The '''Pony''' is a goods van which made its first appearance in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], and has recurred in six following games.


The '''Pony''' is a goods van that made its first appearance in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and went on to feature in all of the following games of the [[GTA III Era]] (except [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]]), and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]].

====GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories====
Between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories, the Pony is depicted as a generic, medium sized van that has appeared in two different forms, both of which do not apparently draw inspiration from any van. For GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the Pony features a modern appearance with a high roof (compared to the [[Rumpo]]'s lower roof), while the GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories renditions are directed in an older form with a conventionally low roof. In all its incarnations, the Pony is capable of carrying four passengers (two in the front, two in the back), and can be found driving around the industrial areas of the cities. The Pony resembles a 1983-1991 [[wp: Ford_E_Series#third_generation|Ford E-Series]].

The Pony is a medium sized van capable of carrying four passengers (two in the front, two in the back). The vehicle has reasonable speed for what it is, but it's handling suffers from it's very stiff suspension setup which makes the vehicle unstable on bumpy roads. It can be found driving around the industrial areas of the cities in which it appears. Special modified versions of the Pony also appear in some games, for instance, in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories there is the [[Panlantic]] and the [[TOYZ]]. Another variant, the [[Top Fun]], is featured in GTA Vice City. The GTA San Andreas rendition, on the other hand, has constantly featured a speaker system and turntables in its cargo compartment, which purpose is only revealed during "[[Life's a Beach]]", when a Pony is used as a sound system for a beach party; the mission's particular Pony also sports off-road tires, a unique trait, considering the Pony cannot be modified at [[TransFender]]. Despite the pony having it's music system it is still able to carry four people.

====GTA IV — GTA V ====
In GTA IV, the Pony is manufactured by [[Brute]]. The front resembles a 1992-1996 GMC Vandura, and the sides and back resemble a 1986-1993 Dodge Ram Van; that said, it has taller taillights than the Ram Van, and its side-mirrors look closer to more modern vans like the 1996–present Chevy Express/GMC Savana. The GTA IV Pony looks similar to the [[Burrito]], a [[Declasse]] van.
 
The GTA IV Pony can rarely be spotted, however it does spawn parked in at least two locations (see [[#Locations|Locations]]). It comes with various different company names including; [[Sum Yung Gai|Sum Yung Gai Chinese Restaurant]], U-Benders Plumbing Services, [[Pizza This]] and [[Mr. Wong's Laundrette]]. However, regardless of company name, the rear is either filled with various tools and toolboxes or being simply empty.

=== Naming confusion ===
=== Performance ===
There is some confusion over the differences between the two vans - the Pony and the [[Rumpo]] - as the vehicles that appear under those names in GTA III are renamed in GTA Vice City. In GTA III, the Rumpo looks almost identical to the van known as the Burrito in subsequent games, while the GTA III Pony is a larger van with an enlarged roof. In GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, however, the Pony was redesigned with a lower roof, and this (now separate) tall-roof design was renamed the Rumpo, while the van known as the Rumpo in GTA III was given an entirely new name, [[Burrito]].
Overall, the Pony has a reasonable speed for a van, but its handling suffers from the very stiff suspension setup, making the vehicle unstable on bumpy roads. In GTA IV, its top speed is 120 km/h (74 mph).


=== Bumper glitch ===
== Variants ==
The GTA Vice City rendition of the Pony features a cosmetic glitch in which any Pony that enters a [[Pay 'n' Spray]] will emerge with its front bumper facing the opposite direction, towards the rear. The problem can be remedied by simply parking the vehicle in a garage and closings its door, restoring the bumper's alignment. The problem is also present on GTA Vice City's Rumpo.
In its earlier form, the Pony has been repeatedly adapted into different vans featuring unique modifications, including:
 
* The [[Panlantic]] and the [[TOYZ]] (GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories)
* The [[Top Fun]] (GTA Vice City)
* The [[Berkley Van]] (GTA San Andreas)
* The [[Ballot Van]] (GTA Liberty City Stories)
 
Pony's with unique modification also exist. Pony's with unique black body colors can be found during "[[Loose Ends]]". During the GTA San Andreas mission "[[Life's a Beach]]", there is a also unique teal Pony with a large stereo system and off-road wheels (presumably to allow it to traverse the sandy beach); it is a one-of-a-kind vehicle as Ponys cannot be modified at [[TransFender]]. It can be obtained by driving it into a player-owned garage instead of the designated lockup and then blowing it up, failing the mission. The garage will restore it back to full condition then.

In GTA III, the Rumpo is designed after the Dodge Ram Van, and the Pony is a larger van with a heightened roof.  In GTA Vice City, however, the Pony has a new design with a conventional roof, and the original "heightened roof" Pony design is inherited by the Rumpo (GTA San Andreas retained this change). Vans inspired by the Dodge Ram would continue to appear in the GTA III era, under the name "[[Burrito]]".

GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories

Between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories, the Pony is depicted as a generic, medium sized van that has appeared in two different forms, both of which do not apparently draw inspiration from any van. For GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the Pony features a modern appearance with a high roof (compared to the Rumpo's lower roof), while the GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories renditions are directed in an older form with a conventionally low roof. In all its incarnations, the Pony is capable of carrying four passengers (two in the front, two in the back), and can be found driving around the industrial areas of the cities. The Pony resembles a 1983-1991 Ford E-Series.

Regular Ponys in GTA San Andreas may occasionally appear with stereo systems in their cargo holds. One such Pony is seen during the mission "Life's a Beach", where it is used by a DJ for a beach party (see Variants for more details).

GTA IV — GTA V

In GTA IV, the Pony is manufactured by Brute. The front resembles a 1992-1996 GMC Vandura, and the sides and back resemble a 1986-1993 Dodge Ram Van; that said, it has taller taillights than the Ram Van, and its side-mirrors look closer to more modern vans like the 1996–present Chevy Express/GMC Savana. The GTA IV Pony looks similar to the Burrito, a Declasse van.

The GTA IV Pony can rarely be spotted, however it does spawn parked in at least two locations (see Locations). It comes with various different company names including; Sum Yung Gai Chinese Restaurant, U-Benders Plumbing Services, Pizza This and Mr. Wong's Laundrette. However, regardless of company name, the rear is either filled with various tools and toolboxes or being simply empty.

The Pony in GTA V looks identical to GTA IV.

Performance

Overall, the Pony has a reasonable speed for a van, but its handling suffers from the very stiff suspension setup, making the vehicle unstable on bumpy roads. In GTA IV, its top speed is 120 km/h (74 mph).

Variants

In its earlier form, the Pony has been repeatedly adapted into different vans featuring unique modifications, including:

Pony's with unique modification also exist. Pony's with unique black body colors can be found during "Loose Ends". During the GTA San Andreas mission "Life's a Beach", there is a also unique teal Pony with a large stereo system and off-road wheels (presumably to allow it to traverse the sandy beach); it is a one-of-a-kind vehicle as Ponys cannot be modified at TransFender. It can be obtained by driving it into a player-owned garage instead of the designated lockup and then blowing it up, failing the mission. The garage will restore it back to full condition then.

Naming confusion

A comparison between the Rumpo (white), Pony (red) and Burrito (gray) in GTA Vice City (Rear quarter view).

There is some confusion over the differences between the Pony and the Rumpo, due to changes in their designs between GTA III and GTA Vice City.

In GTA III, the Rumpo is designed after the Dodge Ram Van, and the Pony is a larger van with a heightened roof. In GTA Vice City, however, the Pony has a new design with a conventional roof, and the original "heightened roof" Pony design is inherited by the Rumpo (GTA San Andreas retained this change). Vans inspired by the Dodge Ram would continue to appear in the GTA III era, under the name "Burrito".

Trivia

  • A cosmetic glitch in GTA Vice City causes any Pony which enters a Pay 'n' Spray to emerge with its front bumper facing the opposite direction, towards the rear. Simply parking the vehicle in a garage and allowing the garage door to close will restore the bumper's alignment. This problem is also present in GTA Vice City's Rumpo.
  • The Pony plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
  • In perfect condition this van can be sold in the S&M Auto Sales for $1,800
