Landstalker in Grand Theft Auto III

The Landstalker is an SUV that is available on all but one of the Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto IV.

In GTA IV there are standard Landstalkers in a variety of colours, as well as black Landstalkers which have step side rails and TV screens in the headrests. These tend to be a little harder to find. Throughout its appearance, gamers have cited the vehicle as being notoriously unstable with its high center of gravity, and susceptibility to rollovers. The new Landstalker in GTA IV does not roll over anymore. The GTA IV version oversteers alot, gets some understeer and is the largest SUV yet in the GTA series.

In GTA IV, after collecting all thirty cars for Stevie he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Landstalker fetching $3,000.

Design

In each game, it has a different design, and in some cases, resembling not a specific car. In Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, it doesn't resemble a specific car. However, in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, it resembles a Jeep Wagoneer with the grille and lights of a fourth generation Ford Bronco, the front bumper is from a first generation Chevrolet S-10 or S-10 Blazer (the lights grille could also be from it and probably are since the Bronco came out later). In Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, the Landstalker has a grille and chassis like a Jeep Grand Cherokee (and maybe also the headlights), the front bumper is once again from a first generation Chevy S-10 or S-10 Blazer, the wood panels look like those of a Jeep Wagoneer, and it sounds like it sports a V8.

In GTA IV, it resembles a 2003-2006 Lincoln Navigator, with elements of the Ford Excursion and Chevy Suburban but it also looks like an Infiniti QX56 or a Chrysler Aspen. It is manufactured by the Maibatsu Corporation in all games except GTA IV, where Dundreary Motors manufactures it.Because of the car's heavy weight, it's acceleration is poor as does it's top speed, but because it doesn't roll a lot it handles reasonably well. A special black edition of the GTA IV version can be seen driving around North Holland. It's changes include a chrome side scuff bar, it's luggage rails on the top have been removed, only avaliable in black, and if you position the camera to the back you'll find TV's stored in the front seats.
