The Cartel Cruiser (Also known as the Cartel) is a four-wheel-drive crew cab pickup truck. It is used exclusively by the Colombian Cartel in GTA III and Liberty City Stories.

Overview

The Cartel Cruiser is similar to the Bobcat but is taller, longer and considerably heavier. The vehicle always sports a dark blue paint job with chrome accents, a bull-bar and fog lights. It's reasonably fast for it's size and the engine puts out a deep rumble, which seems to suggest it's tuned, as most gang vehicles are. It's high ground clearance makes it a competent offroader (though not nearly as good as the Patriot), but at the same time this makes the vehicle somewhat unstable under rough cornering. Handling leaves a lot to be desired.

The Cartel Cruiser appears to be based on the early model Chevrolet Avalanche.
