The '''Securicar''' is an armored truck first introduced in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], serving as the successor to the [[G4 Bank Van]] from [[Grand Theft Auto 2]]. | The '''Securicar''' is an armored truck first introduced in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], serving as the successor to the [[G4 Bank Van]] from [[Grand Theft Auto 2]]. | ||

The Securicar is an armored truck, used to transport money, and in some missions, people. Unlike in real life, the trucks are not bulletproof, nor do the driver(s) generally carry guns. The exception to this is GTA San Andreas, where drivers wear security uniforms, and have holstered [[Pistol]]s; they still, however, behave like ordinary civilians, and do not fire at the player if car-jacked. | The Securicar is an armored truck, used to transport money, and in some missions, people.

The Securicar was initially designed with a heavy, robust truck-based body that is painted an overall dark blue. This design stuck for GTA Vice City, GTA Liberty City Stories, and GTA Vice City Stories, but in GTA San Andreas, it featured a radically different, somewhat smaller design, more reminiscent of real armored vans, like a 1990s model [[wp:Chevrolet Kodiak|GMC TopKick]]. The GTA San Andreas Securicar may bear the markings of [[Chuff Security Co.|Chuff Security]] (a lewd parody of real-life firm Chubb Security) or [[Lock and Load Security]], or be unmarked. | The Securicar was initially designed with a heavy, robust truck-based body that is painted an overall dark blue.

The Securicar can be found (albeit rarely) driving around the streets in all the games, however it is particularly rare in GTA Vice City. A Securicar spawns in front of a bank in [[Little Havana]], it is extremely rare that one will find it unlocked. They are usually found driving around at the Docks. | The Securicar can be found (albeit rarely) driving around the streets in all the games, however it is particularly rare in GTA Vice City.

In GTA IV, the Securicar, manufactured by [[Brute]], is a larger vehicle with a realistic design, similar in shape to the GTA San Andreas rendition. The truck chassis is based on an armored [[WP:Navistar International|1989-2001 International 4000 Series]], but the front turning signals have been omitted. The cargo area has a similarly shaped roof to the GTA San Andreas rendition. The Securicar shares its basic chassis with the [[NOOSE]] [[Enforcer]] and [[Police Stockade]], the latter of which may be the "original". | In GTA IV, the Securicar, manufactured by [[Brute]], is a larger vehicle with a realistic design, similar in shape to the GTA San Andreas rendition.
