The Rumpo is an average-sized van capable of carrying four passengers (two in the front, two in the back). It is common and can be found in most areas in the cities in which it appears, but like all of the vans, it tends to be most common in the industrial areas. In [[GTA III]], the van appears to be based on a first generation [[Wikipedia:Dodge Ram Van|Dodge Ram Van]]. This van is fairly fast, but with average handling and a tendency to two-wheel and tip over under rough cornering. A [[Hoods Rumpo XL|modified version]] of this van is used by the [[Southside Hoods]] gang.

From [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] onwards, the Rumpo is very different and is basically a [[Pony]] with an enlarged roof (see the next section for details). This new van handles much like the smaller Pony, but is slightly slower and quite a bit heavier. Also, because of it's height and stiff suspension it has a nasty tendency to jolt around and even tip on bumpy roads. Despite it's weight it's not particularly good at ramming things, so all of these factors combine to make the Rumpo a vehicle to avoid if you can help it.

===Name confusion===
=== Naming confusion ===
There is some confusion over the differences between the two vans - the [[Pony]] and the '''Rumpo''' - as the vehicles that appear under those names in [[GTA III]] are renamed in [[GTA: Vice City]]. In GTA III: The Rumpo looks almost identical to the van known as the [[Burrito]] in subsequent games, while the Pony is a larger van with an enlarged roof. In GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas, however, the Pony was redesigned with a lower roof, and this (now seperate) tall-roof design was renamed the Rumpo, while the van known as the Rumpo in GTA III was given an entirely new name, [[Burrito]].

===Bumper glitch===
=== Bumper glitch ===
Like from GTA Vice City if the Rumpo is resprayed its bumper will become(some like black)possibly upside down
The GTA Vice City rendition of the Rumpo features a cosmetic glitch in which any Rumpo that enters a [[Pay 'n' Spray]] will emerge with its front bumper facing the opposite direction, towards the rear. The problem can be remedied by simply parking the vehicle in a garage and closings its door, restoring the bumper's alignment. The problem is also present in GTA Vice City's [[Pony]].
