Restrictions[edit]

You must reach Level 6 in order to enter any race 'Pick Up Truck Challenge'. You are limited to using one of the following cars:

Except for the Dodge, you will only find these in the Used Car Dealership, so check it every once in a while, eventually they appear.

  • Dodge RAM 1500 Hemi Quad Cab '04
  • Toyota Tacoma X-Runner '04
  • Ford SVT F-150 Lightning '03
  • Chevrolet SSR '03
  • Chevrolet Silverado SST Concept '02
  • Daihatsu Midget II D type '98

Other restrictions:

Tyres Unrestricted (GT5aspecicon.png) / Sports: Hard (GT5bspecicon.png)

Recommended Car[edit]

  • For both Specs, you can win with the Dodge RAM 1500 Hemi Quad Cab '04. The stock Dodge RAM will struggle on the Daytona track, however. A fully customizable transmission tuned for a maximum speed of over 170 mph will simplify the Daytona race considerably.
  • A Ford Lightning, lightly upgraded, is enough for A-Spec. If you can get it up to about 500bhp it should be enough to get you through the A-spec. To win with this vehicle in B-spec, some further upgrades will be necessary.
  • Toyota Tundra is perhaps the most cost effective option to win this challenge. With its relatively light weight and long stock gear ratio, a Tundra could achieve a easy win with only minor horsepower tweaks.

Races[edit]

The event consists of two races:

Track Laguna Seca Superpeedway - Daytona
A-Spec laps 3 3
B-Spec laps 6 6
