The Phantom Wedge is equipped with a CB Radio, much like the standard variant.Despite having no ballistic weaponry attached to the vehicle, the wedge is considered to be a weapon itself, meaning the use of Passive Mode is not allowed while in the Phantom Wedge the same applies to the Ramp Buggy.
Can be purchased by CEOs with a Vehicle Warehouse from Warstock Cache & Carry for $2,553,600 or $1,920,000 ( SecuroServ trade price).The player may use either their personal or stolen Phantom Wedge in The Lost Contract finale to transport the Lost MC meth supply from Stab City to Chef.
Additionally, one may spawn around the vicinity of the Port of Los Santos guarded by security guards.
It shares the same engine sound from the regular Phantom and many industrial trucks, only with a slight higher-revving tone due to the improved engine power. The vehicle's exposed engine means the visible timing belt functions, rotating the cams and crank, similar in fashion to the Fränken Stange and Tornado Rat Rod. The badges are retained from the regular Phantom, stating it is a supercharged 24 valve engine (despite no supercharger being present). Instead of the traditional box-shaped engine, the Phantom Wedge utilizes a single-cam V8 engine. This issue was shared with the Ramp Buggy. If the player was still ramming cars after said warning, the engine will stop working, disabling the Phantom Wedge. Prior to the Arena War update, the Phantom Wedge could be damaged by ramming multiple cars, causing its engine to emit smoke from the sides. Players in the rear section can switch seats when a slot is available, offering total coverage for defense with two-handed weapons (namely Carbine Rifles and Combat MGs), at the cost of being vulnerable to fall from the truck if it flips down or being hit by another vehicle. Its only downside is that the wedge makes the vehicle much longer than usual, being very tricky to navigate through alleyways, buildings other similar environments. The truck can be advantageous over the Ramp Buggy or the Armored Boxville, as not only can hit small vehicles with ease, but can depart other heavy vehicles with no problem. The Phantom Wedge improves drastically over its regular counterpart, as it has better acceleration and top speed. It also retains the industrial wheel design from the regular Phantom. The Phantom appears with a rusty appearance and spawns with a single primary color for the cabin and the sleeper cab (which alternates between white and black in naturally-generated examples). Players in the rear section can also switch seats if there is an empty slot. Unlike the regular Phantom, the Phantom Wedge can carry three additional passengers on the back if no trailers are attached to it, with two sitting on either side access ladder and one on the rear end, near the fifth wheel. The front fenders are partially cut and the roof has two circular headlights, while the side access ladders on the rear section are wider. The Phantom's hood has been removed in order to fit the massive structure that connects the wedge to the truck, composed of welded bars placed around the front and to the rear area of the vehicle. Its appearance appears to be heavily based on the Wedge Truck used by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman in their last episode of the popular show MythBusters, in the Grand Finale, where they used it to plow through all the props used in their long-lasting run. The Phantom Wedge, as the name implies, is a modified version of the Phantom with a large, defensive metal wedge added to the front to ram vehicles.
