Not to be confused with Lost Slamvan, a variant of the Slamvan also named "Slamvan" pre-GTA Online.
The Slamvan is a pickup truck featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Festive Surprise update. It is manufactured by Vapid in the HD Universe.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
The Slamvan resembles a heavily customized second generation GMC C1500, with a chopped roof, bumper delete, and custom suspension. It appears to have been based on a particular "Hammered" build made by one Jim Bayne and shown in Motortrend magazine around the time when the game was being developed.
The Slamvan is depicted as a custom 2-door pickup truck with dual circular headlights, a small cabin, a black bed cover and rectangular tail lights. Sometimes the Slamvan will spawn with a custom chain steering wheel. The vehicle only spawns in a variety of single colors.
In the beta version, the Slamvan had a different wheel design and paint job not seen in the final version.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Slamvan is based on the second generation Ford F-Series pickup with some cues from the Chevrolet Advance Design. The top half of the cabin suggests that it is a 1953–1955 model, whereas 1956 models had a wrap-around windshield.
The Slamvan is depicted as a classic pickup truck sharing the same front design as its van equivalent (reintroduced under a different name), but featuring a truck bed and rear-facing split window. The truck bed looks similar to the Bobcat from Grand Theft Auto IV, but has side border extensions, wooden floor and a tailgate with "VAPID" embossed on it. The rear bumper and tail lights were derived from the Towtruck (another vehicle that shares many similarities in terms of design), albeit cleaner in appearance. The interior uses "Bobcat" textures and dials.
The primary color of the vehicle is applied on the main body, while the secondary color is applied on the hood, upper part of the cabin and the upper borders of the bed. It shares the same wheel design as the Towtruck, being a derivative of the "Classic Rod" wheels also available in Los Santos Customs.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
The Slamvan is quite nimble and comfortable to drive due to its supercharged V8 and upgraded suspension. It possesses good acceleration and average top speed. Its brakes are also strong, being capable of quickly stopping from top speed to zero; its downsides however, is the arguably poor durability and stability, and despite its low height, it can still rollover easily.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Slamvan has a customized V8 with four double-barrel carburetors, with a sound similar to the Duke O'Death, The Liberator, and Marshall. In-game stat bars and testing has shown it has the same performance as the Rat-Loader and its clean variant, the Rat-Truck. Thus, it has average acceleration and top speed, matched with very poor brakes and traction.
