Tipper

GTA V had two Tippers, a ten-wheel and a six-wheel, and it is the shorter six-wheel truck that vehicle trackers catalogued in An Extended Look. It is a TopKick with a steel dump body, the kind of truck that queues at every building site between downtown and the port.

Brute is GM’s truck badge in the series, which is why the Tipper shares a brand with the Ambulance, Boxville and Stockade.

The Tipper had a party trick in GTA V: raise the bed and anything in it slid out, which players used to dump cars onto the freeway from overpasses. Rockstar never gave the bed a load, so it was mostly theatre. The GMC TopKick itself had a stranger second life as the Ironhide character in the Transformers films.
