The Baggage Handler (or Baggage) is a small airport tug featured in GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, GTA: Vice City Stories and .
The Baggage Handler is presumably based on an older Clark CT towing tractor, with a flattened design.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the vehicle is designed as an open-air, single-seat airport tug, where the front end is rounded and features a small bumper at the bottom and a square-shaped grille with four separations in the center, while the sections beside it house circular headlights and small indicators above. The front engine compartment is relatively large and mounts what looks like an exhaust on the right-hand side. The driver section is situated behind the engine compartment and is offset to the left, with the steering wheel centered to the seat, and with small dials on the right, followed by a small luggage compartment with guard rails and cases. The rear section assumes a slanted shape on the upper half and a flat end on the lower half, having small marker lights on the rear surface of the luggage compartment, large red tail lights with a tow hitch on the lower half, and a large bumper at the bottom. Both renditions spawn in a white primary color around the body, although the GTA Vice City Stories rendition may spawn in other colors as well.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the vehicle largely remains identical, albeit with several changes on the model: the front bumper is mounted at a lower height and the grille has an additional separation, while the engine compartment has an openable hood and a longer exhaust with what seems to be a rain cap. There are also vented details on the lower sides and grab handles near the driver compartment, as well as the corresponding fuel cap on the left-hand side and a small box on the right-hand side of the driver compartment. The luggage compartment mounts an amber beacon that flashes at night, while the compartment itself may appear empty or with a large toolbox, a small case and earmuffs as separate extras. On the rear end, the upper half features a small handle in the center and circular tail lights on the edges (consisting of upper main/brake units and lower reverse units), while the lower half adds black/yellow warning stickers beside the hitch (with the hitch able to tow a Baggage Box, its open variant or Tug Stairs). The vehicle is only seen in a light gray primary color applied to the body.
The Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars rendition receives a longer frontal engine compartment in order to better scale the vehicle to gameplay. Regardless, when driven, the driver appears oversized due to a minuscule driver compartment. In the PSP version of the game, the Baggage Handler is surgical green, whereas in the DS version, it is white.
