| ā | In GTA IV, the Tug, also referred to internally as the '''Tuga''', is designed as a very large boat, by far the largest controllable vehicle in the game, and second largest in the entire series thus far, after the [[AT-400]], boasting a huge and sturdy [[wp:Hull (watercraft)|hull]], and a three-story [[wp:superstructure|superstructure]] (including a [[wp:funnel|funnel]]) with the [[wp:Bridge (nautical)|bridge]] attached on the top (other portions of the superstructure are inaccessible). The Tug Boat has an obvious industrial use in GTA IV, and it is most likely used to move the large garbage boats dotted around the cities waters. |

| ā | The Tug can only properly contain one person in multiplayer (the driver), although others can still stand on the deck at the expense of losing some control of their characters; when the boat is moving, passengers will also begin to glide off slowly; alternately, passengers can cling onto the sides of the boat by jumping once and holding on to the side of the boat without climbing up onto the hull. Also, if anyone stands at the front of the boat they will actually pass through the superstructure and see the water beneath. |

Tug is an airtug featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Template:Infobox vehicles
Description
GTA San Andreas
The Tug in GTA San Andreas is designed as a haul-pulling tug similar to the game's Baggage, except the Tug is far more compact and enclosed, with only one seat, no cargo hold (the Tug only carries a fire extinguisher in the rear), and a closed driver compartment; like the Baggage, however, the Tug is also consistently painted white. While featuring a stationary tow hitch similar to the Baggage, it is not capable of towing anything. Contrary to its appearance, the Tug has a high overall speed but low acceleration.
It can be assumed the Tug is adopted for used in other locations other than airports, as it is also present in an underground government base.

- When using the carnival cheat, Tugs have lowrider suspension.
- The default radio station in the Tug is K-DST.
- Strangely, if the player carjacks the Tug from the right side, the Tug will accelerate and begin driving away, as if it had a driver in the left seat. However, the Tug has only one seat.
- Despite its appearance, the Tug boosts the player's sex appeal.
- With its three characters, the Tug is one of the four 2nd shortest-named vehicles, alongside with the Bus, Jet and BMX, the shortest being the 9F in Grand Theft Auto V.
