- "They don't make you choose between red, white and blue, so why should you compromise when it comes to your pickup? Classic redneck open-top? Check. Rudimentary motorboat? Check. Wide-angle machine gun post? Check. Sometimes demanding everything is the only patriotic thing to do."
- ―Warstock Cache & Carry description.

Trivia
General
- The Technical Aqua is one of six amphibious ground-based vehicles in the Grand Theft Auto series, the other five being the APC, the Blazer Aqua, the Bovver'64, the Splitz-6 ATV and the Vortex hovercraft.
- The truck is a reference to the "Toybota", a fourth-generation Toyota Hilux amphi-car built by Jeremy Clarkson that is used to cross the Rudyard Resevoir on Top Gear. The drums on the side also gives the Technical Aqua a resemblance to the "Nissank", a Nissan D21 amphi-car also built by Clarkson, which he used to cross the English channel.
- Unlike the original Technical, the Technical Aqua cannot be converted to the Technical Custom from the Mobile Operations Center.
- Due to first-person camera POV issues, the player cannot switch to First-Person View while driving it on water. If they have FPV enabled beforehand, when the car enters water it would be disabled.
