The Brickade is roughly based on the military Navistar and on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RG-12 RG-12 APC] produced by Land Systems OMC. Its a large but stumpy and generic [[wp:Armoured bus|armored bus-like]] van, similar to the [[Securicar]] (which interestingly bears a similar "Stockade" badge), but adopts a cab-over design, a beige bodywork and much smaller wheels. In addition to a thick body shell, the Brickade is also equipped with plating that protects the front radiator grill, as well as steel mesh grating covering the front windscreen and wheel wells (which does not actually protect the Brickade's tires from gunfire). The Brickade is implied to be associated with the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|police]], as it has a [[Police Radio|police radio]] and the ability to pass through [[tollbooths]] without paying. However, unlike most police vehicles, the Brickade can use a [[Pay 'n' Spray]]. Although it bears no badging, police chatter implies the Brickade is manufactured by [[HVY]]. Despite it having two doors in the front and two doors in the back like the Stockades, it can only fit two people in it as the back doors are not programed to open and fit people in the back like the stockades can, they will only open upon heavy impact. This is because the Brickade is a unfinished project which will make it notible for missing a few details. | The Brickade is roughly based on the military Navistar and on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RG-12 RG-12 APC] produced by Land Systems OMC.

== Color == | == Color == | ||
The upper area is a faded gold color, in the middle it has brown stripes with a faded gold color below it. Not even online multiplayer car mods can change the color of it. The only thing the mods can change on it is the color between the area the door opens and closes, otherwise its main body color is the same. The area in between the door can be red , black, or silver depending on the Brickade that was spawned. If you take the Brickade to a [[Pay 'n' Spray]] it will only spray one color. One possible reason that it lets you take it to a Pay 'n' Spray when it is classified as a police vehicle is the fact that its a unfinished project and rockstar did not program the Brickade to be rejected when attempting to respray it. | |||

Given its armored construction and subsequently heavy weight, the Brickade's performance is as expected for a vehicle of its class. | Given its armored construction and subsequently heavy weight, the Brickade's performance is as expected for a vehicle of its class. | ||
