Rat-Loader

The Bravado Rat-Loader is a two-door muscle pickup truck with room for two. Its faded, rusted body has a bent hood, crooked grille and license plates, missing bumpers, and no tail light cluster. A heap of rubbish fills its ramshackle flat bed, while rusted "Smoothie" wheels carry discoloured off-road tyres. Los Santos Customs can restore or remove many damaged panels and fit a conventional bed, but the worn paint remains. It also carries a CB radio that emits trucker chatter when Trevor drives it in Blaine County.

A modern V8 gives the Rat-Loader reasonable torque, but its weight and narrow tyres make wheelspin common. Acceleration is average among muscle vehicles, whereas top speed trails the class. Braking is poor, and its suspension and steering produce a broad turning circle with heavy understeer. The truck can fishtail under power and responds slowly when accelerating with the handbrake engaged. Its worn construction is fragile, with collisions capable of jamming the wheels after only a few impacts.

In Grand Theft Auto V, the Rat-Loader appears around Sandy Shores, including Algonquin Boulevard, Marina Drive, Mountain View Drive and the area near Trevor's trailer. Modified examples appear outside Beeker's Garage in Paleto Bay and leaving an LTD station in Grapeseed. In Grand Theft Auto Online, Southern San Andreas Super Autos sells it for $6,000, and it rarely appears near Beeker's Garage. It is removed from the website in enhanced versions. During Fooligan Job: Crop Dustin', one can be parked at the weed farm north of HJ Silos Galileo Park in the San Chianski Mountain Range.
