In Fast Five, what type of vehicle pulls the safe during the Rio heist?

The story behind the answer

In Fast Five, Dodge Chargers pull the safe during the Rio heist.

The climactic chase features Dominic Toretto and Brian O’Conner using heavily modified 2010 Dodge Charger SRT-8 vehicles to drag a large bank vault through the streets of Rio de Janeiro. The sequence became one of the franchise’s signature action scenes because the vault acts as both a moving obstacle and a weapon.

The answer refers to the cars doing the pulling, not the safe itself or the vehicles chasing them. The film uses multiple Chargers in the sequence, which is why the vehicle type is more precise than naming a single car color or driver.

Fast Five, released in 2011 and directed by Justin Lin, shifted the series decisively toward ensemble heist action. Its vault chase is often remembered as a bank-robbery scene, but the physical set piece was designed around the team escaping with the safe after stealing it from a police station.
