Civilian Vehicles are cars or trucks which are non-attack units, serving more as environmental objects. They appear as obstacles in Metal Slug: Super Vehicle-001, Metal Slug 2/X, Metal Slug 4 and Metal Slug 3D, as a background element in Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug Defense and Metal Slug Attack, and as part of the Brain Robot's attacks in Metal Slug 6.
Information[]
These vehicles appear in city missions. When destroyed, they are thrown into the air by the explosion and fall back to the street, causing another explosion which kills anyone who is near it. The player can ride on the lifted vehicle to collect items high up in the air. Some vehicles drop items when destroyed. In the first Metal Slug, the SV-001 can easily crush vehicles by driving over them. Most car designs are inspired from the mid 1950s and the early 1960s, even some of them made their references in the game.

"Hog" Truck : Based on 1960 International B110 panel truck(2nd generation, see page), if you see the frontal body, the front body looks almost similar.
