Cement Truck

Learn all about the DUDE Cement Truck in GTA San Andreas. Find locations, understand its heavy performance, and get tips for using it in missions like Deconstruction.

Alright, let's talk about the Cement Truck in GTA San Andreas. It's a pretty massive vehicle, and while you can't actually dispense cement, it plays a role in a couple of missions and is a common sight in industrial areas. ### Design This big rig is based on the International Harvester S-2500. It's got that classic cement mixer look with a big, sturdy chassis. You'll notice the tall cab, the large grille, square headlights, and a single exhaust stack. The back has the mixer itself, with DUDE branding, and a chute that can actually detach if you get into a bad crash. It comes in a few different colors, with the cab and chute usually being the primary color, the fenders a secondary, and the mixer itself a tertiary. Unlike some other trucks, it only has single rear wheels. ### Performance As you'd expect, the Cement Truck is heavy and powerful. It's not going to be doing any sharp turns without a bit of help from the handbrake. Once it gets going, it's tough to stop, so be mindful of that when you're navigating traffic or trying to make quick maneuvers. It's also a bit unstable on rough terrain and can tip over easily. Interestingly, you can actually adjust the rotation speed of the back barrel, which can affect the truck's balance, especially on uneven surfaces or during sharp turns. It's powered by a diesel engine and has a 4-speed gearbox, running in a rear-wheel-drive setup. Expect that classic loud diesel engine sound.
