About this vehicle
The MTL Pounder is a heavy Commercial box truck with seating for two. Its cab and chassis are shared with the Packer and Flatbed, while its enclosed rear body has warning stripes, metal cargo doors, circular truck-style tail lights and a rear guard. The cab resembles a Mack CH613. Pounders carry either Rob's Liquor or Big G Goods branding on the cargo box, with several cab colours available.
The Pounder is a large, weighty truck, so it is less agile than lighter vehicles and needs a wide space to turn. Its long wheelbase gives it a broad turning circle, but it accelerates and reaches speed well for a truck of its size. The rear-wheel-drive V8 and 4-speed transmission give it a smooth, moderately high-revving truck note. Its mass and durability also make it effective at forcing other vehicles off the road.
In Grand Theft Auto V, Pounders often travel around the Port of Los Santos and the main highways, particularly the La Puerta Freeway, and can also appear in Morningwood and Richman. They are more widespread throughout Los Santos in the enhanced version. In GTA Online, they commonly operate in Downtown Los Santos and on freeways, and may be parked around the Port. They deliver supplies in Business missions, carry weapons in a Defend Business job, and wait at drop sites during an Air Freight Cargo Sell Mission.
Trivia
- โThe name is a poke on the fact that the truck is able to ram smaller vehicles into walls, seriously damaging, or "pounding" them, and also on its weight and size.
- โThe name might also be a sexual reference to "pounding" which refers to rough sexual intercourse.
- โDue to reused interior assets, the rear cargo hold features seating areas that indicate the location of the wheel wells, despite the entire cargo box being raised above the initial chassis.
