Boxville

"Make your deliveries in rain or shine, snow or sleet, but not high winds because this guy can barely get around corners without taking a tumble."

- Post OP variant, Warstock Cache & Carry description.

The Boxville is a multi-stop truck or walk-in delivery van featured in both 3D Universe and HD Universe. It is manufactured by Brute in the HD Universe.

3D Universe
The Boxville has a rather boxy design in all of its appearances, and most closely resembles a Chevrolet or GMC Step Van that ranges from the late 1970s to the early 1990s.

The Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories rendition is very bulky and large with small thin wheels, with different paint job conditions (being the Vice City model with the most faded paint job at the bottom). The San Andreas rendition, however, has a slightly curved roof and a smaller front fascia, as well as a cleaner paintjob.

Grand Theft Auto IV
The Boxville still assumes some of the influences from the GMC Step Van, but unlike the 3D Universe renditions, it is less bulkier, resulting in a light and versatile vehicle. It is still the heaviest delivery van in all the GTA games.

The Boxville now includes a bit rounded bodywork, smaller frontage and a bigger front bumper, while the rear bumper is now a step-side bumper for the cargo doors. This model, unlike previous renditions, does not "cut" the driver's compartment and the cargo compartment. Instead, features a small corridor that leads to the cargo compartment.

In Grand Theft Auto IV, all Boxvilles are not operated by a specific company, as all of them are blanks in the city. However, there are clean and "vandalized" variants, which the later one features a graffiti over the lower section of the side panels.

Grand Theft Auto V
For Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, the Boxville suffered a significant overhaul, as there are no longer vandalized versions and are primarily used by GoPostal, where they feature a white/blue color. There is also a "service" variation used by Los Santos Department of Sanitation and Los Santos Department of Water & Power, where these feature four strobe lights that can be activated, as well as several objects, such roof frames, piping and two stacks of cones at the front.

Grand Theft Auto Online
A Boxville with a unique Post OP livery was added in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Heists Update. It is beige with a brown stripe on either side, where it features the company's logo.

3D Universe
The Boxville's speed and handling is mostly the same as any large vehicle. Due to its large size and weight, it suffers from poor steering and handling, and its tires lose grip with the road much easier. Because of its high center of gravity, it is prone to tipping over if driven on rough, uneven terrain. However, its large size can be used as an advantage; It can easily ram smaller cars off the road.

The Boxville in GTA San Andreas has a horn nearly identical to the Mafia Sentinel, Sentinel XS and the Vice City rendition of the Sabre.

Grand Theft Auto IV
The Boxville in GTA IV has poor performance in most areas. The vehicle itself is extremely heavy, negating its ability to accelerate and maintain a reasonable speed, let alone gather a high top speed. The vehicle has slow handling, however, due to the weight and sheer size, it is able to ram other vehicles, especially compact cars and sedans, off the road. The truck has reasonable brakes, but are still mediocre and often fail to stop the vehicle in reasonable time.

The vehicle is powered by what sounds like a low-revving, low power 6-cylinder engine, with a high displacement, however, the in-game engine model is a twin-cam turbocharged Inline-4, in a front engine, rear wheel drive configuration. The engine is coupled up to, evidently by sound, a low-geared 5 speed transmission.

The Boxville has a tendency to fall over in sharp turns. This is a substantial flaw, since the vehicle is used as a getaway vehicle in some missions throughout the series.

Grand Theft Auto V
The Boxville returns to GTA V mostly unchanged. The van returns with the exact same engine layout, albeit with more detail. The vehicle's performance specifications and overall speed remain unchanged, however, due to GTA V's new handling physics, the vehicle turns much quicker, with much better, stiffer suspension, which benefits in acceleration and braking rates, however, the vehicle is still extremely heavy and therefore outweighs the aforementioned benefits.

In the enhanced version, the engine sound is now changed. Instead of sharing the engine sound of the Mule, it now occupies an engine sound similar to that of the Surfer.
