The Vapid Caracara 4x4 is a four-door pick-up truck added to Grand Theft Auto Online and due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI.
Description[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The car was first added as part of The Diamond Casino & Resort update, being available for purchase with the release of the update on July 23rd, 2019.
Grand Theft Auto VI[]
The Caracara 4x4's presence in Grand Theft Auto VI was first spotted in the game's first trailer, where an orange model can be seen mud-crawling in the background at Thrillbilly Mud Club (0:55).
The Caracara 4x4 can then be seen multiple times in the second trailer.
Influence[]
The Caracara 4x4 draws heavy inspiration from the thirteenth-generation 2014–2018 Ford F-150 (P552), particularly the 2017–2020 Raptor. The grille is specifically based on the Lariat trim models of the F-150, but with only a single bar in the middle, which mirrors the Shelby F-150. The front bumper appears to be influenced by the VWerks Predator Package for the F-150. The positioning of the exhausts resembles that of the first-generation Raptor, while the shape of the Caracara 4x4's headlights is reminiscent of the facelifted twelfth generation Ford F-Series, but with the same size and placement as the 2014–2021 Toyota Tundra. Additionally, the recess above the hood, housing the LEDs, bears a resemblance to the vent above the Tundra's grille. The tail lights bear a resemblance to those found on the second-generation Nissan Titan. The hood design takes inspiration from the Ram Pickup models and the Ram Rebel TRX concept.
Liveries[]
- The "Black Double Stripe" and "White Vapid Double Stripe" liveries are likely references to those of the Shelby F-150.
- The "Rear Vapid Angle Stripes" livery pays a similar homage to the back stripes seen on the SVT Raptor.
- The "Red Painted Scratches" livery seems to be based on the Roush Custom SVT Raptor.
- The "Painted US Flag" livery may be based on the West Coast Customs "The Patriot" F-150.
Modifications[]
- The front "Commercial Bumper" and rear "Primary Rollpan Bumper" are most likely modeled after the stock bumpers found on the F-150.
- The "Dual Long Rounded Exhausts" and "Vapid Large Grated Grille" bear resemblance to those features seen on the 2017–2020 Ford Raptor.
Design[]
The Caracara 4x4 is essentially a shorter, four-wheel-drive, and unarmed version of the Caracara, where many of its features were retained from the 6x6 version, including the vented hood and the light strips over the grille. While its front bumper remains identical in shape to the one in the 6x6 version, it sports a smaller meshed vent, along with holes on the outer edge panels.
As with the armed Caracara model, the light strips above the grille serve as the vehicle's high beams when turned on, and while the Caracara 4x4 can be fitted with roof lights and front bumpers that feature fog lights, they are entirely non-functional.
Again shared with the original armed model, the Caracara 4x4 uses the "Cavalcade" interior model utilized in vehicles like the Riata and the Kamacho, featuring the Vapid badge on the horn cap.
The color distribution is the same as the Caracara, where the primary color affects most of the bodywork, while the secondary color is applied to the grille elements, the vehicle's springs, and any modification parts that utilize the secondary color. It shares the same wheel model with the Guardian, being a paintable derivative of the ones seen in the Bodhi, though the center cap is also painted.
Performance[]
On tarmac roads, the Caracara 4x4 seems to have wavy handling due to its tight turning circle, thanks to its 4WD layout. Off-road, however, it feels planted and negates any chance of a spinout, and its heavy-duty suspension makes it beneficial in navigating through rough, uneven terrain. Its speed is good, though not enough to keep up with other faster Off-Road class vehicles. Its large tires make them a prime target for gunfire, so equipping it with bulletproof tires are a necessity if using it for combat.
The Caracara 4x4 has one (the eleventh) Advanced Flag enabled.[1] The purpose of this flag is to limit the TYRES_CAN_CLIP handling flag (which allows the tires to clip into the ground when bottoming out) to stock wheels only, as well as prevents suspension from collapsing when the center of the wheels are shot.
Similar to the Caracara, the 4x4 model is powered by an inline-4 engine bearing throttle bodies. Contrary to the original Caracara, the 4x4 version has a higher revving engine that produces more power. As of the Los Santos Summer Special update, however, the engine sound has been changed that resembles the Guardian, despite sounding like a V8.
Installing any "Rack" modification will increase its traction slightly, in the same way as a spoiler.
