Overview
The Hauler Custom is a Grand Theft Auto industrial modelled on the Peterbilt 579 / Kenworth T680. Rockstar has not shown or named the Hauler Custom for GTA 6, so everything below is drawn from its real-world basis and its history across the series — not from confirmed GTA 6 detail.
History in the GTA Series
The Hauler has appeared since GTA San Andreas (2004) for trucking missions. GTA V (2013) featured it as traffic, while GTA Online introduced the Hauler Custom with customization and performance upgrades. GTA Online's CEO and Biker businesses made semi-trucks important gameplay vehicles for the first time, with players using Haulers to transport cargo across the map.
The Hauler Custom was introduced alongside the Phantom Custom in GTA Online's Gunrunning update, providing an alternative cab design for mobile operations center tractor units. The cab-over configuration appealed to players who preferred the European-style flat-face truck design over the conventional American long-nose layout. Community adoption split between the two cab styles based primarily on aesthetic preference, with the Hauler Custom attracting players who appreciated its more compact proportions and distinctive driving perspective.
What We Actually Know About It in GTA 6
Rockstar has not shown or named the Hauler Custom for GTA 6. It is a long-running series staple, going back to GTA San Andreas (2004), which makes a GTA 6 version reasonable to expect — but expectation is not confirmation. Rockstar has published no top speed, acceleration, handling rating, price, spawn location or customization list for the Hauler Custom in GTA 6 — the in-game economy and traffic spawns have not been shown at that level of detail. As a industrial you can reasonably expect low speed and heavy mass built around a work role; past GTA games let you find vehicles like this in traffic, buy them from in-game websites, or earn them through missions, and we expect something similar. Once the game is out we will replace this with verified detail — until then, any exact mph figure, dollar price, street location or upgrade menu quoted for it is invented.
