A Contender

The Contender is a modern pickup truck in Grand Theft Auto IV and is manufactured by Vapid. The Contender is based off the eleventh generation 2004-2008 Ford F-150 extended cab. The grille and headlights are inspired by the 2007 Chevy Avalanche. The truck has a Supercharged 5.7L V8 engine, which, strangely, is more characteristic of a Dodge Ram than an F-150 or an Avalanche. Despite having a Supercharged engine, it's acceleration and top speed are unimpressive, and can be equally matched by the Bobcat but the top speed is higher. The Contender comes with a variety of bed modifications, including one that makes it look more like a Chevy Avalanche. There is a rare 'rally' version of the Contender that comes with a grille guard, a roll bar and roof lights. In GTA IV, after collecting all thirty cars for Stevie he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Contender fetching $2,500. Also in the extreme north of Dukes mainly Dukes Drive you will on occasion see a unique Green Contender with Huge silver bull bars and on top you'll see four vapid Lights on top too. This SUV has the Contender Supercharged logo on the rear of this vehicle.
