The '''Mesa Grande''' is an off-road vehicle that appears in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. The vehicle is simply referred in GTA San Andreas in short as the "'''Mesa'''".

 

Resembling a 1987–1995 [[wp:Jeep Wrangler|Jeep Wrangler]] (as evidenced by its rectangular headlights and signal lights) and differing by its horizontal grille design, the Mesa Grande is evidently a compact SUV with a heightened ground clearance and large wheels to facilitate offroading. The Mesa Grande comes in three variations with regards to the occupants' compartment, including a canvas top, a rollbar or nothing at all. Despite featuring seats for more occupants, the Mesa Grande can only seat two.

While more common in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the Mesa is a rather rare vehicle in GTA San Andreas, as it does not spawn much, and only has prominent appearances in missions and when wanted in the [[Exports and Imports]] side-mission. GTA San Andreas' Mesa, however, can be upgraded at [[TransFender]].

=== Performance ===

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 for use by the military. In GTA San Andreas, Mesa's are featured in "[[Robbing Uncle Sam]]" to be used by the National Guard, 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]].
