Happy Holidays Hauler Truck in GTA Online (Explained)
The Holiday Hauler Truck is an 18-wheeler vehicle that drops Christmas presents containing various rewards.
Other cars can’t physically stop the vehicle from following its pre-determined route. Moreover, the truck has its spawning requirements.
How to Spawn the Holiday Hauler Truck
There are three requirements to trigger the event:
- Two players must be in a session. Joining a Public session is optional, so opt for “Invite Only” and “Closed Friend” sessions to avoid griefers.
- The session is 60 minutes old. If another party joins the session later, they don’t have to wait 60 minutes as the timer starts when a lobby is created.
- In Free Roam. Wait for the 18-wheeler vehicle to spawn without entering any properties, including apartments, garages, and businesses.
Once the Holiday Hauler Truck spawns in Legion Square (Downtown Los Santos), its blue icon will appear on the radar. Moreover, it’ll circle the map as shown below:
The event has a 60-minute cooldown before reappearing.
Rewards from Christmas Presents
Every 90 seconds, the truck will drop Christmas Presents containing cash, RP, ammo, and snacks. You can also obtain the rare eCola and Sprunk Festive Sweaters.
You’ll make around $150,000 at best just by following the vehicle.
Remember: Stay at the hauler’s rear to pick up the loot delay-free.
I got footage of the holiday hauler glitched on the side of the road, stuck, giving me presents every 90 seconds. It’s unusual because it’s supposed to respon after harsh damage or being pushed off course too far by another player.
