The Rancher is described as a medium-sized SUV designed with off-road capabilities in mind, featuring large tires, soft suspensions and a high ground clearance. Despite its size, the two-door Rancher is only capable of holding two occupants, as it rear compartment is not capable of carrying passengers, similar to two-door pickup trucks in the series. In general, the Rancher resembles a 1981-1991 Chevrolet K5 Blazer (but with different headlights). In GTA IV rendition, however, resembles the second generation or 1973-1980 K5 Blazer but the headlights look a bit closer to a third generation Ford Bronco. The GTA IV rendition is stated to be manufactured by [[Declasse]]. | The Rancher is described as a medium-sized SUV designed with off-road capabilities in mind, featuring large tires, soft suspensions and a high ground clearance.

Until GTA IV, the Rancher is depicted with a camper shell permanently included over its bed. The GTA IV rendition, however, features variants of the Rancher with or without a camper shell. Pickup variants of the Rancher may also include a roll bar with top-mounted offroad lights, a brush guard, or a bull bar. All variants of GTA IV's Rancher also feature nerf bars. It is also interesting to note that the rear bed lid of pre-GTA IV Ranchers are hinged to the top, while those of the GTA IV rendition have been modified with the lid hinged to the bottom on the truck bed, and an additional glass lid hinged to the top for the camper shell variant. | Until GTA IV, the Rancher is depicted with a camper shell permanently included over its bed.

=== Performance === | |||
As a medium SUV/truck, the Rancher may be considered above average in performance. While having only moderate acceleration and top speed, the Rancher's cornering is also acceptable due to its heighten and soft suspensions (despite its weight and size). The Rancher's bottom-heavy design also minimizes rollover. | As a medium SUV/truck, the Rancher may be considered above average in performance.
