Scrap Truck

Overview

The Scrap Truck is a heavy-duty vehicle featured in Grand Theft Auto V. It is primarily used for collecting and transporting scrap materials, making it a staple for industrial and utility tasks within the game. Its design is utilitarian, with a focus on functionality over aesthetics.
