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''' is a high-performance, off road truck, essentially similar to a modified [[Rancher]] without rear quarter windows.

The Sandking is pretty much the best all purpose ground vehicle in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series. It has the words [[Sand Masters Cup]] written on the side. The Sandking made its introductory appearance in GTA Vice City and is also 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. It appears to be based on a first generation Ford Bronco II | === Design === | ||

In all of its appearances, the Sandking is depicted with a myriad of modifications commonly associated with high performance off-road vehicles (such as the [[Dune]] and [[Bandito]]). In addition to its racing liveries, the Sandking boasts large offroad wheels, a large spoiler, and several air scoops on the hood lid and roof. | In all of its appearances, the Sandking is depicted with a myriad of modifications commonly associated with high performance off-road vehicles (such as the [[Dune]] and [[Bandito]]).

The Sandking has excellent handling, due to its elevated suspension system, and super gripping [[MMT]] tires. The vehicle is capable of high speeds, while staying easily controllable. In GTA San Andreas, it is sometimes available with hydraulics common in lowriders. | The Sandking has excellent handling, due to its elevated suspension system, and super gripping [[MMT]] tires.

=== Miscellaneous === | |||
In GTA San Andreas, the Sandking 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. | |||
The GTA San Andreas rendition of the Sandking also varies visually between platforms. The PC version, in particular, is of interesting note. The vehicle, like a handful of other vehicles as a result of programming error, lacks gleans on the body and and features white squares in place of white sponsorship stickers on the hood, behind the doors and on the tailgate. | |||
