The Brickade is roughly based on the military Navistar and on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RG-12 RG-12 APC] produced by Land Systems OMC. Its a large but stumpy and generic [[wp:Armoured bus|armored bus-like]] van, similar to the [[Securicar]] (which interestingly bears a similar "Stockade" badge), but adopts a cab-over design, a beige bodywork and much smaller wheels. In addition to a thick body shell, the Brickade is also equipped with plating that protects the front radiator grill, as well as steel mesh grating covering the front windscreen and wheel wells (which does not actually protect the Brickade's tires from gunfire). The Brickade is implied to be associated with the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|police]], as it has a [[Police Radio|police radio]] and the ability to pass through [[tollbooths]] without paying. However, unlike most police vehicles, the Brickade can use a [[Pay 'n' Spray]]. Although it bears no badging, police chatter implies the Brickade is manufactured by [[HVY]]. Despite it having two doors in the front and two doors in the back like the Stockades, it can only fit two people in it as the back doors are not programed to open and fit people in the back like the stockades can, they will only open upon heavy impact. This is because the Brickade is a unfinished project which will make it notible for missing a few details.

Given its armored construction and subsequently heavy weight, the Brickade's performance is as expected for a vehicle of its class.
