ScooterEightyTwo Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 G'day guys, I haven't bought myself an MOC yet as I haven't had the opportunity to play GTA recently, but when I do I plan on getting one. But I've been wondering out of the Phantom & Hauler which one do you guys reckon is better? I'm leaning toward the Hauler purely because I prefer the flatnose trucks but are there performance differences or anything of note? Or purely just one's preference of truck?

Gaffa Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 The Phantom definitely has more performance, but the hauler has slightly more armouring - you won't be fully protected from gunfire, but I think you are a bit safer in the Hauler.

coelacanth72 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 The hauler is still really fast though, and the shorter nose gives u a tighter turning circle. I was amazed how quick the ginormous MOC was when I first drove it. How fast u go has more to do with how much stuff u bash into, and you're going to bash into a lot of stuff.

SWYV Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I prefer Phantom because it is more stable to drive at high speed in corners, or when cars hit me, Hauler is easy to lose control Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/889665-phantom-v-hauler/#findComment-1069659934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tez2 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Phantom More weight, less drive force, better damage resistance and offroad ability. Hauler Less weight, better drive force, its damage resistance isn't that great. If you prefer a truck that smash hard choose Phantom. If you prefer a truck that drives fast choose Hauler.

Mogg Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 i chose the phantom after no less than 5 seconds of thinking. i really don't drive much with trucks, except when i do haulage with the phantom wedge. the hard part with the biggest trailer is to even see the truck, and the hauler's the hardest of the two to see, and keep track of which way the nose is pointing (eh he hehehe heheheh) and all the scandinavian trucks are haulers, so i chose a nose truck for exoticicity !

IceDree Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I chose the Phantom because I hated the armor plate in front of the Hauler. I was planning to buy the Hauler, but the plate ruined it for me.

CarnageRacing00 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 The Phantom has a much longer wheel base and therefore a larger turning radius, which may make it less maneuverable than the Hauler, BUT makes it more stable. I've always found it easier to reverse a longer vehicle, personally. It's also less prone to get turned sideways from crashing into cars on the road, which will occur frequently, so keep that in mind. Besides, it just looks cool. Pretty fast, too.

Zarpy Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 If you find a way to disconnect the trailer from the cab, I recommend the phantom wedge Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/889665-phantom-v-hauler/#findComment-1069661249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugsy Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 If you find a way to disconnect the trailer from the cab, I recommend the phantom wedge Hold right on the d-pad to disconnect the trailer. The Phantom Wedge does connect up to the MOC trailer. jtet37, Gaffa and The Crooked Panda 3 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/889665-phantom-v-hauler/#findComment-1069661260 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarnageRacing00 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I chose the Hauler because I'm more of a Euro truck guy than an Ameri-Truck. American truck cabs are still cool, though. Americans have been using COE's (cab over engine) since the 30's. It's as much an American thing as it is a European thing. Long nose trucks ARE decidedly an American thing, though.

Lonely-Martin Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I went straight for the Phantom, always wanted one, ideally hope for a trucking business one day, but we shall see, ain't holding my breath but it was great fun in San An to go trucking... Wish I could store both cabs at the bunker and pick my flavour of the day and a lil' cutscene to watch me linking up and driving that bad boy out the bunker too... chef_archie, Skeve613, BigBrother67 and 1 other 4 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/889665-phantom-v-hauler/#findComment-1069661436 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStickMama Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Phantom vs. Hauler, I'd pick the Phantom. Both have the same PvP qualities, they take the same number of RPG's to blow up, the same number of bullets to penetrate windows, etc.. etc.. The Phantom has better acceleration while the Hauler has slightly better top speed. But the big thing in favor of the Phantom is it's weight, and ability to simply shove things out of it's way.

SkittyM Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Phantom Custom because looks. That front plate on the Hauler looks awful. Would've been nice if they made both into Day cabs however, better turning radius with that GIANT MOC trailer.

secrecy274 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Hauler.

ash-274 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I went with the Hauler. I like the front plate and the barred glass.

Chang Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Hauler, like drivings a concrete wall. Took 4+ rockets. Dude sources car, bringing it from the desert to city for storage. Parked MOC bay @ enterance, cab @ back entrance. Murder driver attempting to store car, jack car, put in my car warehouse. Gold.

Florpus Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Hauler is quicker and easier to turn, however the Phantom is tougher and better in off-road. Both have positives and negatives. One also has far superior looks than the other in my opinion, but that is subjective.
