"Accessories" do not simply refer to vehicle accessories per se, but include different models and livery that illustrate variety between the same model of vehicles that appear on the road. GTA III was the first game to apply such a feature, randomly assigning a specific "accessories" on a handful of vehicles, including industrial box trucks (the [[Mule]] and [[Yankee]]) (company liveries), the [[Patriot]] (truck bed design), the [[Stallion]] (top), the [[Taxi]] (taxi lights) and the [[Coach]] (bus company liveries). Since then, more vehicles provide such variety, expanding to include truck loads, car spoilers, paneling, extended roofs, continental kits, side bags and customized interiors, among others.

Customized vehicles or gang cars based on existing models are also depicted with additional accessories to distinguish them from their stock counterparts.


Customized vehicles or gang cars based on existing models are also depicted with additional accessories to distinguish them from their stock counterparts.
GTA 2 first explored such variety by way of its gang cars and different vehicles: Gang cars could be converted into normal variants by utilizing a crane to load a gang car onto a [[Towing|Transporter trailer]]. In addition, certain vehicles are essentially modified versions of another, including the [[Taxi Xpress]] (based on the [[B-Type]]), the [[Special Agent Car]] (based on the [[Eddy]]) and the [[TV Van]] (based on the [[Van]]).

== Model badge ==
Due to hardware limitations, model badges on vehicles were only introduced in GTA Vice City, with the game's [[Moonbeam]] and [[Bobcat]], as well as certain watercraft, actually featuring their name on their rear. The feature was still in limited use in GTA San Andreas, with the [[ZR-350]], Bobcat and several boats being the only known models that sport their names on their bodies.
 
By GTA IV, however, nearly all vehicles featured are designed with at least one badge declaring their name, as well as their [[Vehicle Brands|manufacturer]] and variant. Certain figures, such as engine types, however, may not reflect the actual engine that the vehicle has.
