	The Brickade is roughly based on a [http://www.flickr.com/photos/daveyhoppers/2949082877/ Prosegur armored car], similar to the [[Securicar]] (which interestingly ~~bears~~ a similar "Stockade" badge), but adopts a cab-over design, a beige bodywork and much smaller wheels~~. The Brickade is missing reverse lights and turn signals~~. In addition to a thick body shell, the Brickade is also equipped with plating that protects the front radiator grill, as well as steel mesh grating covering the front windscreen and wheel wells (which does not actually protect the Brickade's tires from gunfire). Despite it having two doors in the front and two doors in the back like the Stockades, it can only fit two people in it as the back doors are not programed to open and fit people in the back ~~like~~ the ~~stockades can~~, ~~they~~ will only open ~~upon heavy impact~~.

In addition to a thick body shell, the Brickade is also equipped with plating that protects the front radiator grill, as well as steel mesh grating covering the front windscreen and wheel wells (which does not actually protect the Brickade's tires from gunfire). Despite it having two doors in the front and two doors in the back like the Stockades (including the [[Securicar]]'s relatives, the [[Enforcer]] and [[Police Stockade]]), it can only fit two people in it as the back doors are not programed to open and fit people in the back similar to the Stockade models, and will only open after the vehicle is heavily damaged. Although it bears no badging, police chatter implies the Brickade is manufactured by [[HVY]]. The Brickade also lacks turn signals and reverse lights.

	The Brickade is implied to be associated with the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era\|police]], as it has a [[Police Radio\|police radio]] and the ability to pass through [[tollbooths]] without paying. However, unlike most police vehicles, the Brickade can use a [[Pay 'n' Spray]].

	Given its armored construction and subsequently heavy weight, the Brickade's performance is as expected for a vehicle of its class.		Given its armored construction and subsequently heavy weight, the Brickade's performance is poor but is fairly hardy, as expected for a vehicle of its class.

	The Brickade suffers from poor speed on average due to poor acceleration, but can reach slightly above average top speeds after uninterrupted and prolonged acceleration. Its steering also varies; due to its shorter wheelbase, strong torque and rear wheel drive, the van can execute tight turns in low speeds, but this trait is hampered as the vehicle travels ~~in higher speeds~~ and increases its inertia. Similarly, its brakes are reliable when the vehicle travels slower, but requires a moderately longer stopping distance when braking in higher speed (although they still fare better than those of the [[Ripley]]). Regardless, the Brickade's heavy weight allows it to push smaller and lighter vehicles out of the way with ease.

	The Brickade is also considerably hardened to handle selected forms of damage to an extent, to the same degree as the [[Enforcer]], [[Police Stockade]] and [[Securicar]]. The vehicle can absorb large amounts of gunfire, but will eventually succumb to engine damage, especially when it is shot at its weakest point in the front, where the engine is. The Brickade can also survive six direct hits from [[Explosive Shotgun\|explosive shotgun rounds]] (at any part of the vehicle) before its gas tank ignites and results in the vehicle exploding ~~(three times the amount of a regular car)~~.
