− | '''Monster trucks''' are basically vehicles with large tires, built on heavy duty chassis. The vehicle has existed in two forms in the Grand Theft Auto series, firstly as three different variants all known simply as the '''Monster''' in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and the aptly named '''Monster Truck''' in [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]]. |
||
+ | ===''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas''=== |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | Generally, its acceleration and top speed are only average, making the vehicle unsuitable for high-speed driving. However, the vehicle compensates with good handling and off-road capabilities, being able to drive up steep terrain and traverse bumpy obstacles. In place of a handbrake turn, the Monster features a four-wheel steering "mode", where the rear tires will also turn alongside the front ones, reducing its turning radius. In addition, the Monster, much like the [[Dumper]], is capable of running over smaller vehicles and subjecting them to a moderate rate of damage; this ability can, however, risk flipping the Monster. |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | |||
− | In GTA San Andreas, three variants of the monster truck exist. However, these differences are only cosmetic as all Monsters share roughly the same chassis design and wheels, as well as being based on pick-up trucks. While all variants are known simply as the "Monster", each variant features a different internal name. |
||
⚫ | Whilst the vehicle is very stable while upright, the vehicle can rest sideways or upside down if it flips from a crash or has tumbled down very rough terrain, due to its evenly heavy design. With usage on urban roads, the vehicle's larger size increases the susceptibility of the player hitting vehicles and street furniture. |
||
− | The three variants of the Monster, as identified by their internal names, include: |
||
− | * ''monster'', a basic two tone-color variant which varies only by its body color. It is also the only version of the Monster which can be visually damaged - at the doors. The truck's body resembles a 1994–2004 [[wp:Chevrolet S-10|Chevrolet S-10]], resulting in a vehicle that may be anachronistic in the game's [[1992]] setting. |
||
− | * ''monstera'', distinguished by its red, blue, white and yellow racing paintwork, and includes various configurations of accessories, including a bed-mounted rollbar with attached lights, roof-mounted lights, a roof-mounted spoiler, or nothing at all. The truck body resembles that of a seventh generation [[wp:Ford F-Series|Ford F-Series]]. |
||
− | * ''monsterb'', a [[Yosemite]]-based variant with widened wheel arches, a custom blue, red and white paintwork, a checkered roof design, and a permanent roof-mounted spoiler. The ''monsterb'' may come with or without four roof-mounted headlights. |
||
+ | The vehicle uses a petrol engine with a 5-speed gearbox and an all-wheel-drive layout, and it uses a distinctively loud engine sound, likely to denote its immense power delivered to the large wheels. |

For the mission with similar name in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, see Monster (mission).
The Monster Truck (or simply Monster) is a vehicle featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto Advance.
Design
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Monster is depicted as a generic two-door pickup truck that appear to be a "Stage Three" monster truck, with a tubular chassis, four-link suspension and nitrogen gas shocks. However, it also appears to have a real metal body, whereas "Stage Three" monster trucks use fiberglass replica bodies. The vehicle always has a black cover on the bed, single red tail lights and a red chassis with the tubular frames exposed.
The vehicle resembles a 1992-1997 Ford F-series, with the headlight design of a 1994-1997 Chevrolet S-10. It has painted bumpers and a rectangular grille in the front with two horizontal and two vertical elements, followed by single headlights with amber indicators beside them. It is also the only version of the Monster which can be visually damaged – at the doors. The vehicle spawns in a white/light gray primary body color with a variety of secondary colors applied to the bumpers, lower portions and wheel arches (sometimes the same color as the primary, resulting in a single body color scheme).
The vehicle uses large-profile tires with wide track and a detailed tread pattern.
Grand Theft Auto Advance
In Grand Theft Auto Advance, the Monster Truck's design is vague due to the top-down viewpoint, but it seems to take influence from Grand Theft Auto III's Bobcat (although bigger), which is based on a fifth generation Toyota Hilux. The vehicle lacks a bed cover and only spawns in a variety of single colors.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The overall performance of any variant of the Monster depends on where the vehicle is driven. Overall, the Monster is more suited for off-road driving, and performance stats between all variants of the Monster are identical.
Generally, its acceleration and top speed are only average, making the vehicle unsuitable for high-speed driving. However, the vehicle compensates with good handling and off-road capabilities, being able to drive up steep terrain and traverse bumpy obstacles. In place of a handbrake turn, the Monster features a four-wheel steering "mode", where the rear tires will also turn alongside the front ones, reducing its turning radius. In addition, the Monster, much like the Dumper, is capable of running over smaller vehicles and subjecting them to a moderate rate of damage; this ability can, however, risk flipping the Monster.
Whilst the vehicle is very stable while upright, the vehicle can rest sideways or upside down if it flips from a crash or has tumbled down very rough terrain, due to its evenly heavy design. With usage on urban roads, the vehicle's larger size increases the susceptibility of the player hitting vehicles and street furniture.
The vehicle uses a petrol engine with a 5-speed gearbox and an all-wheel-drive layout, and it uses a distinctively loud engine sound, likely to denote its immense power delivered to the large wheels.
