The '''Cartel Cruiser''' (''also known as the '''Cartel''''') is a four-wheel-drive crew cab pickup truck. It is used exclusively by the [[Colombian Cartel]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. | |||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
In general, the Cartel Cruiser is a 4-door pickup truck, similar to a Chevrolet Avalanche or Cadillac Escalade EXT, but featuring frontal stylings of a generic 1990s Ford pickup truck. The Cruiser also features a roll bar in the back, side runners, a blue paintjob, and spotlights on the grill. | |||
The Cartel Cruiser's engine is powerful enough to send its all wheel drive system into slides, which is unusual for the GTA III engine. The Cruiser is turbocharged, but suffers from turbo lag, where the car has poor acceleration from a standing start, until the turbo cuts in. This can be heard, when the engine noise becomes louder and more aggressive. At higher revs, it can defeat a [[Patriot]] (a similar vehicle) in a straight line drag race. However, its high center of gravity causes the body to roll in corners. | |||
In GTA Liberty City Stories, the Cartel Cruiser isn't as speedy as it was in GTA III, with the engine sounds more like a truck's and more heavier than the one on GTA III, but maintains much of its precessor's design and accesories, with a noticable change in the grill mounted spotlights (from white to red). While possessing poor acceleration, it's handling is pretty reasonable too, but it's top speed is moderate. | |||
