The Bobcat is the trusty pick-up truck that is featured in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto IV. In GTA IV the Bobcat's manufacturer is Vapid.
Overview
The Bobcat is fairly fast, with great torque, and has a two person capacity; however, it takes a long time and a straight and long road to get to full speed. It is four-wheel drive and handles well on rough terrain, and so can be used for mild off-roading, but is inferior to the Patriot in this respect. In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the Bobcat is the primary base for the gang car of the Colombian Cartel, the Cartel Cruiser. In GTA San Andreas, this car can be upgraded at TransFender with wheels, exhausts, etc. The Bobcat runs on a V6 engine and is available in two tone colors, sometimes there will also be Sprunk cans or a spare wheel in the back. The GTA III rendition resembles a Second generation Chevy S10 or Toyota Tacoma, while the Vice City and San Andreas renditions are based on the first generation Ford Ranger. In GTA Vice City Stories, the Bobcat was used as a gang car by the Trailer Park Mafia.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Bobcat is no longer based on a compact pickup truck, it is based on a full-size pickup instead. It resembles a mid '80s' Chevy C truck (the sides aren't very close though) with an extended cab, stepside box, and an insanely powerful 550 CUI (9 litre displacement) V10 engine. Despite having 'super 4 x 4' written on the side, the Bobcat is only a rear wheel drive. After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Bobcat fetching $2,500. There are special Variants of the Bobcat which either have a roll bar with some lights on top in the rear, or ones that have a large bull bar in the front.
