“The Slamvan is your ride straight back to a time when your shrink prescribed LSD, your President was a bigot, most people were bigots, and pickup trucks were actually pretty cool. Sure, some things have changed since the 50s, but with the brutal mod options we offer on this rig you can show everyone that utility vehicles ain't all about utility... or racist bumper stickers and gun racks.”
— Benny's Original Motor Works description.
The Vapid Slamvan Custom is a custom two-door pick-up truck featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Lowriders: Custom Classics update.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
“Utility vehicles ain't all about utility.”
— Rockstar Newsire description.
The Slamvan Custom is a lowrider variant of the Slamvan, where it brings only minor changes by default.
The vehicle retains its original design from the standard model, retaining the front and rear fascias. However, the car has received only minor changes, where the chrome details found around the car were removed in favour of colorable trimmings. The rear plate holder is also moved to the center of the vehicle. Its underside is fitted with a paintable frame and has a visible driveshaft, a different exhaust setup (dual pipes instead of a single pipe with twin exits on the left side), and visible hydraulic bars connected to the suspension.
Rather than the Slamvan's two-tone color, the Slamvan Custom only features a single primary color on the body and lower frames, but makes up for it by having an interior color (which also affects the steering wheel and the seats) and a dial color. The secondary color is applied to the bumpers, grille, rear-view mirrors, door handles, window trim and rear plate holder. The vehicle also gets custom "Classic Five" muscle wheels, with the rear ones fitted with wide tires.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Slamvan Custom improves in braking and traction, and the lowered ride height gives it better stability, though it remains inferior to most cars of its class. Although it has a tendency to spin out, it is easy to correct.
The Slamvan Custom has a customized V8 with 4 double-barrel carburetors, a 4-speed gearbox and a RWD layout. It shares the same engine sound as the regular Slamvan.
