The '''Sandking''' is, in short, a modified [[Rancher]]. (except it doesn't have windows at the back)

It is pretty much the best all purpose ground vehicle in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series. The Sandking made its introductory appearance in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA: Vice City]], being an unlockable vehicle if the player managed to deliver a list of wanted cars to [[Sunshine Autos]]. This would spawn one at the second level of the building, which could be maneuvered out. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA: San Andreas]] the Sandking makes another appearance, this time being more easily obtainable, and more user-friendly, it can be found on several beaches throughout the state as well as in "[[The Big Ear]]". It appears to be based on a first generation Ford Bronco II. In its third appearance in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories|GTA: Vice City Stories]], the Sandking is always parked in a long row of parking space by [[Ocean Drive]].


===Handling & Other===
The '''Sandking''' is a high-performance, off road truck, essentially similar to a modified [[Rancher]] without rear quarter windows. Introduced in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], the Sandking has made repeated appearances in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]].
The Sandking has excellent handling, due to its escalated suspension system, (it is sometimes available with [[Hydraulics]], which are almost as good as a lowrider) and super gripping tires. The car also has a high speed level, while staying easily controllable. In San Andreas, its engine sound dramatically changes. It boasts the player's sex appeal to about a 75% level, making this car a great choice for off-roading, street racing, mountain climbing, cruising, launching off ramps and picking up girls.
