The Boxville's speed and handling is mostly the same as any large vehicle, with a top speed leveling off at around 111 miles per hour. Due to its large size and weight, it suffers from poor steering and handling, and its tires lose grip with the road much easier. Because of its high center of gravity, it is prone to tipping over if driven on rough, uneven terrain. However, its large size can be used as an advantage; It can easily ram smaller cars off the road. |

Template:Infobox vehicles
For the ice-cream version of the Boxville, see Mr Tasty.
The Brute Boxville is a multi-stop truck or walk-in delivery van featured in both 3D Universe and HD Universe.
Design
3D Universe
The Boxville has a rather generic design, and most closely resembles a Chevrolet or GMC Step Van that ranges from the late 1970s to the early 1990s.
In-game, looks very bulky and large with small thin wheels. All models are seen with different paintjob conditions. SA model looks very clean, VCS model features a semi faded paintjob at the bottom and the VC model looks with a more faded paintjob (more noticeable at the bottom).
While in the Boxville in Vice City looks very generic, the San Andreas version has a slightly curved roof and a smaller front fascia.
HD Universe
The body resembles the GMC Step Van. It is still the heaviest delivery van in all the GTA games. The vehicle is now manufactured by Brute and sounds heavier than before.
In the HD Universe, the Boxville now includes a bit rounded bodywork, smaller frontage and a bigger front bumper, while the rear bumper is now a step-side bumper for the cargo doors. This model, unlike previous renditions, doesn't "cut" the driver's compartment and the cargo compartment. Instead, features a small corridor that leads to the cargo compartment for an easier delivery.
In GTA IV, there are clean variants and "vandalized" variants, which the later one features a graffiti over the lower section of the side panels. However, in GTA V, there are no longer vandalized versions. The LSDS & LSDWP Boxvilles feature 4 strobe lights that can be activated, as well as some accessories, such roof frames, piping and 2 stacks of cones at the front.

Performance
3D Universe
The Boxville's speed and handling is mostly the same as any large vehicle, with a top speed leveling off at around 111 miles per hour. Due to its large size and weight, it suffers from poor steering and handling, and its tires lose grip with the road much easier. Because of its high center of gravity, it is prone to tipping over if driven on rough, uneven terrain. However, its large size can be used as an advantage; It can easily ram smaller cars off the road.
Grand Theft Auto IV
The Boxville in GTA IV has poor performance in most areas. The vehicle itself is extremely heavy, negating its ability to accelerate and maintain a reasonable speed, let alone gather a high top speed. The vehicle has slow handling, however, due to the weight and sheer size, it is able to ram other vehicles, especially compact cars and sedans, off the road. The truck has reasonable brakes, but are still mediocre and often fail to stop the vehicle in reasonable time.
The vehicle is powered by what sounds like a low-revving, low power 6-cylinder engine, with a high displacement, however, the in-game engine model is a twin-cam turbocharged Inline-4, in a front engine, rear wheel drive configuration. The engine is coupled up to, evidently by sound, a low-geared 4 speed transmission.
Grand Theft Auto V
The Boxville returns to GTA V mostly unchanged. The van returns with the exact same engine layout, albeit with more detail. The vehicle's performance specifications and overall speed remain unchanged, however, due to GTA V's new handling physics, the vehicle turns much quicker, with much better, stiffer suspension, which benefits in acceleration and braking rates, however, the vehicle is still extremely heavy and therefore outweighs the aforementioned benefits.
In the enhanced version, the engine sound is now changed. Instead of sharing the engine sound of the Mule, it now occupies an engine sound similar to the Surfer. This changes its 6-cylinder-alike engine sound to a low-revving, low-power V8 engine.
GTA V Overview

Variants
Burglary Boxville
The "Black" Boxville used for burglaries in GTA San Andreas.
GTA San Andreas features a specialized variant of the Boxville, referred officially as a Boxville, named internally in game files as a "boxburg" (a possible short form of "Boxville Burglary"), and unofficially dubbed the "Boxville Black" or "Black Boxville".
Differences from a standard Boxville include its unique dark gray body color and a quieter engine (using the same engine noise as the Pony). The van is integral to the game's burglary sub-missions that take place at night, and is prominently used in one mission where Carl Johnson has to steal Colonel Fuhrberger's weapons for Ryder before sunrise.
Humane Labs & Research Boxville
The "Humane Labs & Research" Boxville used in BZ Gas Grenades in GTA V being driven by Michael.
This Boxville appears only during the BZ Gas Grenades Heist Setup mission and the Humane Raid - Deliver EMP heist setup mission. It has a unique Humane Labs and Research livery.
It can be stolen during the mission and stored in safehouse garage only if the gas grenades are picked up first and then the van stolen.
This variant can be selected in the Content Creator.
Post OP Boxville
The Post OP Boxville.
This Boxville was added in the Heists Update. It appears during the Pacific Standard - Vans heist setup mission, and is unlocked after the mission. It has a unique Post OP livery.
