The Patriot is a recurring four-door SUV (formerly a military vehicle) that has appeared in almost every Grand Theft Auto games since Grand Theft Auto III. It is manufactured by Mammoth in the HD Universe.
Influence[]
In general, the Patriot is depicted as a large SUV, employed by both the military and civilians, meant to parody the Hummer lineup, as well as its military counterpart, the AM General HMMWV.
3D Universe[]
In Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the Patriot resembles a Hummer H1, while in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the Patriot resembles an unarmed AM General HMMWV.
HD Universe[]
In the HD Universe, the Patriot is based on the GMT800 2003–2006 Hummer H2, with minor alterations such as the tail lights, and no spare tire on the trunk; the grille design is similar to that of a 1987–1990 Dodge Caravan.
Design[]
3D Universe[]
In Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the Patriot is popular as a civilian SUV, often found in Portland and Staunton Island. Patriots come with heavy-duty bumper defenses and may spawn with four different bed configurations: Standard, with roll bars, with a small bed cover and a large bed cover. The vehicle is seen in a variety of primary colors, with secondary-colored defenses, handles, roll bars and window trim (set to different shades of grey).
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the Patriot is reserved for the military. The design of the Patriot undergoes only minor cosmetic changes compared to the GTA III model, being the side steps, horizontal door handles and amber lights on the rear bumper. The GTA San Andreas rendition, however, features significant modifications on the body which present the Patriot as a more rugged, off-road vehicle, with a shortened truck bed, slanting A and C pillars, a vehicle snorkel (which unfortunately does not allow the truck to wade in water), and redesigned front and rear fascia.
The military variants of the Patriot are exclusively painted military green in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories and beige (desert camouflage) in GTA San Andreas, with black bumpers and details; the GTA Vice City Stories variant also features a five-pointed star on the hood lid, denoting its association with the United States' armed forces.
During development, the Patriot in GTA III was previously known as the "Hum Vee", after the HMMWV's "Humvee" nickname. The Hum Vee differs from the Patriot in its particularly low ground clearance, and in the front of the vehicle being more similar to the real-life Humvees.
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Patriot, adopting the Mammoth brand, is now designed as a luxury SUV. The Patriot retains the general appearance from the 3D Universe iterations, but depicted with a slightly more luxurious SUV used by civilians. The front end of the vehicle is relatively small, with a flat grille on the center and square lamps on the outer sides, over a silver portion of the car. The lower side is protected by a small bumper with an angled guard, holding the license plate. The front is part of a single compartment that opens forwards, featuring two intakes on the hood area, near the windshield.
The sides denote its modernized appearance, with flared arches and bottom side. A set of side steps can be seen, together with a single exhaust on the driver side. The vehicle also makes use of black, plastic-like door handles and rear-view mirror shells, as well as square-shaped windows, where the ones on rear compartment are tinted. The roof makes use of silver trim on either side and three marker lights on the center, over the windshield and the rear windows.
On the rear, a single compartment door can be seen holding the license plate, just between the vertical tail lights. A large plastic rear bumper protects the rear end, with a "MAMMOTH" texturing on it.
Patriots may spawn with certain accessories, including a bullbar on the front and a set of non-functional spotlights. By default, it comes with step sides, but some variants may have side exhaust pipes. The vehicle is normally depicted with single colors on the bodywork, although most of them can be seen with an American flag vinyl decal on the side. It uses large seven-spoke rims with low-profile tires, most likely custom wheels since an off-road vehicle is usually equipped with small rims and high-profile off-road tires.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars[]
The Patriot is depicted with two different design, depending of the platform:
- In the Nintendo DS version, the Patriot is depicted as a two-door, pickup truck-like body style, similar to a 2-door Hummer H1 pickup truck, complete with a permanent rear canvas covering over its extended bed. This marks the first time in the series the Patriot is depicted in this form.
- In the PSP and iOS, the Patriot assumes a design similar to the GTA IV rendition, adopting the four-door layout.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Patriot in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online has an identical exterior design to the Patriot featured in GTA IV, and retains most of the modification parts, although the American flag decal is absent completely.
The Patriot can assign a secondary color, which is applied on the door handles, while the primary color affects the interior stitching. The vehicle gains an updated rim design, which is similar to the "Supernova" SUV rims found in Los Santos Customs.
After the After Hours update, the Patriot was changed. The vehicle has received numerous model changes, including an entirely new engine. The front and rear lights have received new light textures and the rear lights have been reorganized. After the continuation of the After Hours update, the vehicle is able to have numerous modifications applied, including a non-functional roof light bar, along with Gunrunning liveries, albeit only available in GTA Online.
Performance[]
3D Universe[]
The 3D Universe Patriot has medium top speed, due to its heavy weight. It is very durable, and has outstanding off-road capabilities, mainly because of high ground clearance, unusual width, and suspension. It can climb very steep gradients due to its standard low-range gearbox, and does not roll, due to the low center of gravity. Because of the low-end torque and acceleration, its engine seems large, especially in first and second gear, and is quite quick for such a large, heavy truck. It is widely assumed that the Patriot has a high-displacement V8. Although it is powerful, caution should be used when driving over vehicles as the Patriot has a tendency to roll over and catch fire. It should also be noted that the Patriot has bulletproof windshields, like the Securicar.
The Patriot in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is powered by a high-output V8, which is capable of powering the large, heavy vehicle up to very high speeds. Acceleration is average, but handling is remarkably sharp for a vehicle of its size and weight. Its low center of gravity and wide frame make it less susceptible to rollovers, and thanks to its 4WD drivetrain, it is able to traverse uneven terrain with ease. Durability is excellent, and is as expected from an armored vehicle.

Grand Theft Auto IV[]
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Patriot has relatively impressive performance. As well as being a full off-road vehicle with endless capabilities, it is also very well performing on-road. Its acceleration is surprisingly impressive for a vehicle of its size; its weight being the only issue that contends with this acceleration. Its top speed is not too impressive, but still surpasses several other off-road 4x4 vehicles. In terms of handling, the vehicles turn radius is rather large and therefore cornering does not seem to be much of a problem for the Patriot. Durability is very high for this vehicle, further improved on the NOOSE Patriot – its police variant. It can withstand a large amount of gunfire and does not explode within one shot of an RPG unless it directly hits the underside or engine bay of the vehicle. The vehicle's suspension is rather poor in that the vehicle bounces around a large amount, but due to its off-road capabilities, this is vital, though on road is compromises its steering capabilities as it tends to role in high cornering. Its ramming power is on par with some large trucks, including the Enforcer; it has a large amount of power to push other vehicles out of the way, which is very useful combined with its weight.
The Patriot appears to be powered by a V8 engine, judging by the cover, coupled in a 4-speed gearbox in a front engine, all wheel drive layout. Its engine sound is shared with that of the Voodoo.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
In Grand Theft Auto V, the Patriot returns as more of an on-road vehicle than an off-road. While the AWD layout remains the same and seems appropriate for off-roading, the major alteration is the suspension, which is now highly stiffened and therefore does not seem fitting for off-road (rock climbing, for example, proves a problem in some instances, as the vehicle tends to become stuck or rolls over). The top speed seems to be higher, and acceleration is further improved. Due to GTA V's revamped physics, its turning radius is now dramatically reduced, but thanks to the suspension fixes, vehicle roll around high cornering is no longer present. Durability is not altered too much, however the slight reduction in weight and power means the vehicle is less capable of ramming other vehicles off the road with ease, compared to its GTA IV appearance.
Originally, the Patriot had the same transversely-mounted V8 cover from its previous iteration. After the update mentioned above, it now has a longitudinally-mounted double-cam Inline-4 with throttle bodies on the intake manifold, to match with the engine model from its stretch variant.

FLAG_EXTRAS_REQUIREinvehicles.meta; the Patriot's exhausts and step-sides are found as separate combinations ofextracomponents, causing them to clash without this flag, or spawn completely missing.- This issue can be fixed in GTA Online by entering a Los Santos Customs, selecting any of the custom short exhausts and then, selecting the stock option again.
- The front bullbar extra hinges with the hood upon opening, causing it to clip through the front bumper, as the bumper itself is not part of the hood.
- The Patriot also received incorrect dirt mapping on the rear compartment on one of the lower LoDs, causing small squares of dirt to be applied on the Patriot's rear at a distance when the vehicle is dirty. This was likely an unintentional mistake by Rockstar when updating the vehicle for After Hours.
- The rear bumper upgrades added with the new model in After Hours are misaligned to the right.
- As of the After Hours update, driving a Patriot spawned with accessories (i.e. bullbar, roof lights) into Los Santos Customs removes the accessories, leaving a "plain" Patriot.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The name "Patriot" refers to how the Hummer H1 was introduced after the military M998 Humvee gained popularity with the lay American public, as it was featured predominantly in media coverage of the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf War.
- In Manhunt 2, a Bloodhounds variant of the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City rendition of the Patriot appears during the opening scene of "Most Wanted".
- Despite being considered a military vehicle in the 3D Universe, the player cannot perform Vigilante missions in the car.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City[]
- A civilian version of the Patriot was originally supposed to appear in the game, but was dropped during development.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
- The player can access the K.A.C.C. Military Fuels via ground if they approach the gate with a Patriot (this also works with the Barracks OL or Rhino).
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories[]
- The Patriot cannot be repaired at a Pay n' Spray.
- Despite the fact that this variant of the Patriot features multiple color schemes in the game files, it only ever spawns with the standard dark army green color, as it has a set texture. However, the 'real' primary color can be noticed by crashing the vehicle and paying attention to the color of the crash particles. This is a characteristic shared with the ammo truck variant of the Barracks OL, the Gang Rancher and the Polaris V8.
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
- If the hood falls off, the headlights will still work.
- If the Patriot is resprayed multiple times, it will lock between gray and dark blue and cannot be resprayed to another color.
A papercraft model of the Patriot, available for download on the Rockstar Games Social Club website.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars[]
- Under the Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars section of the Rockstar Games Social Club website, members may download a printable papercraft model of a Patriot. The vehicle's design is more alike that of GTA IV than GTA Chinatown Wars.
- The Patriot is sold by the auto merchant at $500.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
- The front axle of the Patriot does not appear to incorporate a differential or driveshaft, despite all four wheels being driven.
- Patriots that spawn in traffic can either come with four unusable roof lights, a front chrome bullbar, or neither of these. None of these additions will affect the Patriot's performance (other than the bullbar possibly protecting the headlights from breaking in crashes), and also cannot be purchased nor modified at any Los Santos Customs.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Patriots driven by NPCs have a small radio antenna above the windscreen. When the player enters a Patriot, the antenna disappears.
- Roof-mounted LED lights can be mounted in Los Santos Customs, but they are not functional.
- While the stock front bumper has functioning yellow lights (that light up at night time), the custom ones do not.
