The Patriot in GTA IV is redesigned based on the Hummer H1's successor, the 2003-2009 Hummer H2, and carries the [[Mammoth]] marque. Unlike its predecessors, the GTA IV Patriot's design does not appear to be intended for rugged off-road used, featuring low-profile tires (which may or may not be aftermarket) for one. Some Patriot may come with a American Flag Vinyl on the side (hence the name "Patriot", and also emit engine sounds much like the Ford Mustang GT from the ''[[wp:Need for Speed|Need for Speed]]'' games.

In GTA Chinatown Wars, the Patriot is depicted with a two-door, pickup truck-like body style, similar to a 2-door [[wp:Hummer H1|Hummer H1]] pickup truck, complete with a permanent canvas covering over its extended bed, while retaining its oversized and angular design. This marks the first time in the series the Patriot is depicted in this form.

An amusing event may occur if a Patriot engages in a head-on crash with an [[Infernus]] - or an Infernus crashes into the rear of a Patriot. Due to the Infernus' extremely low profile and the Patriot's high, wide profile, such a collision may result in the Infernus "scooping" the Patriot into the air if hitting from the rear and the Patriot using the Infernus almost like a ramp if colliding from the front.

The GTA IV rendition is similar but has some changes. The Patriot, like its real life counterpart the [[wp:Hummer H2|Hummer H2]] is extremely heavy and as a result cannot go particularly fast with the patriots top speed being 180km/h (110mph). Because of its weight the Patriot's engine sometimes struggles to pull its heavy weight. The patriot also has a very soft suspension and its ground clearence its relatively high too. The patriot's brakes arent that good and caution must be used when the player goes at high speeds. The patriot has a rather wide turning radius and because of its suspension, it has a tendensy of rolling over which also limit's its usefullness to high speed car chases. The Patriot can pretty much plow through any given opstacle, and because of its height can run over small cars or fences. The Engine lid is hinged to the front and wont fly off if an impact disloges it.  
The GTA IV rendition is similar but has some changes. It is ridiculously heavy for an SUV, and as a result cannot go particularly fast, with a top speed of 135 km/h (84 mph) limiting its usefulness in high speed chases. Its engine seems to struggle to pull the weight, but is not easily stalled by crashes. The Patriot can practically drive over most small objects including cars to fences. The Patriot is also top heavy, and has a propensity to roll over in extreme turns. However, it is extremely durable as a result, able to soak up [[Weapons in GTA IV|bullets]] and crashes and keep going. Its suspension is incredibly soft, causing immense body roll and roll oversteer even on slight turns. The Patriot lacks in the ability to turn well, due to its large turning circle, and as a result has to be slowed down to go round any sort of bend.


The off-road performance of GTA IV's Patriot is, as expected, excellent, with high ground clearance, good approach and departure angles, and the engine has enough power to pull the car up steep sandy hills without trouble.
The off-road performance of GTA IV's Patriot is, as expected, excellent, with high ground clearance, good approach and departure angles, and the engine has enough power to pull the car up steep sandy hills without trouble. The Patriot is also very much capable of literally running over smaller vehicles, which makes it an excellent choice when being chased by small police cruisers. Like many heavy duty trucks, its engine lid is hinged to the front, and will not fly off if an impact dislodges it.
 
The Patriot is best used for combat, off roading, and crusing. The patriot is good for combat because it has a stong body which is able to withstand loads of bullets, it also has a small cabin which makes shooting out the occupants rather difficult, and its engine doesnt stall easily and at low wanted levels the patriot can plow through small police cars.The enigne is also strong enough to push/tow heavy trucks or cars. Other than that the patriot is great for cruising or to impress a [[Girlfriend]].  


Due to its weight, durability and speed, the Patriot can plough through most traffic quite easily, even flipping smaller cars, SUVs, small trucks, and other Patriots.

The Patriot is an off-road vehicle in the Grand Theft Auto franchise that spoofs the AM General HMMWV and Hummer line of heavy SUVs.

Design

In general, the Patriot is depicted as a large SUV, employed by both the military and civilians. The Patriot resembles an AM General HMMWV (GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA Vice City Stories), a Hummer H1 (GTA III, GTA Liberty City Stories, GTA Chinatown Wars) and a Hummer H2 (GTA IV, GTA V).

GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories

In GTA III and Liberty City Stories, it is popular as a civilian SUV, often found in Portland and Staunton Island. In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories, however, the vehicle is reserved for military use, reflecting the adoption of the HMMWV at the time and the civilian Hummer having yet to gain the popularity that it would in later years. These military Patriots come with four different bed configurations.

The design of the Patriot undergoes only minor cosmetic changes for most of the GTA III era. The GTA San Andreas rendition, however, features significant modifications on the body which present the Patriot as a more rugged, off-road vehicle. This Patriot features a shortened truck bed, slanting A and C pillars, a vehicle snorkel (which unfortunately does not allow the truck to wade in water) and redesigned front and rear fascia.

The military variants of the Patriot are exclusively painted military green in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, and beige in GTA San Andreas; the GTA Vice City Stories variant also features a five-pointed star on the hood lid, denoting its association with the United States' armed forces.

During development, the Patriot in GTA III was previously known as the "Hum Vee", after the HMMWV's "Humvee" nickname. The Hum Vee differs from the Patriot in its particularly low ground clearance, and in the front of the vehicle being more similar to the real-life Humvee's.

GTA IV — GTA V

The Patriot in GTA IV is redesigned based on the Hummer H1's successor, the 2003-2009 Hummer H2, and carries the Mammoth marque. Unlike its predecessors, the GTA IV Patriot's design does not appear to be intended for rugged off-road used, featuring low-profile tires (which may or may not be aftermarket) for one. Some Patriots may come with American flag vinyls on the side, and also emit engine sounds much like the Ford Mustang GT from the Need for Speed games.

In GTA Chinatown Wars, the Patriot is depicted with a two-door, pickup truck-like body style, similar to a 2-door Hummer H1 pickup truck, complete with a permanent canvas covering over its extended bed, while retaining its oversized and angular design. This marks the first time in the series the Patriot is depicted in this form.

An amusing event may occur if a Patriot engages in a head-on crash with an Infernus - or an Infernus crashes into the rear of a Patriot. Due to the Infernus' extremely low profile and the Patriot's high, wide profile, such a collision may result in the Infernus "scooping" the Patriot into the air if hitting from the rear and the Patriot using the Infernus almost like a ramp if colliding from the front.

The GTA V rendition of the Patriot is based on the GTA IV rendition, however additional options may be featured in the future.

Performance

GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories

The GTA III era Patriot has medium top speed, due to its heavy weight. It is very durable, and has outstanding off-road capabilities, mainly because of high ground clearance, unusual width, and suspension. It can climb very steep gradients due to its low gear boost, and does not roll, due to the low center of gravity. Because it has a low gear boost, its engine sounds big, and it is average speed for a large, heavy SUV, it wouldn't be a bad idea to assume that the Patriot has a turbocharged V8.

GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars

The GTA IV rendition is similar but has some changes. It is ridiculously heavy for an SUV, and as a result cannot go particularly fast, with a top speed of 135 km/h (84 mph) limiting its usefulness in high speed chases. Its engine seems to struggle to pull the weight, but is not easily stalled by crashes. The Patriot can practically drive over most small objects including cars to fences. The Patriot is also top heavy, and has a propensity to roll over in extreme turns. However, it is extremely durable as a result, able to soak up bullets and crashes and keep going. Its suspension is incredibly soft, causing immense body roll and roll oversteer even on slight turns. The Patriot lacks in the ability to turn well, due to its large turning circle, and as a result has to be slowed down to go round any sort of bend.

The off-road performance of GTA IV's Patriot is, as expected, excellent, with high ground clearance, good approach and departure angles, and the engine has enough power to pull the car up steep sandy hills without trouble. The Patriot is also very much capable of literally running over smaller vehicles, which makes it an excellent choice when being chased by small police cruisers. Like many heavy duty trucks, its engine lid is hinged to the front, and will not fly off if an impact dislodges it.

Due to its weight, durability and speed, the Patriot can plough through most traffic quite easily, even flipping smaller cars, SUVs, small trucks, and other Patriots.

Variants

GTA III

  • A bulletproof variant of the Patriot is given to the player after successfully driving Ray Machowski to safety during "Marked Man". Besides being impervious to bullets, the truck is otherwise similar in every way to a conventional Patriot.

GTA San Andreas

  • Big Smoke's drug couriers typically drive Patriots which are impervious to gunfire, fire damage and explosions. The player can obtain one before "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom" by waiting at the vehicle's spawn point in Ganton on Friday at around 5:00 a.m. with a Towtruck, and declining the offer to intercept the Patriot's haul. While this still triggers the Patriot to spawn, the vehicle will simply drive away like regular traffic; damaging the Patriot will send the driver exiting, allowing the player to tow the Patriot using the Towtruck to the nearest garage.

GTA Liberty City Stories

  • The Colombian Cartel owns a unique pink Patriot with a blue reflection during "Contra-Banned". The player can obtain it by pushing it into shallow water. When the mission fails, push it back up and take it to a garage.
  • The Sindacco Family uses a Patriot during the mission "A Volatile Situation". This patriot has a dark brown colour with a red reflection. To get it just simply finish the mission while driving the car.
