Pony

The Pony is a goods van that made its first appearance in Grand Theft Auto III and went on to feature in all of the following games of the GTA III Era (except Grand Theft Auto Advance).

Overview
The Pony is a medium sized van capable of carrying four passengers (two in the front, two in the back). The vehicle has reasonable speed for what it is, but it's handling suffers from it's very stiff suspension setup which makes the vehicle unstable on bumpy roads. It can be found driving around the industrial areas of the cities in which it appears. In Grand Theft Auto IV the Pony is manufactured by Brute. Special modified versions of the Pony appear in GTA games for instance the Pantlantic(GTA3), Top Fun(GTA VC), and the TOYZ(GTA 3, GTA LCS).

The GTA IV version manufactured by Brute. It looks similar to the Burrito, except with single head-lights, different grille, different roof rails and different tail lights. It has different company signs painted on it's sides. The GTA IV Pony can rarely be spotted, but sometimes it can be found parked near Dukes.

Name confusion
There is some confusion over the differences between the two vans - the Pony and the Rumpo - as the vehicles that appear under those names in GTA III are renamed in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. In GTA III the Rumpo looks almost identical to the van known as the Burrito in subsequent games, while the GTA III Pony is a larger van with an enlarged roof. In GTA Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, however, the Pony was redesigned with a lower roof, and this (now seperate) tall-roof design was renamed the Rumpo, while the van known as the Rumpo in GTA III was given an entirely new name, Burrito.
