Pounder

The Pounder is a robust industrial truck featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. This heavy-duty vehicle is manufactured by MTL in the game, drawing inspiration from real-world trucks such as the International 4700 Series. Designed for durability, the Pounder is ideal for transporting large cargo and for players looking to undertake heavy hauling Missions within the game.

Vehicle Overview

Design

The Pounder is a large, heavy-duty industrial truck that embodies the utilitarian aesthetics suited for transporting goods across the expansive environment of Los Santos. It features a robust boxy design with a sizable cargo space, reinforced bumpers, and dual rear wheels, typifying its role as a dependable commercial vehicle.

Performance

The Pounder is built for power rather than speed, with a focus on carrying heavy loads over long distances. Its performance is characterized by substantial torque, enabling it to handle steep inclines and heavy cargo. However, its weight and size result in slow acceleration and reduced maneuverability, requiring careful handling in tight city streets.

Customization

At Los Santos Customs, the Pounder can be modified to enhance its workhorse capabilities. Options include engine upgrades for increased torque and better handling packages for improved stability. Cosmetic upgrades, such as liveries and company logos, allow players to give their Pounder a distinctive look, in line with its industrial purpose.
