Hello and welcome back to the one-hundred and twenty-third episode of this GTA III The Definitive Edition video game series. Today, we’re gonna take the Perennial out for a spin and search for our next vehicle, for our Import/Export Exchange List in Portland Docks garage.
Oh my god, their’s something we need. How about that. Wasn’t expecting that. So, we just acquired the ‘Flatbed‘. Apparently, It’s quite rare to spawn here. So, I’m not taking any chances going near the hostile Leone Mafia.
I’m going right around. Never mind the Triads. Two pumps of the Shotgun and then It’s blown up. Get out the way you joke! Ah, you would normally find this vehicle over at Staunton Island, near the Construction Site. So, their’s the Flatbed. Let’s see if we can get in here. And theirs the Flatbed crossed off the list.
Three vehicles remain. It actually gets exciting with the less vehicles that remain, cause It’s harder to find the vehicle. So when you find it, like that Flatbed and particularly when It’s a rare spawn, It’s pretty exciting. Whoa, I hope you enjoyed this episode and I’ll see you on the next!
Summary
Grand Theft Auto 3: The Definitive Edition can bring a wave of nostalgia mixed with fresh thrills for returning players, especially with its unique side missions. One exciting endeavour is the Flatbed Import/Export task that you can tackle in Liberty City. Unlike the main storyline missions, this one lets you explore and strategize on how to meet its specific requirements.
In this particular mission, you’re on the hunt for any Flatbed truck, a vehicle not commonly seen on every street corner in the game. The goal is simple: find this elusive khaki truck and deliver it at the Portland Docks Garage for a fast exchange. But executing this mission isn’t straightforward due to the rarity of the Flatbed’s, making it a real test of your navigation and vehicle-nabbing skills.
This mission may not be part of the main storyline, but successfully delivering a Flatbed is a rewarding experience. Not only does it earn you $1000 GTA for it, but completing the entire list unlocks further benefits that enhance gameplay. So while it doesn’t push the narrative forward, it’s got unique perks that can enrich your Liberty City adventures.
So, how do you start on this mission? It’s all about understanding the city’s layout, knowing where Flatbeds might appear, and strategizing your approach. Stay organized, plan your routes, and keep your eyes peeled. In short, being methodical and patient can make these side missions both satisfying and highly beneficial. If you manage to find one, stay away from the Leone Mafia if they’re hostile toward Claude Speed because two pumps of the Shotgun can spell disaster.

Locating and Securing Flatbeds in Liberty City
Finding a Flatbed in Liberty City can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. This massive vehicle, inspired by the real-life M939 ‘5-ton’ truck, doesn’t just cruise around town like a common sedan. So, how do you catch this big fish in GTA 3’s Definitive Edtion? Knowing where to search makes all the difference.
One of your best bets is Chinatown in Portland. This bustling area sees a few Flatbeds rolling through, but keep your eyes sharp as they’re not as frequent as standard vehicles. Then there’s Fort Staunton or Aspatria on Staunton Island, here are other hotspots where these trucks might pop up. Timing and persistence scouring are key. Go at different times, patrol the streets, and keep your radar up for that unmistakable silhouette of a Flatbed.
Getting hold of a Flatbed isn’t just about knowing where to look; it’s about being prepared. Patrol the target areas with a fast car ready for quick getaways once you spot the truck. Patience is your friend in these missions; sometimes, you’ll need a stake-out plan to increase your chances of success.
Snatching that Flatbed isn’t without its risks. It’s a large vehicle that can be tough to manoeuvre, especially if you’re trying to dodge traffic or evade the police. Make sure to plot a safe escape route beforehand. And when you finally secure one and are headed for the docks, drive carefully. Delivering the truck in one piece means your time and effort pay off.
Rewards and Final Objective
Grinding through side tasks like the Flatbed Import/Export Exchange brings its own set of rewards that can significantly enhance your gameplay. Apart from the $1000 GTA reward for each unique vehicle delivery, the greatest incentive comes once you’ve managed to complete the full list of required vehicles.
By reaching the ultimate goal of delivering the 16th vehicle, you bag a hefty $200,000 GTA. This windfall gives you some real spending power in Liberty City, allowing you to buy weapons that empower your overall journey.
The perks don’t stop there. After you’ve delivered a Flatbed, the vehicle becomes freely accessible at the garage provided all 16 vehicles are stored. You can use it any time without spending a dime. This is particularly useful if a mission calls for more rugged, heavy-duty transport options. Having these vehicles at your disposal makes future missions and city escapades that much easier.
With these strategic benefits lined up, there’s plenty of reason to tackle the Import/Export side-mission. You’ll find that the steps taken to secure the unmistakable Flatbed contribute to a broader, more robust experience within the game. So treat each vehicle exchange as a chance to boost your resources and enjoy the added advantages of a stocked garage.
Wrapping up the Import/Export mission list sets you up as a well-equipped player ready to handle whatever Liberty City throws your way next. It’s not just about the immediate rewards; it’s about leveraging these perks to become a true force in the game’s sprawling urban landscape.
