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]] | The Rumpo is an average-sized van capable of carrying four passengers (two in the front, two in the back).

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). | 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). In many games of the GTA III era the Rumpo vans feature different logos depending on which company owns them, suh as [[Final Build Construction]]. | ||
=== Performance === | |||
When originally introduced in GTA IIII, the Rumpo is fairly fast, but with average handling and a tendency to two-wheel and tip over under rough cornering. | |||
The redesigned Rumpo from GTA Vice City onwards 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. | |||
