Unlike the ''GTA III'' rendition, rollovers and tailspins are less prone to occur in cornering, making it one of the best drifting cars in the game. It is also capable to ram other cars more easily, due to its aforementioned weight. The vehicle is exceptionally durable compared to the ''GTA III'' version. It is also one of the most durable cars in ''GTA Liberty City Stories'', being able to withstand more damage than other SUV/trucks. |

While possessing poor acceleration, it's handling is reasonable, but it's top speed is moderate. |

For other vehicles with the "Cruiser" name, see Cruiser (disambiguation)
The Cartel Cruiser is the gang vehicle of the Colombian Cartel featured in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
Design
3D Universe
The Cartel Cruiser resembles a 1979–1991 Chevrolet Suburban, but is designed as a four-door pickup truck, making it similar to a late-1980s Ford F-150 (in reality, the 1979-1991 Chevrolet Suburban is only offered in SUV form; the pickup truck form is known as the Chevrolet C/K). The Cruiser also features a roll bar in the back, side runners, a blue paint job, and fog lights on the grill. In GTA III, the reverse lights are mounted on the rear bumper; however, they are integrated into the tail light clusters in GTA Liberty City Stories; rear fog lights take the place of the reverse lights on the bumper instead in this game.
Similarly to the Forelli Exsess, Sindacco Argento and Yardie Lobo, it does not have a civilian variant, but its closest civilian counterpart, however, is the Bobcat. It is one of the only two four-door pickup trucks in the 3D Universe.
At one point of game development of GTA III, the Cartel Cruiser was known as the Columbia, which is possibly a reference to the name of the Colombian Cartel. The old name is still evidently used in a showcase of the truck on the official Rockstar North website. In the beta, the car was also black. [citation/verification needed]
