For the Grand Theft Auto V version, see Bobcat XL.

The Bobcat is a continually recurring range of two-door pick-up trucks first introduced in Grand Theft Auto III and featured in nearly every game since then, with the only exception being GTA Advance. It is manufactured by Vapid in the HD Universe.

Design

3D Universe

The Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories renditions resembles a 1989-1994 Toyota Pickup Truck with 1995-2005 Tacoma influences, while the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories renditions are based on the first generation Ford Ranger.

They are available in a one tone body color, or two for the GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories renditions. While similar to earlier renditions, the GTA San Andreas, GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories renditions also sport lower ground clearance. The GTA III rendition has a 3D modeling glitch where the passenger's side headlight is rounded, but the other one is longer and rectangular.

Certain Bobcats in GTA San Andreas may feature Sprunk cans or a spare wheel in the back, and the Bobcat can be also upgraded at TransFender, with changeable wheels, exhausts, etc. Along with the GTA Vice City rendition of the Moonbeam, the game's Bobcat is one of the earliest vehicles in the series to features its name printed on its body (on the tailgate). The Bobcat is used as a gang car by the Trailer Park Mafia in GTA Vice City Stories.

Grand Theft Auto IV

In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Bobcat is now a full-size step side pickup truck, rather than a compact. It mostly resembles a slightly altered 1988-1998 Chevrolet C/K with the headlamps similar to the older 1981-1987 model.

Bobcats can be seen with optional grille guards, or a roll bar with or without four lights on top, and on rare occurrences, with both. Bobcats may also, very rarely, come with an additional bed cover. The Bobcat will never be found without boxes in the compartment.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

The Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars Bobcat is similar to the GTA IV one in terms of appearance, with several minor tweaks and a permanent roll bar.

Performance

3D Universe

Pre-GTA IV Bobcats have a V6 engine, with the only exception being the 4-cylinder in San Andreas and Vice City Stories. The Bobcat is fairly slow, but has high torque and strong, stiff suspension. However, the low power and heavy weight means it takes a long time and a straight and clear road for the Bobcat to achieve maximum speed. It is rear-wheel drive and handles well on rough terrain, so it can be used for mild off-roading, but is inferior to the Patriot in this respect. Some versions are four wheel drive. In GTA San Andreas, like the Sadler, the four cylinder engine is mounted transversely, which is impossible to drive the rear wheels without driving the front as well.

In GTA San Andreas the Bobcat together with the Sadler is the third most durable vehicle in the game, as seen in the stats.

Grand Theft Auto IV

The truck has a very powerful 550 Cubic Inch (9.0L) V10 engine, according to the badges. Despite having "SUPER 4X4" written on the side, the Bobcat is purely rear wheel drive, or they may have the 4WD disabled.

In terms of performance, the Bobcat is capable of rapid acceleration and a slow top speed. The vehicle does not turn sharply, but can powerslide around corners with enough use of the emergency brake. Off road, the Bobcat suffers from lack of 4WD, low ground clearance, and extremely poor wheel articulation. Also, the engine is somewhat overpowering, resulting in undesired wheel-spin in soft sand. The truck should not be considered a heavy duty vehicle for off road use. The Bobcat also has a 5-speed manual transmission, as indicated by a third pedal to the left, if looked at closely enough. Damage is average, and because of the roll bar, it will not have much roof damage in rollovers. The Bobcat shares the same engine and horn sound as the Rancher.

Variants

Bobcat XL

Main article: Bobcat XL

The Bobcat XL is a LWB (long wheelbase) variant of the Bobcat appearing in Grand Theft Auto V. While the original Bobcat does not appear in GTA V, the XL version appears as a replacement. It features some minor cosmetic changes, as well as some major differences in the rear quarter and the wheelbase in particular.

Special Variants

In Grand Theft Auto III, the player can acquire a bulletproof, fireproof and explosion-proof Bobcat from "Evidence Dash". This can be achieved by pinning the truck at an obstacle and carjacking it while it remains stationary or slow-moving. (Note: The doors of the Bobcat are locked, even after all six packages are dropped, making carjacking the vehicle impossible) If the player is required to destroy the evidence by destroying the truck, the player can do so by going to a safehouse garage, ramming the truck until it catches fire, park and leave the truck in the garage and wait for it to explode (thereby completing the mission). Once the player reopens the garage door, the truck is fully repaired.

In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the player can acquire a black-and-red Bobcat during "Autocide", when the player is required to kill two targets (Marcus Hammond and Franco Carter) in the parked Bobcat. The easiest way to obtain the truck is by killing the driver using a sniper rifle from afar (which forces the passenger to exit the truck instead of gaining control of the truck himself), gaining access to the truck.

In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, two all-black Bobcats (suspected to be used by the CIA) are featured during the mission "Stowaway". The player can reach the Bobcats, at the cost of missing the departing Andromada and failing the mission.

In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, two uniquely colored Bobcats are featured during "Love and Bullets" (colored black) and "Panlantic Land Grab" (colored white with brown bumpers).

In Grand Theft Auto IV, a Bobcat is requested as part of Stevie's Car Thefts, appearing with a pale brown body. As a new Bobcat will respawn at the same spot until the player delivers one to S&M Auto Sales, the player can save one at their safehouse before delivering another. Just like the Rancher, the Bobcat may spawn with a few accessories.

In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, there is a gang variant driven by the Irish Killers gang. The "gang" Bobcat is distinguished by its green body and red roof.

Trivia

General

The default radio stations for the Bobcat are:
- GTA Vice City + GTA Vice City Stories: V-Rock.
- GTA San Andreas: Radio X.
- GTA IV: San Juan Sounds.
The Bobcat is an American mammal in the cat family.
There was a real vehicle produced by Mercury called the Bobcat.
The name Bobcat may also be a reference to Bobcat EMEA, an excavator manufacturer.

Grand Theft Auto III

During development of GTA III, the Bobcat originally had a roll cage.
At one point during development of GTA III, the Bobcat sometimes came in a gold color.
As seen in the E3 Trailer, the Bobcat had a generic metal texture for the bed, before it was changed to the default body material of the bodywork. The texture still exists.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

A visual glitch is present in the Bobcat. If the player goes to any Transfenders mod shop and choose any exhaust pipe mod option, the custom exhaust pipes will be incorrectly placed inside the rear bumper.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

There is a visual glitch in the game; After visiting a Pay 'n' Spray in a Bobcat, the tailgate will appear open.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

Under the "Chinatown Wars" section of the Rockstar Games Social Club website, members may download a printable paper-craft model of the game's Bobcat. The vehicle's design is more alike that of GTA IV than GTA Chinatown Wars.

Grand Theft Auto IV

If the player attempts to hop on to the rear cargo/freight compartment while the vehicle is still in motion, the player would most likely lose his/her balance and result in a bad fall on to the ground. However if the player happens to be stuck in the cargo/freight compartment, his/her health will get gradually reduced and eventually become wasted.
The Bobcat is used twice as a getaway vehicle in Hostile Negotiation and The Snow Storm, chronologically.

-The Bobcat is fairly slow at 135 mph, but has high torque and strong, stiff suspension. However, the low power and heavy weight means it takes a long time and a straight and clear road for the Bobcat to achieve maximum speed. It is rear-wheel drive and handles well on rough terrain, so it can be used for mild off-roading, but is inferior to the [[Patriot]] in this respect. Some versions are four wheel drive. In GTA San Andreas, like the [[Sadler]], the four cylinder engine is mounted transversely, which is impossible to drive the rear wheels without driving the front as well.

 ==Variants==
+====Bobcat XL====
-The regular Bobcat is available with various unique qualities in some of the games it appears in:
+{{Main|Bobcat XL}}
-*In GTA III, the player can acquire a bulletproof, fireproof and explosion-proof Bobcat from "[[Evidence Dash]]". This can be achieved by pinning the truck at an obstacle and carjacking it while it remains stationary or slow-moving. (Note: The doors of the Bobcat are locked, even after all six packages are dropped, making carjacking the vehicle impossible) If the player is required to destroy the evidence by destroying the truck, the player can do so by going to a safehouse garage, ramming the truck until it catches fire, park and leave the truck in the garage and wait for it to explode (thereby completing the mission). Once the player reopens the garage door, the truck is fully repaired.
+The '''Bobcat XL''' is a LWB (long wheelbase) variant of the Bobcat appearing in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]''. While the original Bobcat does not appear in GTA V, the XL version appears as a replacement. It features some minor cosmetic changes, as well as some major differences in the rear quarter and the wheelbase in particular.
-*In GTA Vice City, the player can acquire a black-and-red Bobcat during "[[Autocide]]", when the player is required to kill two targets ([[Marcus Hammond]] and [[Franco Carter]]) in the parked Bobcat. The easiest way to obtain the truck is by killing the driver using a sniper rifle from afar (which forces the passenger to exit the truck instead of gaining control of the truck himself), gaining access to the truck.
-*In GTA San Andreas, two all-black Bobcats (suspected to be used by the [[CIA]]) are featured during "[[Stowaway]]". The player can reach the Bobcats, at the cost of missing the departing [[Andromada]] and failing the mission.
-*In GTA Liberty City Stories, two uniquely colored Bobcats are featured during "[[Love and Bullets]]" (colored black) and "[[Panlantic Land Grab]]" (colored white with brown bumpers).
-*In GTA Vice City Stories, fireproof Bobcats are featured during "[[Shakedown (GTA VCS)|Shakedown]]" and "[[D.I.V.O.R.C.E.]]".
-*In GTA IV, a Bobcat is requested as part of [[Stevie's Car Thefts]], appearing with a pale brown body. As a new Bobcat will respawn at the same spot until the player delivers one to [[S&M Auto Sales]], the player can save one at their safehouse before delivering another. Just like the [[Rancher]], the Bobcat may spawn with a few accessories.
+<gallery position="center">
-In addition, there exists a gang variant of the Bobcat in GTA Chinatown Wars driven by the [[Irish-American Killers|Irish Killers]] gang. The "gang" Bobcat is distinguished by its green body and red roof.
