The Walton is a vehicle featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Design
3D Universe
Throughout its appearance, the Walton resembles a 1955 Chevrolet Task Force with the front of a 1954/1955 Chevrolet Advance Design, it also features a small stake bed, which provides a decent sized flat surface area, making it a suitable sniper platform.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Walton often spawns with random cargo in the bed, such as wooden crates, cardboard boxes, or Carcer Gas propane tanks (which do not explode when shot). Occasionally the bed is empty. These items remain in the bed and will not fall out if driving off-road or if the player crashes. The San Andreas rendition of the Walton features a tailgate, which the Vice City and Vice City Stories renditions do not. There is also a wrecked Walton in front of Catalina's hideout in Fern Ridge, Red County, San Andreas.

Performance
3D Universe
The Walton's road-going capabilities are underwhelming. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the Walton possesses below-average acceleration and speed, and sluggish controls, owing to its age, weight and size. The Walton's engine power is even worse in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, where the truck often struggles to climb steep inclines. However, the Walton can be modified at Transfender. Despite being under-powered, the Walton has decent off-roading capabilities, typical of any pickup truck in the game. It is also very sturdy and can withstand a lot of damage.
It has the same engine sound as the Tractor and the Dozer.

Special Variants
In both Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the color white is not normally available on any Walton, except during missions.
- In GTA Vice City, four white Waltons will appear during "Gun Runner" as transport vehicles for a gang of gun runners which the player must eliminate. While the player can in fact the kill the driver of any of the Waltons with a sniper rifle and commandeer one, the player must destroy all the Waltons as well to complete the mission. A workaround to this is simple; the player will simply need to collect all of the weapons, then place the last working Walton in a garage and destroy it (thereby passing the mission). After the garage door is closed, the wrecked Walton will reappear in working order when the garage is reopened.
- For Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, a white Walton plays a crucial role during "Madd Dogg", when the player must save a drunken Madd Dogg from falling to his death by taking the truck parked nearby and aligning the truck's box-filled bed with Madd Dogg as he is about to jump from a ledge. Once Madd Dogg lands on the bed, the player must then drive him to a rehabilitation clinic, completing the mission. The player may then store the truck in a garage. Alternately, the player can also fail the mission by opting not to save Madd Dogg and still acquire the truck nevertheless. The truck is also bulletproof.
