CarLoader         : CarLoader is a program that keeps track of cars and tracks for Midtown Madness. I suggest getting this program (http://drive.to/carloader). This van might not be compatible with CarLoader. If it isn't follow the following instructions. It will read the file as "(error) vpgmcvan.ar". To fix it, let it finish loading, then right click "(error) vpgmcvan.ar" and select "Change Name" and change it to "GMC Utilimaster". Move the picture that's included in the zip to your CarLoader images folder. To view the picture, right click "GMC Utilimaster" and select "View".

Recommended       : 90-100% Physics, anything lower and the car's steering gets too sensitive and it may tip on two wheels.

Notes             :
***************************************
It's a normal delivery van you might find roaming the streets. Not much detail here. It's the Traffic Mod 2 delivery van with a few extra stuff. It's also about 20% smaller than the van in TM2 because I felt it was way too big. And I know FedEx and UPS don't use this particular model van, but I think people can overlook that technicality. If you want to complain and moan about it's not the right van, go make one yourself (that's better than all aspects of this van) and then tell me I suck.

Model             : It's not very detailed. It's got 3D mirrors, bumpers, and wheels. The body itself is about 400 polys and the wheels are 500. Like I said, it's just the TM2 delivery van with a few extra goodies.

Sounds            : The drive and idle sounds are from the LTV in MM2. The reverse alarm and air brakes are default sounds. I don't think the real vans have air brakes, but I couldn't have the reverse alarm without having the airbrakes too.

Tuning            : It handles really weird. It seems to understeer when cornering unless you use the handbrake. It'll also nosedive really sharply. It has a 4-speed automatic transaxle and a 5-speed manual. It can do 0-60 in about 15 seconds and a top speed of under 100 MPH. It sways a lot too. Eh, not much to say about it, just go drive it.

Textures          : It comes with a generic white/gray color so you can photochop a logo on it or something for screenshots. It also has the famous FedEx and UPS color schemes. I believe these are the older designs for the logos and such. Why the older logos? Because they look better IMO. And the last color is a fictional company. Really, it's just an excuse to make a green van (because I saw a green one in real life and thought it looked neat).

Dash              : This isn't the real dash that comes on this van. I made up the design since I couldn't find a decent straight-on picture. The aluminum background, top plastic, and the bevel edges were hand drawn. The cluster, steering wheel, vents, headlight switch, and HVAC were taken from pictures. It's even got that divider for the windows!

Known issues      : Minor reflection flaws (not really noticable unless you're looking for it). It doesn't stay in a straight line, but that error is kind of hard to fix. Real cars need minor adjustments of the wheel to keep it in a straight line anyways (or is it just the vehicles I've driven?).
