The '''Patriot''' is an off-road vehicle in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]. | The '''Patriot''' is an off-road vehicle in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]. | ||

The Patriot is evidently based on the AM General [[wp:HMMWV|HMMWV]] (GTA VC, GTA SA, GTA VCS), [[wp:Hummer H1|Hummer H1]] (GTA III, GTA LCS) and [[wp:Hummer H2|Hummer H2]] (GTA IV). | The Patriot is evidently based on the AM General [[wp:HMMWV|HMMWV]] (GTA VC, GTA SA, GTA VCS), [[wp:Hummer H1|Hummer H1]] (GTA III, GTA LCS) and [[wp:Hummer H2|Hummer H2]] (GTA IV). | ||

In GTA III and Liberty City Stories, it is a popular civilian SUV often found in [[Portland]]. However, in Vice City, San Andreas and Vice City Stories, the vehicle is reserved for military use, relative to the adoption of the HMMWV at the time and the civilian Hummer having yet to gain the popularity that it would in later years. Nevertheless, these renditions of the Patriot come with four different bed configurations. | In GTA III and Liberty City Stories, it is a popular civilian SUV often found in [[Portland]].

In GTA IV, the Patriot, adopting the [[Mammoth]] brand, is based on the GMT800 2003-present Hummer H2 (with a few things rearranged; different taillights, grille design, etc.) and is driven by civilians. It should be noted that the grille design is similar to that of a 1987-1990 Dodge Caravan. Some Patriots can be seen with an American flag vinyl on the side, while a variant seen with a black body color, roof lights, a bull bar and elongated side exhaust pipes are commonly found where [[M.O.B.]] and [[North Holland Hustlers]] gang members are based in ([[Firefly Projects]] and [[North Holland]]). A modified and improved police version, the [[NOOSE Patriot]], is also used by the [[LCPD]]'s [[NOOSE]] division. | In GTA IV, the Patriot, adopting the [[Mammoth]] brand, is based on the GMT800 2003-present Hummer H2 (with a few things rearranged; different taillights, grille design, etc.) and is driven by civilians.

The engine from the Patriot strongly sounds like a Ford Mustang GT from the ''Need for Speed'' games. | ||

The GTA III era Patriot has medium top speed, due to its heavy weight. It is very durable, and has outstanding off-road capabilities, mainly because of high ground clearance, unusual width, and suspension. It can climb very steep gradients due to its low gear boost, and does not roll, due to the low center of gravity. Because it has a low gear boost, its engine sounds big, and it is average speed for a large, heavy SUV, it wouldn't be a bad idea to assume that the Patriot has a turbocharged V8. | The GTA III era Patriot has medium top speed, due to its heavy weight.

The GTA IV rendition is similar but has some changes and it is manufactured by [[Mammoth]]. It is ridiculously heavy for an SUV, and as a result cannot go particularly fast, 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 is also top heavy, and has a propensity to roll over in extremely turns. However, it is extremely durable as a result, able to soak up bullets and crashes and keep going. Its suspension is incredibly soft, causing immense body roll and roll oversteer even on slight turns.

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 literary running over smaller vehicles. Like many heavy duty trucks, its engine lid is hinged to the front, and will not fly off if an impact dislodges it. | |||
The NOOSE Patriot retains the same performance as a regular Patriot, but much faster and better handling. Its power is enough to tip over most vehicles, even an Ambulance, with ease when the vehicle is rammed in the side. | |||
