruck inside an office garage, the player will spawn outside of the office and fall to their death after the cutscene. Changing the place of this vehicle inside the garage will cause it to either glitch through the wall or even outside the office.
- Changing the rims will cause the rear wheels to turn from duallys into single wide. However, thread marks from the rear tires will still be shown as duallys.
- The engine hood on the Slamtruck will fall off easily if the player approaches to it when opened.
- Because of its long body, the Slamtruck may clip through certain spawn points upon leaving a property garage (i.e. Pixel Pete's arcade).
