For the law enforcement division, see San Andreas Park Ranger.
The Declasse Park Ranger is a law enforcement vehicle, making its debut appearance in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It is a modified version of the Granger.
The vehicle is used exclusively by the San Andreas Park Ranger, as implied by its name.
Design
The front fascia strongly resembles that of a mix of Third Generation Ford Expedition and GMT900 Chevrolet Tahoe Police Package.
The front of this SUV features a large push bar and most distinctly a plastic front bumper finished in black. The front features a large main grille which has chrome edges and a horizontal strip whose line continues through the headlight units. The bonnet/ hood features a raised area which has edges that follow the grille. Beneath the grille is chrome area central to the bumper.
The SUV features a long wheelbase. There are steps on the sides for passengers to place their feet on. The body is always white with horizontal green strips. The wing mirrors have flashing lights fitted to them and the A-pillars also feature spotlights. The roof features an LED light bar, mounted on the roof above the front row of seats and also features LED lights on the grill. The roof also features the same longitudinal roof rails, allowing officers to hold onto the car and fire a one-handed weapon simultaneously. The SUV features black wheels wrapped in high profile tires. At the rear, another distinct plastic bumper is visible, also finished in black.
The decal design seems to be modeled slightly off of the United States Park Ranger vehicles.
Performance
The Park Ranger shares its exact performance with the civilian Granger, having a high ground clearance and good off-road capability. The Park Ranger is more durable, however, since it serves as a law enforcement vehicle.

Trivia
- It is also seen that people can sit in the back of the trunk the vehicle in The Civil Border Patrol and An American Welcome.
- The Park Ranger vehicle in GTA V looks very similar to the Los Angeles' Park Ranger vehicle, with the exception of it does not have a green line across the vehicle.
- Upon entering this vehicle, you will obtain a Carbine Rifle.
- Upon entering, the HUD doesn't display that the car is made by Declasse; it simply says "Park Ranger, Emergency". Although it still has the Declasse brand in the front of the vehicle.
- Before Patch 1.12, the Park Ranger was classed as a SUV. But, after the patch was released it has been properly recategorized as a Emergency vehicle. It could have been used in a race, and even possible to apply a paintjob instead of the Park Ranger livery.
- Sometimes, when switching to Trevor, he may be chased by 2 Sheriff Cruisers and a Park Ranger.
- In the aforementioned switching sequence, if the player stops and fight the cops, the Park Rangers will fight him with fists, as they don't have any weapon.
- In one of the early screenshots of the game, NOOSE officers can be seen driving it. It could be that in the beta, the Park Ranger was used as a placeholder before the Sheriff SUV came in.
- There are 4 unused lights at the front windshield. The same happens on the Sheriff SUV.
- These have been removed for the enhanced version of GTA V.
