The Pony, as depicted in GTA III.

The Pony is a goods van that made its first appearance in Grand Theft Auto III and went on to feature in all of the following games of the GTA III Era (except Grand Theft Auto Advance), and Grand Theft Auto IV.

Overview

The Pony is a medium sized van capable of carrying four passengers (two in the front, two in the back). The vehicle has reasonable speed for what it is, but it's handling suffers from it's very stiff suspension setup which makes the vehicle unstable on bumpy roads. It can be found driving around the industrial areas of the cities in which it appears. Special modified versions of the Pony also appear in some games, for instance, in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories there is the Panlantic and the TOYZ. Another variant, the Top Fun, is featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

The GTA IV version manufactured by Brute. It looks similar to the Burrito, except with single head-lights, different grille, different roof rails and different tail lights. It has different company signs painted on it's sides. The GTA IV Pony can rarely be spotted, but sometimes it can be found parked near Dukes.

Name confusion

There is some confusion over the differences between the two vans - the Pony and the Rumpo - as the vehicles that appear under those names in GTA III are renamed in GTA Vice City. In GTA III the Rumpo looks almost identical to the van known as the Burrito in subsequent games, while the GTA III Pony is a larger van with an enlarged roof. In GTA Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, however, the Pony was redesigned with a lower roof, and this (now seperate) tall-roof design was renamed the Rumpo, while the van known as the Rumpo in GTA III was given an entirely new name, Burrito.
