Template:Infobox vehicles The Benefactor Dubsta is a four-door SUV in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Design

Grand Theft Auto V

The Dubsta features classic European styling and features many elements that bear strong resemblance to a Mercedes-Benz G-Class 463. The overall styling is very boxy, putting emphasis on its off-road purpose in favour of appearance.

At the base of the front, a large plastic front bumper, spanning the entire width is visible. Above this bumper, a main, chrome-trimmed central grille is positioned on an elevated area of the front. There are rectangular turn indicator lamp units either side of the grille, whose lower edge is in line with the bottom of the vent for the grille. Above the turn indicators, the main headlamp units are larger and also rectangular. The headlamp units have upper edges that are in line with the top of the main grille. The front quarter areas are almost entirely covered by very wide wheel arch flaring, adding to the muscular appearance of the vehicle. The bonnet/hood features an elevated area similar to both vehicles that it is based on. The windscreen also begins at a height higher than the base of the A pillar, like both of its inspirations.

The sides continue the utilitarian and rugged theme, featuring straight lines for the main body line and edges for greenhouse windows. The line that separates the side of the body from the roof is also completely straight. At the base of the A pillars, the car features what appear to be large, plastic rear-view mirrors. The rear wheel arches are similar in appearance to the front, but are less elevated from the body.

Performance

Grand Theft Auto V

The Dubsta features good ground clearance, such that its axles and differential can be viewed from a slightly high angle. The SUV features a high displacement engine, presumably a V12 engine based on the badge on the back, but the cover looks like a V8. This is sent through a permanent four wheel drive system, and then finally through large, high-profile tyres to the ground. The Dubsta is one of the most capable off-roading SUV's in the game, since it has the ability to climb over rocks and make it up steep mountains without getting damaged at all and without hesitation, as its V12 supplies an excellent amount of torque.

This SUV sadly suffers from massive body roll both on-road and off-road due to its narrowness. Going over bumps or small debris at high speeds may flip the vehicle entirely. Giving the Dubsta off-road wheels is a viable method to alleviate this setback, fortunately.

Its heavy weight can be useful when ramming other cars or pushing them. By feathering the throttle, it is possible to push a medium weight car with ease. The V12 engine, if untuned, will struggle against the weight and thus it cannot attain high speeds, and has average acceleration.

Description

There is a 6-wheeled off-road pickup truck variant that was added in the I'm Not a Hipster Update, dubbed the Dubsta 6x6, based on the 6-wheeled variant of the Mercedes-Benz G63.


dubsta2

There is a modified version of the Dubsta that spawns at the meeting points for Offroad truck Races which sports certain modifications that are not available at Los Santos Customs. This variant has the same performance stats as the regular Dubsta, but all of the trim and chrome details have been blacked-out. This model also features more shallow roof indentations and a black bullbar, black rear guard, tailgate-mounted spare tyre and black side-step. The design details of this variant seem to be inspired by the Mercedes-Benz G Class models modified by the aftermarket tuning company Brabus. Prior to Heists Update, this variant had no manufacturer badge on the garage stats popup if obtained in GTA Online on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 version. They can also be found in the mission Trevor Philips Enterprises, to get the car, just kill the Aztecas in the door of the meth lab and take it to the garage. This variant can spawn in two different heavily customized forms in the enhanced edition of Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It also appears in the Further Adventures in Finance and Felony update trailer.

Dubsta
  • Commonly seen driving through the streets of Los Santos.
Dubsta2
  • A pre-modified version (Gold or Chrome) can rarely be found at Hillcrest Avenue in Vinewood Hills near the Normandy Drive intersection. (however, this no longer happens)
  • A gold or chrome pre-modified version can spawn near an LSC in Los Santos between 9:00 and 17:00 game time when another Dubsta2 is nearby.
  • The Road Captain of a Motorcycle Club can spawn a Dubsta2 in free mode for club use for $1000. This version has bulletproof tires and bullet-resistant front and back glass. It can be used to spawn another Dubsta2 at an LSC in the city that can be kept as a personal vehicle.

Rewards

Grand Theft Auto Online

  • The Dubsta sells for $7,000 at Los Santos Customs (all versions), while the Dubsta2 can be sold for $23,250 (enhanced version only).

Trivia

General

Grand Theft Auto V

  • In the beta version, the Dubsta had a different grille and had a higher suspension.
  • When entering Los Santos Customs in the dubsta2, the car's name is shown as 'Dubsta', instead of 'Benefactor Dubsta'.
  • Although the Dubsta can have off-road headlight modifications on the front bullbar, and the roof racks, neither can be turned on. The same goes for the Dubsta 6x6 and the Brawler.
  • The Dubsta's tailgate spare wheel option in Los Santos Customs functions as a spoiler, and adds traction. The only other vehicles to have this anomaly are the Glendale, Stirling GT, and the Moonbeam Custom.
