Bobcat

File:GTA 3 Bobcat.jpg

A Bobcat in GTA III.

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 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: VCS, 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.
