For the truck featured in Grand Theft Auto Online, see Walton L35.
The Walton is a vehicle featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Design[]
3D Universe[]
Throughout its appearance, the Walton resembles a 1955 Chevrolet Task Force with the front of a 1954/1955 Chevrolet Advance Design, it also features a small stake bed, which provides a decent sized flat surface area, making it a suitable sniper platform.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Walton often spawns with random cargo in the bed, such as wooden crates, cardboard boxes, or Carcer Gas propane tanks (which do not explode when shot). Occasionally the bed is empty. These items remain in the bed and will not fall out if driving off-road or if the player crashes. The GTA San Andreas rendition of the Walton features a tailgate, which the GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories renditions do not. There is also a wrecked Walton in front of Catalina's hideout in Fern Ridge, Red County, San Andreas.
Performance[]
3D Universe[]
The road-going capabilities of the Walton are underwhelming in most games. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the Walton possesses below-average acceleration and speed, and sluggish controls, owing to its age, weight and size.
The engine power of the Walton is even worse in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, where the truck often struggles to climb steep inclines. Despite being under-powered, it has decent off-roading capabilities, typical of any pickup truck in the game. It is also very sturdy and can withstand a lot of damage. It has the same engine sound as the Tractor and the Dozer.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the performance of the Walton is enhanced. The vehicle has more gears than its other counterparts (5 instead of 4), has a higher top speed and is lighter in mass.

Special Variants[]
In both Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the color white is not normally available on any Walton, except during missions.
- In GTA Vice City, four white Waltons will appear during "Gun Runner" as transport vehicles for a gang of gun runners which the player must eliminate. While the player can in fact the kill the driver of any of the Waltons with a sniper rifle and commandeer one, the player must destroy all the Waltons as well to complete the mission. A workaround to this is simple; the player will simply need to collect all of the weapons, then place the last working Walton in a garage and destroy it (thereby passing the mission). After the garage door is closed, the wrecked Walton will reappear in working order when the garage is reopened.
- For Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, a white Walton plays a crucial role during "Madd Dogg", when the player must save a drunken Madd Dogg from falling to his death by taking the truck parked nearby and aligning the truck's box-filled bed with Madd Dogg as he is about to jump from a ledge. Once Madd Dogg lands on the bed, the player must then drive him to a rehabilitation clinic, completing the mission. The player may then store the truck in a garage. Alternately, the player can also fail the mission by opting not to save Madd Dogg and still acquire the truck nevertheless. The truck is also bullet-proof and melee-proof.
