;GTA San Andreas
The Mesa Grande's performance is similar to that of the [[Blista Compact]]; due to its light weight and short wheelbase, the Mesa Grande is significantly nimble and possesses above average pickup and torque than speed. However, as a compact SUV, the Mesa Grande only has a moderate top speed. Its light weight and stiff suspension may also result in frequent rollovers on uneven terrain or in accidents.

The Mesa Grande has been adopted by the military in GTA for non-combat roles, emulating the use of the similarly designed [[:wp:Willys MB|Willys MB]], [[:wp:Willys M38|Willys M38]], or [[:wp:M151 MUTT|M151 MUTT]] by the US Army prior to the extensive deployment of [[:wp:Humvee|HMMWV]]'s (the actual design of the Mesa Grande is not based on any military jeep).

In GTA San Andreas, Mesas are featured in "[[Robbing Uncle Sam]]", having been used by the National Guard (sometimes with a green roof), while a military variant of the Mesa Grande in GTA Vice City Stories, painted in military green, is available in the [[Fort Baxter Air Base]]. Both variants are still referred to by their respectable original names, Mesa and Mesa Grande.
