Landstalker: Difference between revisions

=== GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories ===

=== GTA IV — GTA V ===

The Landstalker that appears in the GTA V trailer appears mostly identical to the GTA IV rendition.

The Landstalker was originally introduced with a light weight (1380 kg), a short wheelbase, high ground clearance, full time 4WD, poor grip, stiff suspension, a high center of gravity and unstable weight distribution. As a result, it is highly susceptible to rollovers while simply turning or traversing off-road, if the player does not drive carefully or make use of the handbrake. These attributes made the vehicle vastly inferior as an off-road vehicle when compared to the [[Patriot]], [[Rancher]], [[Sandking]] and [[Huntley]]. Although its handling is poor, the Landstalker has all-round moderate-to-good acceleration and top speed due to its weight.

The [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] rendition is noticeably more stable—its redesigned body features a lowered ground clearance (resulting in a slight redistribution of weight to the bottom) and a longer, heavier body (1880 kg), reducing the likelihood of rollovers.

The GTA IV rendition of the Landstalker is quite heavy, resulting in poor acceleration and a top speed of 135 km/h (84 mph), and compared to other SUVs; braking is also adversely affected by the weight. Like the Cavalcade, ABS is only available on some models. The engine itself sounds as if it is a mid-sized V6, paired to a 4 speed gearbox in a 50% Front, 50% Rear 4WD layout. The suspension is moderately firm, but still far too soft to corner at speed effectively. The body flops about in the turns, often causing the rear end to kick out and fishtail rather than simply overturn as in previous games. On the road, the Landstalker is nowhere near as competent as its closest competitors (the [[Cavalcade]] and [[Huntley Sport]]), but off-road the Landstalker begins to show its usefulness. The engine has enough torque to allow scaling of medium-grade hills, and the suspension evens out most of the natural bumps; unfortunately, the long rear overhang means the Landstalker can beach itself on rocks. Overall, its off-road performance is inferior to that of the Cavalcade, however it fares better than the Huntley Sport.
