The Hoods Rumpo XL is a souped up variant of the Rumpo which can be found in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. In Grand Theft Auto Advance, it is simply referred to as the Hoods.

Description

The Hoods Rumpo XL is driven by the Southside Hoods and, as a result, can only be found in Wichita Gardens, Shoreside Vale. The Hoods Rumpo XL handles neutrally and once it picks up speed, the van can go pretty fast. The acceleration is faster than the normal Rumpo, but strangely it is 10 km/h slower at top speed. It is also all wheel drive and can easily drive up steep hills like the one near the Shoreside Vale safehouse in GTA III.

The Hoods Rumpo XL is primarily distinguishable from a regular Rumpo by its paintjob. In GTA III, the van's body features a total of three color tones (dull green, blue and red), and also features graffiti on both sides, while the GTA Liberty City Stories renditions features only the green and blue of its GTA III rendition, as well as the aforementioned graffiti. In GTA Advance, the Hoods, which is also based on the game's Rumpo, differs with its green body color and grooves on the roof that run from the front to the back, as opposed to the Rumpo's grooves that cut across the van from its sides.

It is noteable that in GTAIII the Hoods Rumpo XL is larger than the standard rumpo in GTAIII, in GTA LCS however thay are the same size.
