Template:Infobox vehiclesThe Vapid Lost Slamvan (formerly named Slamvan) is a compact low-rider van appearing in The Lost and Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony and, as part of the Heists Update, Grand Theft Auto Online.
Design
Episodes from Liberty City
The Slamvan resembles a Rat Rodded 1953–1956 Ford F-Series panel van. It appears to have the windshield and door tops from a 1980's Ford F-Series.
The vehicle is depicted as a classic van featuring a chrome bumper with overriders, and a chrome dual-split grille. Circular lamps can be seen on the outer edges, having small extensions above them. The hood protrudes from the rest of the front and features a detail on the center. The sides have bulky fenders, driver-side exhaust and small side steps, while the cabin area makes use of handles, classic rear-view mirrors and window trim finished in chrome. A large rear compartment with an elevated roof can be seen, along with a sunshade with chrome details on it. The rear of the car uses a set of doors with chrome handles and window trim, while the section below these use circular tail lights, although like most other vehicles in the game, the Slamvan has no reversing lights, nor does it have licence plates. A chrome bumper can be seen at the bottom.
In The Lost and Damned, the Slamvan is the gang car of The Lost MC and therefore, it bears the Lost's insignia and tribal-like markings around. The vehicle usually appears in an all-black body color with red wheels, though it can be repainted in a Pay 'n' Spray to at least three other colors, with the primary one on the lower half and the secondary color on the hood, cabin and rear compartment. It shares the same wheel design as the Towtruck, with plain rims and white-wall tires.
Grand Theft Auto Online
In Grand Theft Auto Online, the Lost Slamvan assumes the same design as the EFLC iteration, but has linear tail lights and a plate holder with a license plate is attached to the passenger side of the rear bumper.
Again, the vehicle is the gang car of The Lost MC, but has additional liveries:
- The first one bears white tribal-like markings on the front end, roof sunshade, rear box and rear end doors. The doors have eagle markings with the "LOST" name below it, along with a red variation of the gang's name on the rear box.
- The second one bears the Lost insignia on the doors, with red gang tags on the rear box.
- The third one features the same markings and emblems as the previous rendition.
The Lost Slamvan is only available in a black body with red wheels, although it retains the same color distribution as before. Its wheel design is also the same, being a derivative of the "Classic Rod" muscle wheels, though the white-wall tires are absent.

Performance
Episodes from Liberty City
The Slamvan's performance is below average, being attributed largely to its poor acceleration, although the van can achieve average speeds. The van's rear wheel torque makes it prone to fishtailing, but it is capable of relatively good cornering and braking, presumably because of its light weight. In TBOGT, the van occasionally backfires when shifting gears.
The engine model is rather fancy compared to other similar engine models, bearing chrome finishing on the carburetors, red lining and polished camshaft covers. Its engine sound is high-revving and noisy, being a higher-pitched variation of the Towtruck's sound (likely the result of a customized engine).

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Lost Slamvan performs rather similar to the Slamvan, having average top speed, matched with very poor brakes and traction. However, it seems to have improved acceleration. It is also slightly heavier due to the compartment on the rear.
The Lost Slamvan has a customized V8 with 4 double-barrel carburetors, which sounds similar to the Duke O'Death, The Liberator, and Marshall.

Locations
The Lost and Damned
- Can be spawned via a cheat code (826-555-0100).
- Can be obtained by calling Terry Thorpe and then pushing his Slamvan to a car save.
Grand Theft Auto Online
To obtain a Slamvan, one needs to spin the Lucky Wheel in The Diamond Casino & Resort. If it lands on a Mystery Reward, there's a ~14.3% chance it will reward the player with something from the vehicle category, and a ~0.72% chance of it being a Slamvan. The overall probability of winning the car is equal to ~0.005%, or about 1 in 20,000, which makes it the rarest vehicle in the game.
- The vehicle appears in the Series A - Bikers and briefly appears in Series A Funding, however, it is unobtainable. The pickup variant can also be spotted during these missions.
- Lost Slamvans may appear in Free Roam during business-related missions involving the Lost (Bunker resupply, Special Cargo, etc.). These can be usually taken even after the mission has ended, but cannot be stored/insured.
- It can be obtained by setting the Respawn vehicle to "Lost Slamvan" while making a GTA Capture in the Content Creator.
Trivia
General
- The Slamvan plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- The Lost and Damned: Liberty City Hardcore.
- The Ballad of Gay Tony: Vladivostok FM.
- GTA V: Rebel Radio.
- Prior to GTA Online, the Lost Slamvan was known simply as "Slamvan", which created confusion when another, pickup version of the Slamvan returned to GTA V as part of the Festive Surprise update, named "Slamvan". When the EFLC variant of the Slamvan returned to GTA Online named "Lost Slamvan", this settled the EFLC's Slamvan's name as "Lost Slamvan", distinguishing the two vans from each other.
Episodes from Liberty City
- The police in The Lost and Damned sometimes refer to the Slamvan as a "pickup", despite it being a van. This may possibly indicate that the vehicle was a pickup truck in the Beta.
- The Slamvan does not have badges, but police chatter will refer it as a "Vapid Slamvan".
- The hood of the Slamvan will not break off, even when destroyed. This also applies to its variant, the Tow Truck.
- In The Lost and Damned the Slamvan uses a unique horn not shared with other vehicles, while in The Ballad of Gay Tony, it uses a loud horn found on sports cars like the Comet, the Oracle and the Cavalcade FXT. **Additionally, there is an unused, higher pitched horn sound of the Slamvan left in TLAD's sounds.dat15.
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Inside Los Santos Customs, it is labeled as "Lost Slamvan" rather than "Vapid Lost Slamvan".
- There is a roof option for the Slamvan Custom called "Sunshade", which adds a roof sunshade identical to that of the Lost Slamvan (without the livery markings on it).
Bugs/Glitches
Grand Theft Auto Online
- By braking and accelerating at the same time in a fully upgraded Lost Slamvan, it will travel at speeds faster than 140 miles per hour.[1]
