The '''Cartel Cruiser''' is a four-wheel-drive crew cab pickup truck. It is used exclusively by the [[Colombian Cartel]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. | |||
==Description== | |||
=== Design === | |||
In general, the Cartel Cruiser is a 4-door pickup truck, similar to a 2002–2006 [[:wp:Chevrolet Avalanche|Chevrolet Avalanche]], but featuring frontal styling of a generic 1990s Ford pickup truck. The Cruiser also features a roll bar in the back, side runners, a blue paintjob, and foglights on the grill. Similar to the [[Forelli Exsess]], [[Sindacco Argento]] and [[Yardie Lobo]], it does not have a non-gang variant. | |||
At one point of [[Content Changes in GTA III|game development of GTA III]], the Cartel Cruiser was known as the '''Columbia'''<ref>[http://www.rockstarnorth.com/flashSite/theLab/vehicle/columbia/001.html Rockstar North's website], a render of the car</ref>, possibly a reference to the Colombian Cartel's name. The old name is still evidently used in a showcase of the truck at the official [[Rockstar North]] website. | |||

=== Performance === | |||
The Cartel Cruiser's engine is powerful enough to send its all wheel drive system into slides, which is unusual for the GTA III engine. The Cruiser is turbocharged, but suffers from turbo lag, where the car has poor acceleration from a standing start, until the turbo cuts in. This can be heard, when the engine noise becomes louder and more aggressive. At higher revs, it can defeat a [[Patriot]] (a similar vehicle) in a straight line drag race. However, its high center of gravity causes the body to roll in corners. | The Cartel Cruiser's engine is powerful enough to send its all wheel drive system into slides, which is unusual for the GTA III engine.

In GTA Liberty City Stories, the Cartel Cruiser isn't as speedy as it was in GTA III, with the engine sounds more like a truck's and heavier than the one on GTA III, but maintains much of its predecessor's design and accessories, with a noticeable change in the grill mounted spotlights (from white to red).

While possessing poor acceleration, its handling is reasonable, but its top speed is moderate. | ||
