The Karin Technical Custom is a custom armed pickup truck, featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Gunrunning update.
Description
The Technical Custom was originally introduced as a mission-only vehicle that could be driven by the player as a bunker supply. However, as of the Technical Custom Week event, commencing July 18, 2017, it became available for purchase.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Technical Custom is essentially a Technical, but adds a tow hitch on the back that is connected to a large frame coming from under the truck bed. It also has a non-rusted body with rusted mirrors, wider fenders, and its badge has been moved from its grille to the plate holder.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Vehicle
The Technical Custom essentially performs the same as the Technical, and is claimed to feature a V8 engine, sharing a V8 model too, which provides an above-average amount of power to all four wheels and is able to keep the vehicle moving without loss of traction.
- Armor
Although bulletproof windows can be fitted, they do not provide any protection to the driver and passenger, as they can still be shot through from bullets by enemy NPCs and other players. The same applies to the Weaponized Tampa, Nightshark and Insurgent Pick-Up Custom. Like its equivalents, the vehicle can be destroyed by a single explosive.
The gunner also has little to no protection against gunfire and may fall from the vehicle when it is flipped down.
- Weaponry
The vehicle has a weaponized turret for use by an independent gunner, offering 360 degree rotation angle and ~50 degree elevation angle, making it effective at taking out aircraft and vehicles in general:
- The Technical Custom comes equipped with the standard DShK .50 caliber machine gun turret, which has devastating power against pedestrians and unarmored vehicles, making it a good choice for an escort vehicle. The vehicle is able to kill most NPCs and players in one to two hits and take down most helicopters or vehicles in less than twenty.
- The second option is a mounted 7.62mm Minigun, which behaves like many mounted miniguns found on other vehicles. Although not very powerful, the high fire rate makes it great against unarmored targets and cars.
- The vehicle has the option for installing Proximity Mines, which behave the same as any remote explosive and are operated by the driver. These mines are a bit stronger than their hand-held counterparts and are also limited to five active mines. Caution should be taken when using it, as it can potentially damage or destroy the vehicle.
- Trailer
Towing an Anti-Aircraft Trailer in collaboration with another player gives the vehicle increased potential, as the trailer turret can provide additional defense when the main vehicle is supressing enemies. Caution should be taken when carrying the AA trailer, as it is possible to trigger a proximity mine that the Technical Custom has placed, destroying the trailer. The lack of armor from both the vehicle and the trailer mean that destroying one can cause severe damage to the other and vice-versa.
- The stock MG option usually gives general flexibility against targets and one can protect the other gunner from behind. Focusing a single target with both turrets usually means increased damage.
- The SAM option gives good capabilities at taking out long-range aircraft, compensating the lack of range and limited capabilities of the Technical Custom against armored vehicles. Land vehicles can be taken out with the SAM battery, but the low fire rate limits its effectiveness against armored targets.
- The Flak Cannon option gives the vehicle a better way to defeat enemy heavy armor, again due to the Technical Custom's low capabilities against armored targets, but that means exposing the trailer directly to the enemy threat, especially tanks and weaponized aircraft.
