Grand Theft Auto III & Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories[]
The Hoods Rumpo XL is a customized variant of the Rumpo used by the Southside Hoods, where it is notable that in Grand Theft Auto III, the Hoods Rumpo XL is larger than the standard Rumpo (thus the "XL" nomenclature). However in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, it is the same size as the regular Rumpo, but with larger wheels. It is primarily distinguishable from a regular Rumpo by its paintjob.
In Grand Theft Auto III, the body of the van body features a total of three color tones (dull green, blue and red), and also features graffiti on both sides, while the Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories rendition features a white and yellow paintjob, as well as the aforementioned graffiti. There is a way to get a Hoods Rumpo XL without the graffiti through glitching or very rare occurrences, just like the lightless Taxi glitch.
Grand Theft Auto Advance[]
In Grand Theft Auto Advance, the Hoods, which is also based on the Rumpo in the game, differs with its grooves on the roof that run from the front to the back, as opposed to the grooves of the Rumpo that cut across the van from its sides. It can appear in four different colors as opposed to the standard Hoods Rumpo XL in the other games.
Performance[]
3D Universe[]
The Hoods Rumpo XL handles neutrally and once it picks up speed, the van can go fairly fast. The acceleration is faster than the normal Rumpo, but strangely it is slower at top speed. It is also all wheel drive and can easily drive up steep hills like the one near the Shoreside Vale Safehouse in Grand Theft Auto III.
For the Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories rendition, however, its technical aspects have been changed. Its mass and top speed were increased, its drivetrain is now rear-wheel drive, being difficult to use off-road.
