It is ridiculously heavy for an SUV, and as a result cannot go particularly fast, with a top speed of 135 km/h (84 mph) 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 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 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.

Due to its weight, durability and speed, the Patriot can plough through most traffic quite easily, even flipping smaller cars, SUVs, small trucks, and other Patriots. | Due to its weight, durability and speed, the Patriot can plough through most traffic quite easily, even flipping smaller cars, SUVs, small trucks, and other Patriots. | ||
