The Slamvan road-going merit lies in its raw power the truck has good acceleration and can reach very high top speeds along a straightway - especially with nitrous equipped, and is easy to stop and corner due to its lighter weight. Slamvans equipped with hydraulics can be used to enter the Lowrider Challenge at Unity Station, Los Santos. Like other lowriders in the game, certain traffic-spawned Slamvan's may come readily equipped with hydraulics. The truck may also appear with a custom chain steering wheel. In GTA San Andreas the Slamvan resembles a heavily customized 1967-1972 GMC C/K, in fact, it appears to be based on Jim Bayne's customized 1968 GMC truck.
