Description

Design

Similar (but not identical) to the Rancher, the Sandking appears to be based on a second generation Chevrolet K5 Blazer with customizations similar to a Bowler Wildcat. In all of its appearances, the Sandking is depicted with myriad modifications commonly associated with other high performance off-road vehicles such as the Dune and Bandito. It has the words "Sand Masters Cup" written on the side; in addition to its racing liveries, the Sandking boasts large MMT branded offroad wheels, a large spoiler, and several air scoops on the hood lid and roof.

Performance

The Sandking has excellent handling, due to its elevated suspension system, and the strong grip of its MMT tires. The vehicle is capable of high speeds, while staying easily controllable. In GTA San Andreas, it is sometimes available with hydraulics common in lowriders.

Trivia

  • Due to programmer error, the PC version of the GTA San Andreas Sandking lacks a sheen, and features white squares in place of sponsorship stickers.
  • The Sandking plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
    • K-DST in GTA San Andreas.
