Is Phantom Wedge in GTA 5 Online still worth buying?

The Jobuilt Phantom Wedge in GTA 5 Online is a unique vehicle known for its front wedge. It is a modified semi-trailer truck that Rockstar Games added to the online multiplayer title with the Import/Export DLC update in 2016, when it immediately caught the attention of many with its intimidating appearance. Many gamers have tried this truck and created special stunt moments with it. However, it’s now 2025, and players may wonder if the Phantom Wedge is worth buying anymore.

Simply put, yes, the Phantom Wedge in GTA 5 Online is still valuable, albeit more as a collectible than an on-road vehicle. This article further breaks down a few important details about the truck that gamers should know before buying it.

Design of the Jobuilt Phantom Wedge in GTA 5 Online

The Jobuilt Phantom Wedge in GTA 5 Online has a big profile and is basically a modified version of the Phantom truck. It is seemingly inspired by the Wedge Truck from the MythBusters show. As its name suggests, it has a big metal wedge in the front, giving it a uniquely intimidating appearance. Here are some of its other visual characteristics one should know about:

No hood for making space for the wedge
Welded bars
Partially cut front fenders
Two circular headlights on the roof
Wider side-access ladders
A rusty overall appearance

What makes the GTA 5 Phantom Wedge different from the regular Phantom truck is its ability to carry three additional passengers — two sitting on the side-access ladders, and one on the rear end.

The truck comes only in a rusty primary color for the cabin. Now, let’s learn about its performance in the following segment.
