The GTA IV rendition of the Landstalker is quite heavy, and due to that acceleration is poor. Top speed is also affected by this, and compared to other SUVs it is rather slow. The engine itself sounds as if it is a mid-sized V6, paired to a 4 speed gearbox in a 50% Front, 50% Rear 4WD layout. Braking on the Landstalker is also poor, due again to it's heavy weight. ABS is standard across the line. The suspension is moderately firm, but still far too soft to corner at speed effectively. The body flops about in the turns, often causing the rear end to kick out and fishtail. On the road, the Landstalker is nowhere near as competent as it's [[Cavalcade|closest]] [[Huntley Sport|competitors]], but off-road the Landstalker begins to show it's usefulness. The engine is torque-y enough to get you up medium-grade hills and the suspension evens out most of the natural bumps. | The GTA IV rendition of the Landstalker is quite heavy, and due to that acceleration is poor.

Deformation in frontal accidents is acceptable, though rear accidents cause quite a bit of visible damage. The engine itself is sturdy in accidents, allowing the Landstalker to take multiple direct hits at full speed before failing. Overall, this vehicle is better suited for short drives and off-road expeditions than high-speed pursuits. | Deformation in frontal accidents is acceptable, though rear accidents cause quite a bit of visible damage.

Off-road, the Landstalker performs quite well, but not as well as the [[Cavalcade]], however better than the [[Huntley Sport]]. Despite the Landstalker's much lower power output than its [[Cavalcade|closest]] [[Huntley Sport|competitors]], it can still pull itself up steep hills without much fuss, however the long rear overhang means the Landstalker can beach itself on rocks. | |||
