 === GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars===
-The GTA IV rendition is similar but has some changes. The Patriot, like its real life counterpart the [[wp:Hummer H2|Hummer H2]] is extremely heavy and as a result cannot go particularly fast with the patriots top speed being 180km/h (110mph). Because of its weight the Patriot's engine sometimes struggles to pull its heavy weight. The patriot also has a very soft suspension and its ground clearence its relatively high too. The patriot's brakes arent that good and caution must be used when the player goes at high speeds. The patriot has a rather wide turning radius and because of its suspension, it has a tendensy of rolling over which also limit's its usefullness to high speed car chases. The Patriot can pretty much plow through any given opstacle, and because of its height can run over small cars or fences. The Engine lid is hinged to the front and wont fly off if an impact disloges it.
+The GTA IV rendition is similar but has some changes. It is ridiculously heavy for an SUV, and as a result cannot go particularly fast, with a top speed of 180km/h (110mph) limiting its usefulness in high speed chases. Its engine seems to struggle to pull the weight, but is not easily stalled by crashes. The Patriot can practically drive over most small objects including cars to fences. The Patriot is also top heavy, and has a propensity to roll over in extreme turns. However, it is extremely durable as a result, able to soak up [[Weapons in GTA IV|bullets]] and crashes and keep going. Its suspension is incredibly soft, causing immense body roll and roll oversteer even on slight turns. The Patriot lacks in the ability to turn well, due to its large turning circle, and as a result has to be slowed down to go round any sort of bend.
-The off-road performance of GTA IV's Patriot is, as expected, excellent, with high ground clearance, good approach and departure angles, and the engine has enough power to pull the car up steep sandy hills without trouble.
+The off-road performance of GTA IV's Patriot is, as expected, excellent, with high ground clearance, good approach and departure angles, and the engine has enough power to pull the car up steep sandy hills without trouble. The Patriot is also very much capable of literally running over smaller vehicles, which makes it an excellent choice when being chased by small police cruisers. Like many heavy duty trucks, its engine lid is hinged to the front, and will not fly off if an impact dislodges it.
-The Patriot is best used for combat, off roading, and crusing. The patriot is good for combat because it has a stong body which is able to withstand loads of bullets, it also has a small cabin which makes shooting out the occupants rather difficult, and its engine doesnt stall easily and at low wanted levels the patriot can plow through small police cars.The enigne is also strong enough to push/tow heavy trucks or cars. Other than that the patriot is great for cruising or to impress a [[Girlfriend]].
+Due to its weight, durability and speed, the Patriot, much like the Patriot in GTA IV, can plough through most traffic quite easily, even flipping smaller cars, SUVs, small trucks, and other Patriots.
+The modified Patriot on the other hand is considerably faster than the civilian Patriot with a top speed of 220km/h (137mph) and feels much lighter. Although there is no change in acceleration between the two, the modified Patriot would be better for quick getaways because of its increase in speed.

+* [[Big Smoke]]'s drug couriers typically drive Patriots which are impervious to gunfire, fire damage and explosions. The player can obtain one before "[[Yay Ka-Boom-Boom]]" by waiting at the vehicle's spawn point in [[Ganton]] on Friday at around 5:00 a.m. with a [[Tow Truck|Towtruck]], and declining the offer to intercept the Patriot's haul.
