The truck has styling very reminiscent of the [http://www.pickuptrucks.com/html/autoshows/naias2003/ford/lightning1.html third generation] [[wikipedia:Ford Lightning|Ford SVT Lightning concept]], most noticeably in the front bumper, grille (in shape, not including the split grille), hood, and back end; the color varieties it appears in are like most modern [[wikipedia:Ford F150|Ford F-150s]] though. It has a Chevy-like, horizontally-split grille and headlights that are similar to the [[wp:Chevrolet Avalanche#2007 - present|2007 Chevrolet Avalanche]]. The Supercharged 5.7L V8 engine, is also similar to the Lightning concept but with a larger displacement V8 (the Lightning had a 5.4L V8). The Contender comes with a variety of bed modifications. | The truck has styling very reminiscent of the [http://www.pickuptrucks.com/html/autoshows/naias2003/ford/lightning1.html third generation] [[wikipedia:Ford Lightning|Ford SVT Lightning concept]], most noticeably in the front bumper, grille (in shape, not including the split grille), hood, and back end; the color varieties it appears in are like most modern [[wikipedia:Ford F150|Ford F-150s]] though.

[[ | A green "Supercharge" Contender is driven by the [[McReary Mob]] that can be found in [[Steinway]]. It has huge chrome bull bars, four vapid lights atop of chrome anti-roll bed bars, and adorns a special green color. Its speed and acceleration has increased a very small amount from the supercharger being added. | ||
A Contender is also requested as part of [[Stevie's Car Thefts]], appearing with a dark grey body color. As a new Contender will respawn at the same spot until the player delivers one to [[S&M Auto Sales]], the player can save one at their safehouse before delivering another. | |||
