A Yosemite in GTA San Andreas (Rear quarter view).

The Yosemite is a full-size pickup truck featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description

Design

The Yosemite is evidently a full-size pickup truck larger in size than Bobcat, resembling a heavy-duty version of a 1988-1999 GMC Sierra full size pickup (but missing a pair of headlights). Its two-tone color schemes seem inspired by most early 1980s pickups. The vehicle is only capable of seating two. The truck is presumably named after the Yosemite National Park in California, probably as some link to the Sierra Nevada then the GMC Sierra.

The Yosemite cannot be modified.

Performance

Based on the vehicle's internal statistics, the Yosemite possess superior qualities over most other pickup trucks, with good speed, acceleration, and handling; these attributes were also tested by Rockstar to ascertain the vehicle's performance.

In practice, however, the Yosemite is revealed to be one of the heaviest pickup trucks in the game, resulting in poorer steering, less responsive brakes and sluggish acceleration, but still manages to achieve above average top speeds at straightaways. The truck may be useful for off-roading due to its high ground clearance, but its stiff suspension may also prove to be a problem when traversing rough terrain.

Trivia

  • The default radio station in the Yosemite is K-DST.
  • The PS2 version has a twin-rear axle, while the PC version doesn't.

Locations

The Yosemite can be found almost anywhere in San Andreas.
