The Tipper is a RARE vehicle in Crash of Cars.
Riveted with ships of steel. Not for the faint hearted.
Description[]
The Tipper is a yellow, end-dump rigid frame Haul Truck. In front if its black engine vents are two dark ladders, one angled and the other vertical. Its black cab located to the front-left corner is right beneath its container, surrounded partially by black railings and yellow compartments. Around them are miscellaneous platforms and containers for the vehicle's electrical and mechanical apparatuses with various cylindrical and rectangular bulging parts. Its roof, though flat, is not completely solid and contains cavities on three sides. Three strips divide the side of the dumper into four sections. Two large brake lights are situated on the back of the black chassis, and above them is a fender guarding its payload. The bottom half of the vehicle consist of just the chassis and four massive wheels, encased by the vehicle's bodywork & hull.
Strategies[]
As expected from a vehicle of this size, the Tipper is generally quite slow and vulnerable to a variety of projectiles and close range weapons, particularly Flamethrower.
However, compared to the similar-sized Polar, the Tipper's strength lies in its unusually high 7 health along with its huge mass (only matched by the War Machine). This allows the Tipper to push almost very vehicle with ease, and generate powerful knockback when it collides with other vehicle, potentially sends them into the bottomless pit or underwater as a result. In addition, for a vehicle of this size, the Tipper's handling is surprisingly decent. The Tipper can turn with relative ease (provided that there are enough room for its huge chassis), and has very good surface grip. This, along with its huge mass, means that the Tipper will be very difficult to turn over by other cars, and is maneuverable enough to get its weapons onto the targets.
As with other slow, large vehicles. The Tipper perform best with passive gameplay, roaming around the map and slowly collecting crowns. Because of its huge hitboxes, getting into a brawl with multiple vehicles are not advised, as it can be easily damaged from side ramming while having trouble to avoid them. In certain maps where pits or water surface were present, the Tipper can be used aggressively against lone opponents around these area by using its sheer mass to ram or push them to send them into the depth.

Trivia[]
- At 7 health, Tipper is the most durable rare vehicle.
- Judging from its livery and general , the Tipper appears to be based on a Caterpillar Inc. Haul Truck, with resemblances to several models including the 789, 785, 793F and 797F.
- Though all dump trucks are often associated with architecture and construction, Tipper actually stray from the main theme of its respective update. The Construction map has an urban settings, while Haul Trucks are not even road legal, as they're primarily used in quarries and mines for mass transport of bulk, being too large for regular roads and bridges.
- With that being said, the in-game Tipper is severely undersized for balancing reasons. Realistically, most vehicles' dimensions would not not even match one of its wheels, and with its mass, it should be able to severely damage if not demolish the vast majority of the avaliable vehicles with terrifying ease.
- The vehicle could be a throwback to Earn to Die 2, where the last avaliable one is likewise a massive, yellow haul truck, based on the Caterpillar 773D.
- The vehicle's name is a slang for a dump truck, commonly used on Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Though the Tipper's classification separates it from said trucks, Haul Trucks are employed in all three countries in part with their demands on heavy transport in the mining industry.
Changes in Updates[]
- Tipper was added in the Construction Update.
