The Trashmaster in the HD Universe is modeled after the Peterbilt 320 COE chassis, also drawing heavy inspiration from the CCC LET, CCC IRL, and Mack LE, particularly those utilized by the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY). The rear loader design seems to be a combination of the E-Z Pack M-200/C-200 and the Loadmaster Legacy rear loaders. The ''GTA IV's* Trashmaster includes a snow plow mount, a different grille, possibly influenced by the WhiteGMC Xpeditor WXLL, and unique tail lights and headlights.
