The HVY Dump is a haul truck in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Influence[]
The Dump appears to be inspired by various haul trucks, particularly those made by Caterpillar, as evident in the markings resembling CAT's branding. The truck is primarily modeled after the CAT 777D and the CAT 773E, with railings and cockpit design reminiscent of the CAT 789C, and fuel tanks borrowed from the CAT 797B. The rear, grille, cockpit's flatter frontal shape, and tail light placement seem to draw influence from several Komatsu haulers, notably the Komatsu HD785-7. Additionally, the headlights and other details may have been taken from the BelAZ-7513.
Design[]
The Dump is a large vehicle, being one of the largest land vehicles in the entire Grand Theft Auto series. The vehicle is reminiscent of the Dumper from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, albeit more modern in appearance. The front of the truck features a small bumper with small ladders on either side, while the upper area is predominated by the black dual grilles, the two ladders beside it and the set of outer headlights and inner turn signals. On the upper area, there is the main cabin on the left-hand side and black guard rails around, while a large metal platform with a wide step extends to the left and provides access to the cabin. Large mirrors are seen on either side of the vehicle, as well as a small fire extinguisher. In the enhanced version, the cabin uses "Truck" analog dials.
The chassis of the truck has large fenders/mudguards behind the front wheels and large fuel tanks between the wheels, while the top area is occupied by a long exhaust stack on the right-hand side and the tipper that has various marker lights on the upper edges, and it is always loaded with dirt/gravel (though, unlike the Dumper in GTA San Andreas, it cannot be operated). The rear end features various articulated arms for the tipper and a small panel, housing outer main lights and inner brake lights.
The truck always spawns in a yellow primary color for most of the body and the tipper, as well as a black secondary color for the portion above the headlights, the upper portion of the cabin and the front/side details of the tipper. It has large industrial wheels similar to the Fieldmaster and the Lawn Mower, albeit with additional detail. It has high-profile tires with a rugged tread pattern.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
As expected from such a large, both wide and tall vehicle, the Dump is one of the slowest vehicles in GTA V, beaten in slowness by the Dozer and Mower. However, the truck makes up with its power against other vehicles; its sheer size allows it to crush other vehicles, albeit with some struggle and bounce, or push them out of the way with ease. The truck's high exhaust stack also allows it to travel in very deep water without the risk of cutting out.
Despite the truck's brute size and shape, its durability remains the same as any other vehicle, if not worsened by its vulnerability. The Dump's tires can deflate and burst, and the truck cannot withstand even one explosion before exploding completely. It should be noted that while crushing vehicles, cars will commonly explode under the sheer weight of the truck, which can often cause the Dump itself to explode. The large fuel tanks are also vulnerable to gunfire and its slow speed makes it difficult to get out of sticky situations.
The Dump can also be picked up by the Cargobob's hook, despite its weight, although its size again poses a significant threat to both the control and the speed of the helicopter.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The word Dump is a double entendre, referencing the slang term which means defecating.
Grand Theft Auto V[]
- The Dump, along with the Dock Handler, are the first vehicles in the HD Universe to feature suicide doors.
- Although the Dump is claimed by game files and website to be manufactured by HVY, there are several Brute badges on the front and around the tipper.
- By clipping the camera through the vehicle, one can see that the exhaust is not really connected to the engine. The exhaust simply starts from the middle of the whole vehicle, but lacks any sort of L-shaped connector, resulting in an untextured tube when looking from the inner side.
- If purchased, the Dump cannot be stored in a garage and can only be summoned via Pegasus Lifestyle Management. Some of the Pegasus vehicle spawn points, such as the parking lot at Backlot City, have exits that are too small for the Dump to navigate.
