“It's a dangerous world out there, so how can you protect yourself? How about doing the rational thing and purchasing a Stockade armored van. Workable, reliable and bulletproof, is there anything the Stockade isn't good for? Well, getting anywhere fast.”
— Warstock Cache & Carry description, GTA Online.
The Brute Stockade (formerly known as the Securicar) is an armored truck appearing in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
The truck returns from the 3D Universe where it also assumed the design of an armored truck. It is operated by Gruppe Sechs, and is known for carrying varying amounts of cash which can be stolen by the player.
Influence[]
The truck chassis is a combination of the armored truck design based on the International 4700 Series chassis, incorporating elements from the armored cars build on the third generation GMC Topkick chassis, particularly noticeable in the front fascia.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Securicar is produced by Brute. The truck shares its basic chassis with the Enforcer and the Police Stockade. All these vans are equipped with a bulletproof windscreen; however, the Securicar additionally includes bulletproof side windows.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
In Grand Theft Auto V, the vehicle is named Stockade, but retains the same design as its previous iteration. The truck has Light Smoke window tint applied by default.[1] For the first time in the series, the entire vehicle is bullet-proof.
Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
The handling and acceleration of the Securicar have been greatly enhanced, and it will no longer tip over when turning corners. It is highly resistant to gunfire and everyday vehicle damage, but it is not explosion or fire-proof. While possessing an acceptable acceleration rate, the Securicar has an impressive top speed for its class, and can ram, shove or even drive over other vehicles without losing too much momentum.
Something unique to this vehicle, unlike its law enforcement variants, is that all windows are bulletproof, protecting the occupants completely from gunfire.
It is powered by a large, 8 liter (or 8000cc as seen on the badging for the vehicle) turbocharged engine. The engine model appears to be a twin-cam Inline 4, turbocharged, shared with many other trucks in the game.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Stockade has, comparably, the best performance of all the trucks in the game, with better acceleration, top speed, handling, and of course durability. As intended, the vehicle can sustain multiple impacts with and from traffic, and can resist gunfire with ease. The Stockade's endurance capabilities makes the Stockade one of the strongest trucks in the game.
Again, the engine model appears to be a twin-cam Inline 4, turbocharged, shared with many other trucks in the game. Despite this, the engine sounds to be somewhat similar to a high-revving diesel engine, creating a significantly smooth sound when compared to larger trucks, such as the Pounder and Phantom.

Rewards[]
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
- After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie, he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Securicar fetching $4,000.
- The Securicar will spill a large amount of cash around it if blown up (usually containing between $500 and $2000), but doing so with weapons will immediately attract a two-stars wanted level, regardless of where it is done. To avoid this, the player can use one of the car-bombs supplied by Patrick McReary (this is his friendship bonus) to blow up the car, or damage it enough while driving it that it will burst into flames and explode. The money that is ejected from the truck after explosion disappears faster than money dropped by pedestrians on the streets. Also, there will always be money under the truck that the player will not be able to collect, apart of the subsequent fire that would burn the player.
- A good way around this is to blow the truck up by either ramming it enough times until it catches fire in a parking garage on a lower level and run to the floor above to collect the cash, as none will be under the truck if using this method. This will be for a limited time (about 25 seconds).

Oversights[]
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
- The headlights of the car detach along with the hood, when the vehicle is damaged enough. However, they will work just like they were still within the vehicle. The same applies for vehicles with a similar hood configuration, such as the Patriot.
- Although the Securicar has bullet-proof windows, these can be broken by an explosion near the vehicle or by an involuntary ejection.
- The rear axle of this vehicle is also unique, as compared to most of the heavy vehicles in Grand Theft Auto IV, it utilizes single wheels on each side of the rear axle, as opposed to twin wheels. However, if driven on dirt or sand, or doing a drift, the player can see that it leaves tracks as if it had twin wheels (as evidenced by the six tracks it leaves behind when turning). This also applies to the Ambulance and the police variants of the Securicar.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
- If the driver or passenger performs a drive-by, the windows will disappear. This is due to them being classified as bullet-proof and thus unable to be smashed by hand.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- The vehicle's Rockstar Games Social Club does not list the vehicle as purchasable, despite being available for purchase from Warstock Cache & Carry.
Radio Stations[]
The Securicar and Stockade have the following defaultdefaultstations dictated by the vehicle, not set by any previous NPC occupant's preference radio station(s):
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, the radio is set to "Off".
- In Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, the radio is set to "Off".
- In Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition, the radio is set to "Off".
- In Grand Theft Auto V and Online, the radio is set to "Off".
