For the sports car featured in Grand Theft Auto 2, see Benson.

The Benson is a truck appearing in both the 3D Universe and the HD Universe. It is manufactured by Vapid in the HD Universe.

Design

3D Universe

In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the Benson name was applied to a very different type of vehicle: a van. This version of the Benson resembles a 1979 Ford F-Series cube van with a "luton" cargo compartment. In GTA San Andreas, it is available in several different designs, and appears in red and blue body in GTA Vice City Stories.

The Benson in GTA San Andreas has the incorrect engine sound, as it makes a heavy truck sound, instead of a light/medium truck sound, which the Yankee incorrectly has too.

Grand Theft Auto IV

Manufactured by Vapid in Grand Theft Auto IV, the Benson is much larger. The design of the Benson now takes a much longer appearance and is also much lower down, meaning it is also less likely to roll over in fast cornering. It has a bottler truck body-style, though certain versions (such as the mail truck) don't utilize its initial function. The Benson is heavily based on the International 4700 delivery truck chassis. The truck features side shutters, a rear trolley and loading bay (albeit non-functional). The truck also comes with a push bar on the front reused from the Enforcer.

The Benson appears with 6 different liveries; Burger Shot, Cluckin' Bell, Sprunk, Mr. Wong's Laundrette, Post OP, and Truck You!. It may also appear blank.

The truck is split into two colors; the cabin is painted in the primary color, while the rear unit is painted in a secondary color. The vehicle only has two spawn colors, however.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online

The Benson returns to Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, with an almost identical design as GTA IV. The truck is now primarily used as a moving truck as opposed to a bottler truck, and as such, lacks the rear trolley and loading bay, and in their place, a new ramp door is found, hinged from the bottom. The side handles have been moved up to compensate for the larger door, and new marker lights have been added. The front pushbar has also been replaced with a much larger, heavy duty pushbar reused from the Hauler, and the front bumper itself is plastic as opposed to chrome. The grille has also been changed, and no longer features 3D horizontal parts. The passenger-side step marker light has also been removed. The side shutters also lack the original depth they did in GTA IV, and are now flat.

An interior has been added to the truck. Cars and motorcycles can be transported in the back of the Benson by lowering the rear door (by either shooting it several times, or ramming it with a nearby obstacle or vehicle), however vehicles stored in the truck tend to become stuck in the vehicle and often explode, or slide out, unexpectedly.

The vehicle is now painted in a single color as opposed to its previous iteration of two colors. The vehicle also has 6 brand-new liveries.

The Benson is fitted with a CB radio, and occasional trucker chatter can be heard regardless of whether the main radio is turned on or off. The chatter will only play if playing as Trevor and in Blaine County.

Performance

3D Universe

Being the smallest cube van between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the Benson has a decent top speed and quick acceleration, and has room for two people including the driver. However, it is prone to flipping over easily on rough terrain and when turning around corners at high speeds. It has no special features. The Benson is quite vulnerable to bullet damage in GTA San Andreas, although it can withstand a lot of damage before catching fire.

Players can even do donuts in it by steering in the slightest possible angle (almost straight) and, naturally, by also quickly accelerating. This can be done on the PC by using an analog controller (such as a PS2 controller through a USB converter), but not with the keyboard due to a cap on the number of simultaneous key strokes that can be accepted.

The performance of the van has been improved in GTA Vice City Stories in comparison to its former counterparts. It is now an all-wheel-drive vehicle instead of rear wheel drive. The mass of the vehicle has also been reduced, while its top speed is now higher. Its stats are shared with the Boxville.

Grand Theft Auto IV

Being an enlarged truck in GTA IV, the Benson obviously suffers from poor steering, as well as a slow acceleration, but far from the worst in the game. However, the truck can achieve fairly moderate top speeds, but it will take ages to get there due to the poor acceleration. In addition, its weight does not help when the player needs to stop the vehicle while it is going high speeds. Also its ability to soak up bullets is an advantage for when the player is attempting to escape gang members or police. Being extremely heavy, the Benson can shove traffic out of its way and keep going with ease.

The badges mark the vehicle as an intercooled truck with a V8 engine. Despite its size, it sports standard disc brakes as oppose to air brakes found on trucks of a similar size, such as the Packer.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online

The Benson in GTA V and GTA Online performs much better than its GTA IV appearance. Its speed seems to to have improved since its last appearance, however acceleration still leaves much to be desired, not to mention the low-geared setup, meaning it takes many shifts before it can finally begin to pick up a great deal of speed, which can be a major downfall on pursuits, even despite its acceleration improvements from its last rendition. Its brute strength can withstand a barrage of bullets, making it a highly durable vehicle. The vehicle weighs slightly less than its previous appearance, but still retains its ability to push vehicles out of the way with relative ease.

The engine model appears to be a twin-cam inline-4 with a fitted turbocharger, despite the badges indicating it has a V8 engine. The Benson's engine sound is shared with the Mule, Police Riot and Stockade, however, the Benson seems to reach higher revolutions than the aforementioned trucks.

Trivia

General

A vehicle resembling the Benson can be found in Rockstar North's Manhunt. It has a unique blue and white Carcer Move livery. This Benson has smaller wheels, a longer roof and container. It closely resembles the HD Universe Benson rather than the 3D Universe Benson.

Grand Theft Auto IV

If the player drives a Benson, Securicars may eventually appear.
Despite claiming to be an intercooled V8 engine, the in-game model is actually a turbocharged 4-cylinder, without an intercooler.

Grand Theft Auto V

In Franklin's trailer, the Benson is seen with the original GTA IV pushbar, chrome bumper and 3D grille during The Jewel Store Job escape segment.

Bugs/Glitches

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

If the player finds a way to get up and stand on the hood of a Benson that is being driven by an NPC, and the Benson moves forward, Tommy will fall down into the cab. When he gets up, he will be stuck halfway inside the cab, with his head protruding from the roof. He will not be able to get out unless the Benson crashes, where he will pop out and appear standing on its roof.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online

Pulling a dead body from a Benson will cause an animation glitch where the character will first sit inside the Benson, clipping through the body, and subsequently push it outside.

+{{Disambiglink|For the sports car featured in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], see [[Benson (car)|Benson]].}}
+The '''Benson''' is a truck appearing in both the [[3D Universe]] and the [[HD Universe]]. It is manufactured by [[Vapid]] in the HD Universe.
+== Design ==
-The [[Vapid]] '''Benson''' is a sports car which first appeared in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], and also a cube van/truck in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and later games.
+===3D Universe===
+In ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'', ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'', and ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]'', the Benson name was applied to a very different type of vehicle: a van. This version of the Benson resembles a {{WP|Ford F-Series (sixth generation)|1979 Ford F-Series}} cube van with a "{{WP|Luton body|luton}}" cargo compartment. In ''GTA San Andreas'', it is available in several different designs, and appears in red and blue body in ''GTA Vice City Stories''.
+The Benson in ''GTA San Andreas'' has the incorrect engine sound, as it makes a heavy truck sound, instead of a light/medium truck sound, which the Yankee incorrectly has too.
-In all, the Benson has appeared in the following games:
-* [[Grand Theft Auto 2]]
+===''Grand Theft Auto IV''===
+Manufactured by [[Vapid]] in ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', the Benson is much larger. The design of the Benson now takes a much longer appearance and is also much lower down, meaning it is also less likely to roll over in fast cornering. It has a bottler truck body-style, though certain versions (such as the mail truck) don't utilize its initial function. The Benson is heavily based on the [http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5183/5651365560_194e23505c.jpg International 4700 delivery truck chassis]. The truck features side shutters, a rear trolley and loading bay (albeit non-functional). The truck also comes with a push bar on the front reused from the [[Enforcer]].
-* [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]
-* [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]
-* [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]
-* [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]
-* [[Grand Theft Auto V]]
+The Benson appears with 6 different liveries; [[Burger Shot]], [[Cluckin' Bell]], [[Sprunk]], [[Mr. Wong's Laundrette]], [[Post OP]], and [[Truck You!]]. It may also appear blank.
-== Design ==
-=== GTA 2 ===
-[[Image:Benson-GTA2.png|thumb|180px|The Benson in GTA 2.]]
-[[Image:Benson-GTA2-ingame.jpg|thumb|200px|A Benson with its lights on in GTA 2.]]
+The truck is split into two colors; the cabin is painted in the primary color, while the rear unit is painted in a secondary color. The vehicle only has two spawn colors, however.
-In [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], the Benson is a [[Vehicles in GTA 2|sports car]]. It is suggestively based on the [[wp:Mercedes-Benz 300SL|Mercedes-Benz 300SL]], evidenced by the Benson's similar body design, as well as its gull-wing doors and its name being similar to the Mercedes-Benz car brand. The only difference is the 300SL does not feature split frontal and rear windscreens, as the Benson has.
+===''Grand Theft Auto V'' and ''Online''===
-=== GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories ===
+The Benson returns to ''Grand Theft Auto V'' and ''Grand Theft Auto Online'', with an almost identical design as ''GTA IV''. The truck is now primarily used as a moving truck as opposed to a bottler truck, and as such, lacks the rear trolley and loading bay, and in their place, a new ramp door is found, hinged from the bottom. The side handles have been moved up to compensate for the larger door, and new marker lights have been added. The front pushbar has also been replaced with a much larger, heavy duty pushbar reused from the [[Hauler]], and the front bumper itself is plastic as opposed to chrome. The grille has also been changed, and no longer features 3D horizontal parts. The passenger-side step marker light has also been removed. The side shutters also lack the original depth they did in ''GTA IV'', and are now flat.
-In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], the Benson name was applied to a very different type of vehicle: a van. This version of the Benson resembles a 1978 or 1979 [[wp:Ford E-Series|Ford (E-Series)]] cube van with a "[[wp:luton|luton]]" cargo compartment. In San Andreas, it is available in several different designs, and appears in red and blue body in Vice City Stories.
+An interior has been added to the truck. Cars and motorcycles can be transported in the back of the Benson by lowering the rear door (by either shooting it several times, or ramming it with a nearby obstacle or vehicle), however vehicles stored in the truck tend to become stuck in the vehicle and often explode, or slide out, unexpectedly.
-The Benson in GTA San Andreas has the wrong engine sound, as it makes a heavy truck sound but should make the light/medium truck sound, which the Yankee incorrectly has. In the PC version, this can be fixed by swapping the ID numbers of the Yankee and Benson in the vehicles.ide file. Unlike missing wheel in [[DFT-30]] and [[Beagle]] in [[Fort Carson]], it can't downloaded in Xbox version.
+The vehicle is now painted in a single color as opposed to its previous iteration of two colors. The vehicle also has 6 brand-new liveries.
-{| align="center"
-|<gallery width="auto" perrow="4" style="font-size:95%; padding:0;" widths="180">
+The Benson is fitted with a CB radio, and occasional trucker chatter can be heard regardless of whether the main radio is turned on or off. The chatter will only play if playing as [[Trevor Philips|Trevor]] and in [[Blaine County]].

+==Performance==
+===3D Universe===
+Being the smallest cube van between ''GTA Vice City'' and ''GTA Vice City Stories'', the Benson has a decent top speed and quick acceleration, and has room for two people including the driver. However, it is prone to flipping over easily on rough terrain and when turning around corners at high speeds. It has no special features. The Benson is quite vulnerable to bullet damage in ''GTA San Andreas'', although it can withstand a lot of damage before catching fire.
+Players can even do {{WP|Doughnut (driving)|donuts}} in it by steering in the slightest possible angle (almost straight) and, naturally, by also quickly accelerating. This can be done on the PC by using an analog controller (such as a PS2 controller through a USB converter), but not with the keyboard due to a cap on the number of simultaneous key strokes that can be accepted.
+The performance of the van has been improved in ''GTA Vice City Stories'' in comparison to its former counterparts. It is now an all-wheel-drive vehicle instead of rear wheel drive. The mass of the vehicle has also been reduced, while its top speed is now higher. Its stats are shared with the [[Boxville]].

+===''Grand Theft Auto IV''===
+Being an enlarged truck in ''GTA IV'', the Benson obviously suffers from poor steering, as well as a slow acceleration, but far from the worst in the game. However, the truck can achieve fairly moderate top speeds, but it will take ages to get there due to the poor acceleration. In addition, its weight does not help when the player needs to stop the vehicle while it is going high speeds. Also its ability to soak up bullets is an advantage for when the player is attempting to escape gang members or police. Being extremely heavy, the Benson can shove traffic out of its way and keep going with ease.
+The badges mark the vehicle as an intercooled truck with a V8 engine. Despite its size, it sports standard disc brakes as oppose to air brakes found on trucks of a similar size, such as the [[Packer]].

+}}
+===''Grand Theft Auto V'' and ''Online''===
+The Benson in ''GTA V'' and ''GTA Online'' performs much better than its ''GTA IV'' appearance. Its speed seems to to have improved since its last appearance, however acceleration still leaves much to be desired, not to mention the low-geared setup, meaning it takes many shifts before it can finally begin to pick up a great deal of speed, which can be a major downfall on pursuits, even despite its acceleration improvements from its last rendition. Its brute strength can withstand a barrage of bullets, making it a highly durable vehicle. The vehicle weighs slightly less than its previous appearance, but still retains its ability to push vehicles out of the way with relative ease.
+The engine model appears to be a twin-cam inline-4 with a fitted turbocharger, despite the badges indicating it has a V8 engine. The Benson's engine sound is shared with the [[Mule]], [[Police Riot]] and [[Stockade]], however, the Benson seems to reach higher revolutions than the aforementioned trucks.

-Manufactured by [[Vapid]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the Benson is much larger (the heaviest car in the game, according to the game files). The GTA IV version also has less tendency to roll over. It has a bottler truck body-style, though certain versions (such as the mail truck) don't emphasize its function. The cab resembles an [[WP:Navistar International|1989-2001 International 4000 Series]]; the design, however, is much different than the [[Brute]] [[Securicar]], which is based on the same truck series. The Benson's engine is an intercooled V8. Unlike previous versions, the[[File:Benson_badges.png|thumb|Badging on the Benson.]] GTA IV Benson has a massive grille guard. Company logos appearing on the Benson include those of [[Burger Shot]], [[Cluckin' Bell]], [[Sprunk]], [[Mr. Wong's Laundrette]], [[Post Op]], and [[Truck You!]].
+===''Grand Theft Auto IV''===
-In GTA IV same as Mule, Benson does not power with air-brake but instead, it powers with disc/disk-brake and/or drum brake which is rather odd for a heavy [[File:Benson_signs.png|thumb|Company liveries: Burger Shot, Post Op, Mr. Wong's Launderette, Sprunk, Cluckin' Bell, Truck You Removals.]]vehicle.

-The Benson in GTA 2 is noted for its substantial top speed, but at the same time it suffers from delayed acceleration due to slow gear-shifting as the car speeds up. And while the car features good braking, the Benson suffers from occasional tailspins when cornering at high speeds.

The Benson full of goods must be stolen from [[Little Haiti (3D Universe)|Little Haiti]], and delivered to [[Marty Jay Williams|Marty's lockup]] in Viceport.
+*[[Waking Up the Neighbors]] - Victor needs to destroy three Bensons owned by the [[Cholos]].
+*[[Farewell To Arms]] - Victor must protect several Bensons used by [[Gonzalez' Crew|Gonzalez' men]] to prevent the [[Streetwannabe's|Sharks]] from entering the [[Escobar International Airport|airport]].
+*[[Empire Building]] - The Benson is one of the two vehicles (along with the [[PCJ-600]]) that must be repossessed in order to develop the [[Loan Shark]] business.
+===''Grand Theft Auto IV''===
-=== GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories ===
+*A Benson is seen blocking the road at the end of the chase between [[Ivan Bytchkov|Ivan]] and [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] in the mission [[Ivan the Not So Terrible]]. The player is able to take it if he can get to it before the driver leaves.
-Being the smallest cube van between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the Benson has a decent top speed and quick acceleration, and has room for 2 people including the driver and is the in the GTA III era games. However, it is prone to flipping over easily on rough terrain and when turning around corners at high speeds. It has no special features. The Benson is quite vulnerable to bullet damage in GTA San Andreas although it can withstand a lot of damage before catching fire.
+===''Grand Theft Auto V''===
+*Appears in [[Franklin and Lamar]] as a blockade, reversing out into a main road, redirecting Franklin and Lamar through a back street parking area.
+*Used during the first [[Heists|heist]], [[The Jewel Store Job]], which involves [[Michael De Santa|Michael]] ramming it into [[Police Interceptor|Police Cruisers]].
+*May appear as an alcohol deliver van during a side mission for the purchasable [[Properties in GTA V|property]], [[Pitchers]] for Michael. This variant is white and blank.
+===''Grand Theft Auto Online''===
-Players can even do doughnuts in it by steering it in the slightest possible angle (almost straight) and, naturally, putting the virtual foot to the floor. This can be done on the PC by using an analog controller (such as a PS2 controller through a USB converter), but not with the keyboard due to a cap on the number of simultaneous key strokes that can be accepted.
+*Must be stolen during [[Stick Up the Stickup Crew]].
+;Heists
-=== GTA IV ===
+*Two blank black Bensons must be acquired during the [[Series A - Weed]] heist setup.
-Being an enlarged truck in GTA IV, the Benson obviously suffers from poor steering, as well as a slow acceleration, but far from the worst in the game. However, the truck can achieve fairly moderate top speeds at 126 mph, but it will take ages to get there due to the poor acceleration. In addition, its weight does not help when the player needs to stop the vehicle while it is going high speeds. Also it's ability to soak up bullets is an advantage for when the player is attempting to escape gang members or police. Being extremely heavy, the Benson can shove traffic out of its way and keep going with ease.
+;Special Cargo
-=== GTA V ===
+*Used as blockades in [[Special Cargo]] [[Special Cargo/Steal Missions|Steal Missions]], ready to block the end of alleyways where deals are made, acting as an ambush.
-As not much has emerged yet, we have seen the Benson in Trailer 2 and in [[Franklin]]'s Trailer. The design has remained un-changed from [[GTA IV]].[[File:Images-bensonfront.v.jpg|thumb|Benson in [[GTAV]] with a Boys Pills livery on the side of the truck.  ]][[File:Benson-GTAV-front.png|thumb|Benson in [[GTAV]] with a Logger Light livery.]]
+;Business Supplies
-== Trivia==
+*May appear in a [[Business Supplies]] [[Business Supplies/Steal Missions|Steal Mission]] as a transport vehicle at numerous drop-off destinations. The player uses [[Bagger]]s to transport business goods and deliver them to locations where a Benson will be ready to take the Bagger on-board.
+;Special Vehicle Work
-* The Benson plays the following radio stations when entered:
+*Used by the [[The Lost MC|Lost MC]] in the mission [[Cleanup Op]], as their supply trucks for their [[Methamphetamine|methamphetamine]] operation. These must be destroyed.
-**'''''GTA Vice City + GTA Vice City Stories''''': [[V-Rock]].
+*One can be seen in the mission [[Asset Seizure]], in the first drug bust area.
-**'''''GTA San Andreas''''': [[K-Rose]].
-**'''''GTA IV''''': [[The Beat 102.7]] or [[The Classics 104.1]].
-**'''''GTA V''''': [[Radio Mirror Park]].
-* A [[w:c:manhunt:Benson|vehicle resembling the Benson]] can be found in [[Rockstar North]]'s [[Manhunt]].
-* If the player drives a Benson, [[Securicar]]s may eventually appear. This occurs most likely in Bohan.
-* In [[GTA IV]], there is a glitch where you can walk through the front wheels of the Benson.
-* In GTA Vice City, if the player finds a way to get up and stand on the hood of a Benson that is being driven by an NPC, and the Benson moves forward, Tommy will fall down into the cab. When he gets up, he will be stuck halfway inside the cab, with his head portruding from the roof. He will not be able to get out unless the Benson crashes, where he will pop out and appear standing on its roof.
-* In GTA IV, like the [[Bus]] and [[Yankee]], as well as the [[APC]] ([[TBOGT]]), it will fall into blue hell and spin for a while before landing back on the street when the [[Swingset Glitch]] is executed in a Benson.
-* The change of the Benson from a sports car to a truck is similar to that of the [[Perennial]], which was a '60s station wagon in older games and a futuristic minivan in [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]].
