Mesa Grande: Difference between revisions

The '''Mesa Grande''' is an off-road vehicle that appears in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]and in the [[GTA V]] trailer. The vehicle is simply referred in GTA San Andreas in short as the '''Mesa'''.

Resembling a 1987–1995 [[wp:Jeep_Wrangler#YJ (1987–1995)|Jeep Wrangler YJ]] (as evidenced by its rectangular headlights and signal lights) and differing by its horizontal slitted grille design, the Mesa Grande is evidently a compact SUV with a heightened ground clearance and large wheels to facilitate offloading. The Mesa Grande comes in three variations with regards to the occupants' compartment, including a canvas top, a rollbar or nothing at all. The San Andreas Mesa is either open top or hardtop (tan or brown) only. Both versions are always equipped with one piece solid doors with glass (no half or canvas versions). The Mesa Grande/Mesa can only seat two though the one in the [[GTA V]] trailer seems to be a four door and appears to be a [[wp:Jeep Wrangler|2007 Jeep Wrangler Recon]].

While more common in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the Mesa is a somewhat rare vehicle in GTA San Andreas, as it only seems to spawn under certain conditions, and only has prominent appearances in missions and when wanted in the [[Exports and Imports]] side-mission. GTA San Andreas' Mesa, however, can be upgraded at [[TransFender]] (though roof color must be achieved at a [[Pay 'n' Spray]] first).The doors of the Mesa Grande can be removed using any melee weapon, creating a more realistic convertible version.
