[[ | The '''Cartel Cruiser''' is a four-wheel-drive crew cab pickup truck. It is used exclusively by the [[Grand Theft Auto III|Colombian Cartel]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[FBI Cruiser|Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]].

Stories version of the gang car is simply named the "'''Cartel'''" to avoid confusion with the [[wp:Chevrolet Avalanche|FBI Cruiser]]. | |||

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, it's handling is pretty reasonable too, but it's top speed is moderate. | 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).
