Template:Infobox vehiclesThe Brute[1] Tipper is a dump truck in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Design
Grand Theft Auto V
Tipper refers to two tipper-based trucks of similar design, both operated by Skiver Construction Corporation. The second generation model is manufactured by Brute according to its entry name (see Trivia), while the first generation model lacks any manufacturer reference.[1]
On both models, the cab is painted the primary color, while the tipper compartment is painted the secondary color. Both models are also fitted with a CB radio, and occasional trucker chatter can be heard regardless of whether the main radio is turned on or off. The chatter will only play if playing as Trevor and in Blaine County.
In the enhanced version of the game, both trucks share the same interior common with all trucks, sporting analog dials, a retro steering wheel and a display screen mounted on the central console.
- First generation
The first generation Tipper is strongly based on the Ford L8000 dump truck with influences from the Mack R688 dump truck. It assumes the design of a triple axle, 10-wheeled rig with a short, single exhaust stack behind the cab on the passenger side, as well as A cylindrical air filter on the right side of the cab. The roof holds two mounted horns as well as a series of marker lights. The tipper compartment is rusty but doesn't have any deformation or dents compared to the second generation model. It may spawn with or without dirt inside the tipper.
- Second generation
The second variant of the Tipper appears to be slightly newer than the first, with an updated exterior design, closely resembling the second generation Chevy Kodiak/GMC TopKick such as the side profile of the fenders and overall cab design. It shares its cab usage with the second generation Mixer. It has two double headlights, a different shaped grille, and a more streamlined front end. This variant also has two turn signals placed on top of each front wheel arch, and it lacks an air filter on its side.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto V
The performance is that of an average heavy truck with slow acceleration but remarkable top speed. The Tipper has a very large turning radius and its heavy handling leaves much to be desired. However, its heavy weight can be used to the player's advantage, as the Tipper can easily push smaller cars out of the way.

Trivia
Grand Theft Auto V
The beta Tipper in the "Cunning Stunt Academy" video.
- The second generation Tipper is manufactured by Brute, while the second generation Mixer, which shares the same cab, is manufactured by HVY. This is likely a developer oversight.
- The first generation Tipper is referred as an Brute vehicle on Rockstar Games Social Club, despite the first generation model lacking any manufacturer reference in badges, game names or file data.
- A scene in the Cunning Stunt Academy advertisement, the Tipper appeared with a different grille and cleaner bodywork.
- The lower detail models for the second generation Tipper feature an aerial mounted on the passenger-side of the hood. This is not present on the highest detail model.

Bugs/Glitches
- First generation
- None of the vehicle's windows will break from the inside when shot using a weapon. This is due to the glass's collision not being double-sided.
- The rear half of the front fenders do not produce bullet holes when shot at. This is due to these parts of the model being on the
chassisvehicle component;chassisdoes not produce bullet holes. - The player can clip with the rear wheels if they manage to get underneath it. This is due to the rear wheels' collision not resembling the width of the dual wheel design itself. This also applies to the second generation Tipper and numerous other trucks of a similar design.
