The Landrock Motors Cube Truck (also known as a Cube Van) is a vehicle in Watch Dogs 2.
Design[]
The Cube Truck is a box van variant of the Landrock Van 2500, sharing the cab of the vehicle, fitting a wide rear axle with twin wheels and a large box on the rear for storage, fitted with large doors. Thus the van has a dual rear wheel configuration (often called "dually" or "DRW"), just like the large vehicles in-game. The Cube Truck is more spartan and utility-oriented compared to the Landrock Van 2500. It has negatively cambered front wheels, has a higher ride height, mud flaps, and uses a higher-profile set of tires.
Grey plastic replaces most chrome trim, and the lower portion of its headlamp clusters' DRL strips are omitted. Its grille is removed, and is replaced by a plastic fake. Wing mirrors are omitted and replaced in similar treatment with larger ones placed on plastic stalks. Raised plastic bumps are located on the bumper, presumably for scratch protection or as a rudimentary park assist. The Cube Truck possesses the same rear doors as the Boxvan.
Performance[]
The majority of the van shares the same performance as the Ambulance, having a high mass and good torque makes it an ideal choice for clearing paths through stationary vehicles. It also features a distinctive high-revving engine that compensates for its weight and the engine itself actually sounds different than the engine of the Landrock Van 2500. Several other vehicles like the Convoy and Tributary 3500 share the same engine sound as well. The vehicle features a transversely laid 4 cylinder engine powering the rear axle through a 6 speed gearbox, which gives the vehicle moderately higher power than the 2500, which combined with its relatively significant mass means the vehicle is a threat to other vehicles.
While the front of the vehicle remains as susceptible to damage as the regular Landrock Van 2500, sharing the same cab design, the rear is particularly immune to damage from both weaponry and ramming force, protecting the driver. The van's design and tall build does allow the vehicle to maneuver and potentially lose control at high speed, unless the player has full control of the acceleration. When hacked in a direction, the van typically causes significant damage to parked vehicles, usually causing them to burst into flames, like other vehicles.

Variants[]
- In one of the Driver SF missions, "Fragile Cargo" features a unique white Cube Truck with "FRAGILE" markings and red warning patterns on it. According to the woman seen in the mission, it contained an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus.
- The Tidis variant which is only parked in the Tidis HQ, despite they are never found driving around San Francisco.
- The Dedsec Phony Truck is simply a dark blue Cube Truck with DedSec graffiti made by the Bratva. It only appers in the No Compromise DLC.
- The Ambulance despite being a separate vehicle in the game, is the emergency variant of the Cube Van. Both vehicles share the same chassis design and performance. However, the Ambulance has a modified bull bar and a different box design.
Locations[]
- Tends to spawn across San Francisco and Oakland, however it is relatively common in urban areas.
- Commonly parked in parking lots, particularly near city and infrastructure.
- Almost always appears on Golden Gate Bridge.
- Commonly parked around the main police headquarters towards the slip-off raised platform leading off Bay Bridge.
- Parked in and around the docks area of Oakland.
- These can spawn more frequently on highways, just like any other truck.

Trivia[]
- The distinctive high-revving engine sound is a combination of two vehicles from Driver San Francisco, another Ubisoft game: the Van Doorn Atlus and the Ram 3500.
