The design of Ripley is believed to be based on the SCHOPF F300.

===''Grand Theft Auto IV''===
  +
The design of the Ripley is believed to be based on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schopf#/media/File:Schopf.gif SCHOPF F300], although its design is very generic, with a distinctive box shaped-body and squared wheel arches.
Seen only at [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]], the Ripley may appear as a pedestrian vehicle and will cause it to spawn the [[Airtug]] on the road, or is parked on the tarmac or car parks of the airport. Like certain vehicles operating in the vicinity of the airport, the Ripley bears the [[FlyUS]] livery. It holds a distinctive box shaped-body, with squared wheel arches. It holds a large yellow and white striped ram bar at the front, with implemented square lights.
 
   
  +
The Ripley holds a large yellow and black striped ram bar at the front, with implemented square lights and a tow hitch on the middle. Its cab is surrounded by large window panes and two small windows implemented to look behind. On the roof, it is implemented with two large trumpet horns, unusable strobe lights and two antenna. Both doors are fitted with large dual mirrors. On the middle section, the squared wheel arches holds the massive wheels of the vehicle, each one with industrial tyres. Between these arches and right above these, there are two large engine vents and over these arches, more unusable lights. On the rear end, another ram bar is seen, with the tailight housing right above the ram bar and a third engine vent on the middle, as well as more unusable lights.
No license plates can be found on the vehicle in both GTA IV and GTA V.
 
  +
  +
The Ripley is only available in a grey color with a black stripe running across the entire vehicle, from the front ram bar to the rear one. It also bears the [[FlyUS]] livery, complete with a Jet image on either sides and "Transparent Star" stencils close to every FlyUS logo. No license plates can be found on the vehicle, as the vehicle is not intended for use on public roads.
   
 
===''Grand Theft Auto V''===
 
===''Grand Theft Auto V''===
The Ripley returns in [[GTA V]] looking almost exactly the same as it did in GTA IV, except that will appear either with a grey or yellow line at the bottom. It now also has images of the FlyUS planes the sides, in replacement of the grille extractors found on the GTA IV rendition.
+
The Ripley returns in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'' with the same appearance as in GTA IV, except that will appear either with a grey or yellow line at the bottom, the strobe lights on the roof are transparent, and the engine's vents are much more open than those of the GTA IV rendition. The towbar of both ends of the vehicle are now colored in the same manner as the lower side.

As expected from a large, heavy, box-shaped vehicle, the Ripley has very limited performance. Its top speed is very low, and acceleration may seem slow, but considering how low the top speed is, acceleration is above average. The vehicle has a great deal of traction thanks to its high-profile tyres and rear-mid-rear engine configuration. Also, the vehicle's behind-driver steering system is extremely beneficial for its turning circle, as it can corner very easily, with minimal effort, and understeer is still minimal. Along with the [[Comet]], the Ripley also has the stiffest suspension in the game.

Also, the vehicle's behind-driver steering system is extremely beneficial for its turning circle, as it can corner very easily, with minimal effort, and understeer is still minimal. According to the handling files, the Ripley has the highest steering angle of all ''GTA IV'' vehicles, able to turn its wheels in 45 degrees, explaining its particular steering. The Ripley has a very stiff suspension compared to other trucks.
  +
  +
The Ripley's high mass and the mid-rear engine layout vastly helps in sorting out small cars without damaging the engine, but its large windows provides little to no protection against gunfire. The slow speed and the large profile makes this truck highly vulnerable to gunfire, especially explosives. Unlike other vehicles in GTA IV, the Ripley features solid door mirrors, which could cause it to crash frequently with other cars at traffic, making the vehicle much wider than what the appearance suggests.
  +
  +
The truck is powered by a large engine coupled to a 3-speed gearbox in a RWD layout. Its engine sound is unique compared to other industrial vehicles, as it is not as smooth as the [[Mule]]'s, but not as loud as the [[Phantom]]'s.

Like most trucks, the Ripley's performance is defined by its average pickup, below average top speed, and poor brakes, but it has a tight turning radius, due to its very short wheelbase. This truck can pack a powerful punch on cars, and can tip them over easily at relatively low speeds. Additionally, the Ripley's mid-to-rear-mounted engine configuration allows the vehicle to survive large numbers of head-on collisions; the openness of the cab, however, exposes the player to gunfire. Also, the large tires can easily be shot and blown out, making getaways from high-end police extremely difficult.

Template:Infobox vehiclesThe HVY Ripley is an airline pushback tractor in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Design

Grand Theft Auto IV

The design of the Ripley is believed to be based on the SCHOPF F300, although its design is very generic, with a distinctive box shaped-body and squared wheel arches.

The Ripley holds a large yellow and black striped ram bar at the front, with implemented square lights and a tow hitch on the middle. Its cab is surrounded by large window panes and two small windows implemented to look behind. On the roof, it is implemented with two large trumpet horns, unusable strobe lights and two antenna. Both doors are fitted with large dual mirrors. On the middle section, the squared wheel arches holds the massive wheels of the vehicle, each one with industrial tyres. Between these arches and right above these, there are two large engine vents and over these arches, more unusable lights. On the rear end, another ram bar is seen, with the tailight housing right above the ram bar and a third engine vent on the middle, as well as more unusable lights.

The Ripley is only available in a grey color with a black stripe running across the entire vehicle, from the front ram bar to the rear one. It also bears the FlyUS livery, complete with a Jet image on either sides and "Transparent Star" stencils close to every FlyUS logo. No license plates can be found on the vehicle, as the vehicle is not intended for use on public roads.

Grand Theft Auto V

The Ripley returns in Grand Theft Auto V with the same appearance as in GTA IV, except that will appear either with a grey or yellow line at the bottom, the strobe lights on the roof are transparent, and the engine's vents are much more open than those of the GTA IV rendition. The towbar of both ends of the vehicle are now colored in the same manner as the lower side.

Trivia

General

  • The Ripley's name is an homage to lead character Ellen Ripley of the Alien films (played by Sigourney Weaver) — in the second film in the franchise, Aliens, the APC used by the Colonial Marines was built using a decommissioned Hunslet ATT77 airliner tug as a base.
  • The default radio stations for the Ripley are:
  • Unlike other pushback tractors, the Ripley does not feature a steerable rear axle.

Grand Theft Auto IV

  • The Brickade shares the same handling traits and engine sound with the Ripley, another HVY vehicle.
  • Driving the Ripley around the Francis International Airport will cause Banshees to spawn in the parking lots. They vary in color. However in The Ballad of Gay Tony driving the Ripley around the Francis International Airport will cause Washingtons and Faggios to spawn in the parking lots.
  • The "Transparent Star" text above the FlyUS logo might be reference to Star Alliance, as FlyUS takes influence from real life members of Star Alliance, mainly United Airlines, and (formerly) US Airways.

Grand Theft Auto V

  • Unlike in GTA IV, the door mirrors becomes unsolid.
