The change is also accompanied by degraded performance as it is not as fast as previous renditions, and the GTA IV rendition of the van no longer features sporty accessories. The Burrito appears more like a service van (with a roof rack), with extra weight to withstand damage, but poor acceleration because of its uneven weight. However, the Burrito is the fastest vehicle in the [[Race|"van" class]], reaching a top speed of 151 mph (244 km/h).

A Burrito in GTA Vice City, with optional roof-mounted lights and spoiler.

The Burrito is a van which appears in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Description

GTA Vice City — Vice City Stories

The Burrito is widely considered to be the best van in the GTA III Era games, with moderately good speed and acceleration, stable handling and steering, and moderate braking and endurance. It has room for four people, with two sitting in the rear.

The GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, and GTA Vice City Stories renditions resemble a 1986-1992 Dodge Ram Van, similar to the GTA III Rumpo (the Rumpo remained available in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, but took on a new design). The GTA VC and GTA SA Burritos are available with or without a spoiler and roof-mounted lights; these features are standard on all Burritos in GTA Vice City Stories. The Burrito in GTA Vice City Stories features two-tone body colors, unlike the other renditions.

GTA IV

The Burrito is reintroduced in GTA IV in a redesigned form, bearing a Declasse brand. It resembles a 1996-2002 Chevrolet Express from the front, with a significantly altered grille design; the sides are primarily derived from the third-generation Chevrolet Van, with some of the more modern styling of the Express; the rear is derived from the second-generation Chevrolet Van, apart from the taillights, which resemble those of the Dodge Ram Van. The standard Burrito no longer features the sporty accessories; in GTA IV, these are seen only on the Gang Burrito

The GTA IV Burrito has degraded performance; it is not as fast as previous renditions, and, although its extra mass allows it to withstand more damage, this gives it poor acceleration. Nonetheless, the Burrito is the fastest vehicle in the "van" class, reaching a top speed of 151 mph (244 km/h).

Companies which use the Burrito include T. Watt and Sons Electricians, Spin on This Laundromat, LIB EL and Pharte Gas.

The front cab of the GTA IV Ambulance is derived from the front of the Burrito, despite having Brute badging rather than Declasse.

GTA Chinatown Wars

The Burrito resembles a wrecked van prop found throughout GTA IV.

Variants

Gang Burrito

The Burrito is adopted as a gang vehicle in both GTA Vice City and The Lost and Damned. Known as the Gang Burrito, the variant features additional modifications, including unique accessories and custom paintjobs. The TLAD Gang Burrito also reintroduces certain sporty accessories omitted during the development of the Burrito in GTA IV.

Yellow Burrito

A Burrito with a unique yellow paintjob can be acquired in GTA San Andreas. To obtain it, start the mission "Mike Toreno" and get to the point where T-bone and Mike start shooting at the van. Their bullets will not damage the van, allowing the player time to acquire a Tow Truck/Tractor. Once the player obtains one, they can kill T-bone or Mike, failing the mission, and leaving the vehicle free to be towed to the nearest garage.

Laundromat

A special model of the Burrito in GTA IV, dubbed the Laundromat, is used by the Laundromat owner who attempts to escape from Niko in Vlad's mission Hung Out to Dry. It seems that it was not intended to be driven by the player; nonetheless, if the player goes around the back of the Laundromat during the mission, it can be stolen and saved at a safehouse. It is merely a Burrito without the standard roof rack, and with "Monthly Cycle Laundromat" markings.
