The '''Rancher''' is an 4×4 off-road vehicle that appears in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'', ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]''. It is manufactured by [[Declasse]] in the [[HD Universe]].

  +
Both renditions of the Rancher resemble a {{WP|Chevrolet K5 Blazer|1973–1991 Chevrolet K5 Blazer}}, particularly the 1979 and 1981–1988 models. It is stylised as a medium-sized SUV designed with off-road capabilities in mind, featuring large tires, soft suspensions and a high ground clearance. Despite its size, the two-door Rancher is only capable of holding two occupants, as its rear compartment is not capable of carrying passengers, similar to two-door pickup trucks in the series.
   
  +
Both renditions follows a two-tone color scheme, where the primary color covers the majority of the vehicle, such as the hood, roof, some parts of the side profiling, and the rear bed. The secondary color poses as a stripe-like print on the sides and rear of the vehicle. The ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'' rendition always have the lower section in a black color, resulting in three different colors on a single car. This was changed in the ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' rendition, so the lower section will have the same color as the upper section of the vehicle. Both cars only differs in minor details, such as the headlights, tail lights, rear end and wheels.
−
The [[Declasse]] '''Rancher''' is an SUV/pickup truck that appears in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'', ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'', and ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]''. Unlike most vehicles from GTA Vice City, the Rancher is cut from ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]'' for unknown reasons.
  
   
  +
Despite being absent from ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]'', the SUV has its [[Gang Rancher|gang version]], which shares most of the characteristics, but its details are very different.

[[File:Rancher badges.png|thumb]]
  
−
The Rancher is a medium-sized SUV designed with off-road capabilities in mind, featuring large tires, soft suspensions and a high ground clearance. Despite its size, the two-door Rancher is only capable of holding two occupants, as it rear compartment is not capable of carrying passengers, similar to two-door pickup trucks in the series. In general, the Rancher resembles a [[wp:Chevrolet K5 Blazer|1981-1988 Chevrolet K5 Blazer]] (but with added turning signals and different taillights). The [[GTA IV]] rendition, however, resembles a [[wp:Chevrolet K5 Blazer#1973-1991|Cheyenne Trim 1989-1991 K5 Blazer]]; the taillights and the slight lean of the rear of the cab resemble [[wp:Ford Bronco|1980-1996 Ford Broncos]]. The overall body design resembles that of the 2-door version of the [[wp:Jeep Cherokee (XJ)|Jeep Cherokee XJ]].
  
   
  +
===''Grand Theft Auto IV''===
−
Until GTA IV, the Rancher is depicted with a camper shell permanently included over its bed. The GTA IV rendition, however, features variants of the Rancher with or without a camper shell. Pickup variants of the Rancher may also include a roll bar with top-mounted offroad lights, a brush guard, or a bull bar. All variants of GTA IV's Rancher also feature nerf bars. The rear bed-lids of pre-GTA IV Ranchers are hinged to the top, while those of the GTA IV rendition are hinged at the bottom on the truck bed, with an additional glass lid hinged to the top for the camper shell variant.
  
  +
The Rancher returns to ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'' with a highly similar design, only now higher quality and slight cosmetic adjustments.
   
  +
This rendition appears to be based on the {{WP|Chevrolet K5 Blazer#1973-1991|Cheyenne Trim 1989–1991 K5 Blazer}}, while the slight lean of the rear of the cab resemble the {{WP|Ford Bronco|1980-1996 Ford Bronco}}. The headlights and tail lights seem to draw from the {{WP|Dodge Ramcharger|1981–1993 Dodge Ramcharger}}.

Again, the vehicle follows the same two-tone color scheme, in the same manner as the ''GTA San Andreas'' rendition. In the frontal area, basic square headlights with small slit-indicator lights are found at the very edge of the grille-area. The grille is a basic rectangle with 6 splitters, finished in chrome. A basic singular bumper is found, with the front registration plate placed in the center, housed in a black frame. On the hood, a groove can be seen spanning the entire depth of the hood, curving off at the end. The entire hood is slightly raised near the edges. A simple flat front windscreen is found with also-simple rectangular side mirrors attached to the front doors with thin rods. The side windows are lined with a white outline, not present on the front windshield.
−
=== Performance ===
  
−
In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], the Rancher is one of the better SUVs in the game. Performance is only average, but its chassis is better. Its handling is above average with a very low speed of 154 km/h (96& mph). The suspension is soft, which makes the car quite comfortable, even on broken surfaces such as railroad tracks.
  
   
  +
On the side, the most distinctive feature is the piped side steps found on either side of the vehicle. They attach to the underside of the vehicle. The Declasse logo is printed just behind the front fenders. The vehicle holds a compact design in the side profiling, being a compact 2-door SUT (and SUV when the rear camper-shell is attached). The wheel arches mostly avoid curves, with basic square-shaped arches with a small black arch trim outlining this. On the roof, a small aerial is present in the center.
−
In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the Rancher is not an on-road performance oriented vehicle. Its suspension consists of solid axles front and rear, as opposed to the independent suspension on more refined SUV's and pick-ups. This layout, coupled with a potent eight cylinder engine, means that on-road cornering is an erratic affair, with plenty of sliding and body roll.
  
  +
  +
On the rear, the vehicle features thin lighting units curving around the rear quarter. The vehicle's main brake lights are fitted in the center of the housing, with the indicators being at the top of the unit, and the reverse lights being squared, surrounded by the rear fog-lights (which appear unusable in-game). The Declasse's text logo is printed on the left side of the rear tailgate, and "Rancher" appears in a red format on the right side of it. The rear license plate is embedded into the tailgate, positioned to the right. The secondary colored "stripe" wraps most of the rear tailgate. The rear diff is also centralized on the rear axle. On the underside, the exhaust can be seen clearer, revealing it holds a large silencer directly after the exhaust tips are exposed. The exhaust pipe then diagonally crosses the chassis and follows the driveshaft back to the engine. While the suspension remains too unclear to identify, the Rancher appears to use a mix of both A-frame-dependent suspension (lightly indicated on the front axles) and leaf-suspension (seen on the rear axle, with only a small number of steel packs, hinting its light weight capacity).
  +
  +
The Rancher has 6-spoke alloy rims wrapped in high profile off-road tires, with knobbly treads and wide profiling.
  +
  +
On the rear underside, the exhaust can be seen. The exhaust takes a basic single exit, twin exhaust configuration, relating back to the modeled straight-4 engine. It is mounted on the left.
  +
The Rancher may come with several accessories:
  +
*A rear bed-cap (known as camper shells).
  +
*Rear mounted roll-bar with spotlights and card boxes in the bed.
  +
*Two different front bullbars.
  +
*A rear bedbox with several card boxes also in the rear.

===3D Universe===
  +
The Rancher is one of the best SUVs. Though its' top speed and acceleration are only average, its' handling, grip, and ride quality off-road is unmatched. What sets it apart from other SUVs like the [[Landstalker]] and [[Patriot]] is its' excellent suspension, making the toughest of bumps and hurdles almost nonexistent, and keeping the car stable throughout even San Andreas' winding country roads and rolling hills. Its' 4WD powertrain and large tires provide ample grip for climbing steep hills.
  +
  +
In ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'', the car makes an excellent choice for the racing mission [[Wu Zi Mu (mission)|Wu Zi Mu]], where its excellent suspension and grip allow it to easily overtake the adversaries, who primarily use rear-wheel drive on-road vehicles such as the [[Stallion]].

In ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', the Rancher is not an on-road performance oriented vehicle. Its suspension consists of solid axles front and rear, as opposed to the independent suspension on more refined SUV's and pick-ups. This layout, coupled with a potent four-cylinder engine, means that on-road cornering is an erratic affair, with plenty of sliding and body roll.
   
 
However, the old-fashioned suspension, together with 4WD and an easily controlled engine, starts to pay off when the vehicle is taken off-road. In the hands of a skillful driver, the Rancher is an excellent off-roader. The high ground clearance means boulders are negotiated with ease. The solid axles keep the vehicle planted, although the driver must always be wary of the risk of a roll-over (due to the high center of gravity).

—Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Website.

The Rancher is an 4×4 off-road vehicle that appears in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV. It is manufactured by Declasse in the HD Universe.

Design

3D Universe

Both renditions of the Rancher resemble a 1973–1991 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, particularly the 1979 and 1981–1988 models. It is stylised as a medium-sized SUV designed with off-road capabilities in mind, featuring large tires, soft suspensions and a high ground clearance. Despite its size, the two-door Rancher is only capable of holding two occupants, as its rear compartment is not capable of carrying passengers, similar to two-door pickup trucks in the series.

Both renditions follows a two-tone color scheme, where the primary color covers the majority of the vehicle, such as the hood, roof, some parts of the side profiling, and the rear bed. The secondary color poses as a stripe-like print on the sides and rear of the vehicle. The Grand Theft Auto: Vice City rendition always have the lower section in a black color, resulting in three different colors on a single car. This was changed in the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas rendition, so the lower section will have the same color as the upper section of the vehicle. Both cars only differs in minor details, such as the headlights, tail lights, rear end and wheels.

Despite being absent from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the SUV has its gang version, which shares most of the characteristics, but its details are very different.

Grand Theft Auto IV

The Rancher returns to Grand Theft Auto IV with a highly similar design, only now higher quality and slight cosmetic adjustments.

This rendition appears to be based on the Cheyenne Trim 1989–1991 K5 Blazer, while the slight lean of the rear of the cab resemble the 1980-1996 Ford Bronco. The headlights and tail lights seem to draw from the 1981–1993 Dodge Ramcharger.

Again, the vehicle follows the same two-tone color scheme, in the same manner as the GTA San Andreas rendition. In the frontal area, basic square headlights with small slit-indicator lights are found at the very edge of the grille-area. The grille is a basic rectangle with 6 splitters, finished in chrome. A basic singular bumper is found, with the front registration plate placed in the center, housed in a black frame. On the hood, a groove can be seen spanning the entire depth of the hood, curving off at the end. The entire hood is slightly raised near the edges. A simple flat front windscreen is found with also-simple rectangular side mirrors attached to the front doors with thin rods. The side windows are lined with a white outline, not present on the front windshield.

On the side, the most distinctive feature is the piped side steps found on either side of the vehicle. They attach to the underside of the vehicle. The Declasse logo is printed just behind the front fenders. The vehicle holds a compact design in the side profiling, being a compact 2-door SUT (and SUV when the rear camper-shell is attached). The wheel arches mostly avoid curves, with basic square-shaped arches with a small black arch trim outlining this. On the roof, a small aerial is present in the center.

On the rear, the vehicle features thin lighting units curving around the rear quarter. The vehicle's main brake lights are fitted in the center of the housing, with the indicators being at the top of the unit, and the reverse lights being squared, surrounded by the rear fog-lights (which appear unusable in-game). The Declasse's text logo is printed on the left side of the rear tailgate, and "Rancher" appears in a red format on the right side of it. The rear license plate is embedded into the tailgate, positioned to the right. The secondary colored "stripe" wraps most of the rear tailgate. The rear diff is also centralized on the rear axle. On the underside, the exhaust can be seen clearer, revealing it holds a large silencer directly after the exhaust tips are exposed. The exhaust pipe then diagonally crosses the chassis and follows the driveshaft back to the engine. While the suspension remains too unclear to identify, the Rancher appears to use a mix of both A-frame-dependent suspension (lightly indicated on the front axles) and leaf-suspension (seen on the rear axle, with only a small number of steel packs, hinting its light weight capacity).

The Rancher has 6-spoke alloy rims wrapped in high profile off-road tires, with knobbly treads and wide profiling.

On the rear underside, the exhaust can be seen. The exhaust takes a basic single exit, twin exhaust configuration, relating back to the modeled straight-4 engine. It is mounted on the left. The Rancher may come with several accessories:

  • A rear bed-cap (known as camper shells).
  • Rear mounted roll-bar with spotlights and card boxes in the bed.
  • Two different front bullbars.
  • A rear bedbox with several card boxes also in the rear.

Performance

3D Universe

The Rancher is one of the best SUVs. Though its' top speed and acceleration are only average, its' handling, grip, and ride quality off-road is unmatched. What sets it apart from other SUVs like the Landstalker and Patriot is its' excellent suspension, making the toughest of bumps and hurdles almost nonexistent, and keeping the car stable throughout even San Andreas' winding country roads and rolling hills. Its' 4WD powertrain and large tires provide ample grip for climbing steep hills.

In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the car makes an excellent choice for the racing mission Wu Zi Mu, where its excellent suspension and grip allow it to easily overtake the adversaries, who primarily use rear-wheel drive on-road vehicles such as the Stallion.

Grand Theft Auto IV

In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Rancher is not an on-road performance oriented vehicle. Its suspension consists of solid axles front and rear, as opposed to the independent suspension on more refined SUV's and pick-ups. This layout, coupled with a potent four-cylinder engine, means that on-road cornering is an erratic affair, with plenty of sliding and body roll.

However, the old-fashioned suspension, together with 4WD and an easily controlled engine, starts to pay off when the vehicle is taken off-road. In the hands of a skillful driver, the Rancher is an excellent off-roader. The high ground clearance means boulders are negotiated with ease. The solid axles keep the vehicle planted, although the driver must always be wary of the risk of a roll-over (due to the high center of gravity).

The vehicle features a modeled twincam inline-4, laid longitudinally in a front-engine, all wheel drive layout. The vehicle also features a large rear diff and silenced exhaust system.
