The Vapid Caracara is a 6x6 weaponized off-road pickup featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series update, released on April 3rd, 2018, during the Target Assault Week event.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Caracara appears as a 6x6 truck heavily inspired by the Ford F-150, more specifically, the Hennessey VelociRaptor 6X6, a 6x6 alternative. The tail lights are a stretched version of the Riata's, which in turn are very similar to those of the 2016–present Nissan Titan.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
Overall, the vehicle handles, as expected from an off-road truck, best off-road, although it is very prone to being flung with the tiniest of bumps and collisions, and has a tendency to flip onto its slide, more so than the Dubsta 6x6. Its road performance isn't overwhelming and certainly doesn't keep up with other turreted vehicles.
Durability wise, the truck is as weak as the Dubsta 6x6, being in no way comparable to the likes of the Technical Custom, Insurgent Pick-Up Custom and having no armor against weaponry, taking zero missiles before exploding - the vehicle also lacks bulletproof windows, although does feature bulletproof tyres [citation/verification needed].
- Weaponry
- The Caracara comes equipped with a DShK 12.7mm machine gun, which has devastating power against pedestrians and unarmored vehicles, making it a good choice for an escort vehicle. The vehicle is able to kill most NPCs and players in one to two hits and take down most helicopters or vehicles in less than twenty.
- The second option is a mounted GAU-17/A 7.62mm Minigun, which behaves like many mounted miniguns found on other vehicles, such as the Valkyrie. Although not very powerful, the high fire rate makes it great against unarmored targets and cars, causing regular vehicles to explode in just a couple of seconds, while the stock gun can take more than double that time.

Trivia
General
- The name "Caracara" is a reference to the Ford Raptor, as caracaras are raptor birds.
Grand Theft Auto: Online
- This is currently the longest personal land vehicle in the game, and may be repositioned slightly in certain garages to avoid the car clipping into the walls.
- Furthermore, If the player brings the Caracara to Los Santos Customs or personal garage, the vehicle will instantly skip the drive-in cutscene.
