The Brute Tipper is a dump truck in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Design
Grand Theft Auto V
The Tipper is a dump truck that serves in construction areas and operated by Skiver Construction Corporation. As with some vehicles in the game, the Tipper has two variants, which both differ slightly in terms of exterior design. Both trucks have similar chassis and identical performance specs. Both trucks also have a modern interior compared to their older exterior design.
The 1st model is depicted as a 10-wheeler truck with three axles and the second model as a 6-wheeled truck with two axles (considering the rear wheels in a heavy vehicle are in a double configuration).
- First generation
The first generation of the Tipper is strongly based on the Ford L8000 Dump Truck with influences from the Mack R688 Dump Truck. It has single headlights and a slightly rusted body. It also appears to have a cylindrical air filter on the right side of its cabin. Strangely, this variant of the Tipper lacks frontal turn signals.
- Second generation
The second variant of the Tipper appears to be slightly newer than the first, with an updated exterior design, closely resembling the second generation Chevy Kodiak/GMC TopKick such as the side profile of the fenders and overall cab design. It has two double headlights, a different shaped grille, and a more streamlined front end. This variant also has two turn signals placed on top of each front wheel arch, and it lacks an air filter on its side.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto V
The performance is that of an average heavy truck with slow acceleration but remarkable top speed. The Tipper has a very large turning radius, however, and its heavy handling leaves much to be desired. However, its heavy weight can be used to the player's advantage, as the Tipper can easily push smaller cars out of the way.
