Master the 'Trash Truck' mission in GTA V! Learn how to get the Gold Medal by completing it fast, keeping the truck pristine, and hitting top speed. Follow our expert tips!

Alright, let's get this heist prepped! This mission is all about grabbing a specific vehicle, and you'll want Franklin for this one. His special driving ability is going to be a lifesaver, trust me.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Steal the Trashmaster: First things first, find the Trashmaster you need. Park your personal vehicle right in front of it and hop out to 'persuade' the driver to leave. This immediately kicks off a two-star Wanted Level, so be ready to hit the gas and weave through traffic.
  2. 2
    Lose the Cops: This is where Franklin's special comes in handy. Use it in short bursts whenever you need to make a sharp swerve or a quick turn to break line of sight. The Trashmaster isn't exactly a sports car, so you'll need to be clever. Try ducking down alleys or even switching to a faster getaway car temporarily if you can shake the heat, then double back to the truck.
  3. 3
    Deliver Undamaged: The key here is careful driving. This truck is a beast, and it's not exactly nimble. Plan your route to avoid unnecessary bumps and scrapes. Again, Franklin's special is your best friend for those tricky maneuvers.
  4. 4
    Hit Top Speed: For the 'In The Dust' requirement, you'll need to find a clear, long stretch of road. It's easy to crash when you're going full throttle in this thing, so pick your spot wisely. Give yourself plenty of space to really floor it. Franklin's special can also give you that little extra push to reach top speed.
Tips
  • Franklin's special ability is crucial for both evading the cops and handling the unwieldy Trashmaster. Use it strategically!
  • Don't be afraid to use alleys or even temporarily ditch the truck to lose the cops if you're taking too much damage. Just make sure to return to it.
  • Finding a long, straight road is essential for hitting top speed without crashing.
  • Completing this mission is a step towards the next heist.
  • Gold Medal requirements: Mission Time (within 05:00), Undented (deliver with no damage), In The Dust (reach top speed in the Trashmaster).
