Overview
An industrial maritime heavy-lifter. Built with reinforced steel hull plating, massive bollard pull capacity, and an elevated bridge commanding 360-degree ocean visibility.
In Grand Theft Auto VI, vehicle handling and weight have been dramatically overhauled compared to GTA V. The Buckingham Tug & Cargo benefits from heavier physics simulation, realistic roll dynamics, and authentic torque curves designed to reward skilled drivers on both Leonida's open freeways and narrow downtown alleys.

High-speed beaching causes catastrophic outdrive shearing; requires careful docking.
Customization Options
High-intensity navigation radar, heavy rubber bow fendering, fire-fighting water cannons, and company logos.
