Overview[]
The Box Truck was an American LightBox type truck. It could be bought for $32,000 and first appeared in the original Ultimate Driving. It was indirectly replaced by the 1995 Ford LN8000 Box Truck for the Trucking Update Phase 1, which is only available on the Trucker Team but can still be used for roleplay.
Description[]
The Box Truck is based on a Ford F-450 Light Truck. It is simple and practical; a small front cab and a simple, white box for carrying cargo. The headlights are square, while the brake lights are circular. There are no visible external fuel tanks, and the exhaust pipe is located behind the plate holding the brake lights and rear turn signals. It is pointed diagonally to the left. Its default color is White.
History[]
In January of 2018, the box truck got a new mesh model, and its model was replaced with that of a Ford F-Series box truck, along with two of the three rear seats removed. It also has a lower top speed than its original brick counterpart.
On May 1st, 2021, the box truck was removed as part of the Trucking Update. As an alternative, players can use the box truck on the newly-revamped Trucker Team for free.

Trivia[]
- There are claims that the Box Truck was used in drift competitions but this does not seem to have a proper base.
- The original box truck was based on a Japanese model back in 2013- which was limited to a certain speed. These trucks were generic but allowed people to roleplay as delivery drivers- despite being unable to carry cargo.
- The second-generation box truck, found in Ultimate Driving II-IV Classic was based on an Isuzu light truck. Like the first-generation truck, it could not carry cargo. This vehicle was released in 2014, prior to the revamp of Ultimate Driving II.
- The brick version of the Box Truck present in older Ultimate Driving Universe games is based on a box truck variant of the 2003-2013 Chevy Express/GMC Savana, this truck is a variant from the Van (also based on a Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana). However, this truck is a light truck, despite carrying a 3rd axle (in real life, small box trucks only have 2 axles). The game version has the front end of a Chevrolet Express chassis cab, and the rear comes from a slightly larger truck. This truck was also able to carry cargo for a limited time, which was replaced with three hidden seats.
- The Box Truck is generally unpopular with players due to its inability to actually hold cargo unlike the larger cabs available to the Trucker job.
- Even though the cab itself uses a mesh model as of recent, the cargo space still mostly uses a brick model.
- Every rear seat for all models of the box truck was invisible. However, due to the Racing Update removing legs when avatars sat down on any seat, this causes some awkward positions, causing the legless torso to float above the floor.
- Some players will paint the Box Truck yellow and pretend it is a U-Haul or a moving van.
- Sometimes it is possible to glitch a small car into the back of the Box Truck, but if it was to work, the car would likely slide out when you started driving.
- When the Box Truck was used for cargo, it was common to see criminals driving it pretending to be truckers to trick the police. However, this isn’t as common anymore as the box truck is no longer used for cargo, and there are many faster getaway cars.
