The Cavalcade FXT in Grand Theft Auto IV.

The Albany Cavalcade FXT is a 4-door pick-up truck version of the Cavalcade SUV, in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Description

The original having been based on the Cadillac Escalade, the FXT is likely a reference to the Escalade EXT, a pickup variant. Naturally, it shares the Albany brand with the Cavalcade. As a pickup, the FXT may come with roll bars, a bed cover, or a plain bed.

Performance

The Cavalcade FXT shares it's high-displacement V8, 5 speed gearbox and AWD system with the Cavalcade SUV, and retains much of the same performance, though it's top speed and acceleration are slightly poorer (despite the two vehicles weighing the same). Handling and braking are consistent with regular Cavalcade and very good, keeping stopping distances short, and maintaining stability in turns. Off road, the same can be said of the FXT as of the Cavalcade, making it one of few vehicles able to climb steep grades and medium sized rocks. Accident deformation is also very good, and the vehicle will sustain multiple frontal impacts before failing.

Upon completion of all 30 of Stevie's Car Thefts, a Cavalcade FXT may be sold at his garage for $5,500, $1,500 less than a Cavalcade.
