Field Assessment

The Benson is the box truck in the Vapid commercial range. The Ford Econoline-based medium box truck: rear-wheel drive, boxy cargo body, and the specific handling of a large vehicle on a van chassis that was not designed for the cargo it currently contains.

In Vice City the Benson is the commercial delivery truck for the size category above the panel van. Restaurant equipment, retail fixtures, and the category of delivery that requires a roll-up door and a pallet jack.

As a mission vehicle the Benson is the Leonida commercial truck that carries the cargo and requires the driver to manage the size in a road network that was not planned for it.
