- "New and exclusive to Benny's Original Motor Works, a feat of motor engineering so ludicrous there's no point trying to understand it, question it, or stop yourself blowing the last of your kids' college fund on it. And if a giant, motorized junk food billboard with 40 inch chrome wheels and a sky-high center of gravity doesn't immediately make sense to you, it's never going to. Remember, no one's really sure what the competition is anymore, but with one of these you're almost certainly winning."

- "A feat of motor engineering so unconventional there's no point trying to understand it, question it, or stop yourself from blowing the last of your kid's college fund on it. The Willard Faction Custom Donk. Exclusively available from Benny's Original Motorworks."
- ―Rockstar Newsire description.
The vehicle itself has a much larger ride-height than that of the standard Faction (or its Custom variant), but slightly less than the Liberator's. The vehicle's chassis is very similar to the Marshall's and Liberator's, sharing the front raised axle, steering rack and brackets. Unlike the Guardian, which also shares this chassis, it lacks the rear-wheel-steer steering rack, purposely. The vehicle has large hydraulic pumps reaching to each steering bracket, which slowly pump the vehicle up and down, raising each piston separately.
In terms of cosmetics, only minor changes have been made. Minor texture and badging changes have been made, where the front grille no longer sports the "Turbo" badge, and the sides also lack some cosmetic parts.
On the underside are two large diffs with chrome bolts attaching each diff housing together. The driveshaft is seen in black connecting to the center point of the vehicle. A supporting member also connects from the top of the rear diff to one of the cross-members of the vehicle - another cross member supporting the engine is also found at the front of the vehicle. Also appearing on the front axle is the large hydraulic steering arm, as well as primary-colored chassis. Four shackles connecting each hydraulic damping shocks can be seen at the center of each side of the wheelbase. Connecting this is a large cross-frame styled support crossing the center of the wheelbase. The exhaust systems are 4-1 exhaust pipes, where the two exhaust pipes never meet, and pass through two separated mufflers half way down the car.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
Despite that the Faction Custom Donk has a higher ground clearance than any other Off-Road vehicles, it is relatively stable at even faster speeds when cornering and can handle uneven terrain. It can also withstand a couple of hits from traffic, but players need to be mindful that the Faction's wheels are very exposed to gunfire as it can greatly upset the car's handling if its tires are shot. The vehicle's performance is somewhat slacking, due to the large excess weight, not only caused by the larger rims, but also the added weight of hydraulic power. The vehicle's hydraulics are, by default, extremely slow, considering the size and weight of the vehicle. The vehicle corners fairly well, but oversteer is present due to the badly proportioned weight.
The engine is shared with the original Faction by default, being a single-cam V8 with a turbocharger by default. There also appears to be a supercharger-like modification centralised on the engine block, with the supercharger intake pipe coming from the radiator and front-grille area. The engine sound is shared with the Marshall and Liberator, being a high-power, high-output V8.
