Benchmarks
Top speed from GTA V handling files (stock profile). Lap time and tested top speed are optional community benchmarks from GTACars.
Handling & mods
Stock handling summary, model flags, handling.meta flags, mod tips, and full numeric profile. Handling.meta curb-boost / reduced-mass flags need a full meta extract.
- AI handling profile
- AVERAGE
- How NPC traffic drives this model.
- Launch wheelspin
- 0.9
- Lower = cleaner hard launches; higher = more burnout.
- Aero drag
- 10
- Air resistance — lower often helps top speed.
- Downforce
- 0
- Spoiler/aero downforce from handling.meta.
- Brake bias (front)
- 0.6
- Front vs rear braking split.
- Ride height
- 0
- Stock suspension raise — clearance for off-road.
- Weapon damage taken
- 1
- Lower = tankier against bullets.
- Crash damage
- 1
- Lower = survives collisions better.
- Drivetrain
- RWD
- From GTACars / game data.
- Centre of mass
- x 0, y 0, z 0.35
- Lower Z can mean more stable; high Z increases flip risk.
- Inertia multiplier
- x 1, y 1, z 1
- Rotational resistance — affects how quickly the body rolls and yaws.
- Engine + turbo (LSC)
Engine upgrades and turbo improve acceleration on almost every land vehicle. Combine with transmission for faster gear changes.
- Armor plating (LSC)
Body armor reduces bullet and explosion damage. 100% armor dramatically increases survivability — essential for PvP and missions.
- Bulletproof tires (LSC)
Prevents tires from popping when shot — keeps you moving under fire. Pairs well with armor.
- BulkyLarge collision volume — can push smaller cars aside more easily in contact.FLAG_IS_BULKY
- Economy carSofter, economy-class handling — less grip and slower response than sports-tagged cars.FLAG_POOR_CAR
- Extras StrongModel flag from game files.FLAG_EXTRAS_STRONG
- Has Interior ExtrasModel flag from game files.FLAG_HAS_INTERIOR_EXTRAS
- Increase Ped CommentsModel flag from game files.FLAG_INCREASE_PED_COMMENTS
- Off-road vehicleUses off-road tire physics by default — better grip on dirt and loose surfaces without buying LSC off-road tires.FLAG_IS_OFFROAD_VEHICLE
No handling.meta flags in the current dump for this spawn. Re-run extract-gtao-game-dump from your GTA V meta files to populate curb-boost and reduced-mass flags.
- Drive force
- 0.22
- Acceleration power from handling — higher generally means stronger launches.
- Aero drag
- 10
- Air resistance coefficient. Lower often helps top speed on straights.
- Downforce modifier
- 0
- Aero downforce from spoilers and body — higher can add grip at speed.
- Max traction
- 1.65
- Peak grip — affects cornering and off-road bite.
- Min traction
- 1.25
- Baseline grip when sliding or on loose surfaces.
- Lateral traction
- 17.5
- Side grip in corners — higher resists sliding sideways.
- Traction loss
- 0
- How fast grip fades when wheels spin. Lower = less wheelspin.
- Low-speed wheelspin
- 0.9
- Launch traction — lower helps hard launches; higher can mean more burnout.
- Traction bias (front)
- 0.48
- Front vs rear grip split. 1.0 = FWD bias, 0.0 = RWD bias.
- Brake force
- 0.4
- Stock braking power before LSC brake upgrades.
- Brake bias (front)
- 0.6
- Front vs rear brake balance. Higher = more front braking.
- Handbrake force
- 0.3
- Handbrake bite — important for drifting and rally handbrake turns.
- Steering lock
- 35
- Maximum wheel angle — higher helps tight low-speed turns.
- Suspension stiffness
- 1.8
- Spring rate — affects body roll and stability over bumps.
- Suspension raise
- 0
- Stock ride height offset — positive raises the body (ground clearance).
- Suspension upper limit
- 0.2
- How far wheels travel upward — affects compression over bumps.
- Suspension lower limit
- -0.25
- How far wheels droop — affects rebound and off-road articulation.
- Anti-roll bars
- 0.7
- Reduces body roll in corners.
- Roll centre (front)
- 0.05
- Front roll axis height — affects cornering stability and flip tendency.
- Roll centre (rear)
- 0.05
- Rear roll axis height — pairs with front for balance in turns.
- Camber stiffness
- 0
- Sidewall stiffness in cornering — higher resists rolling onto the tire shoulder.
- Percent submerged
- 85
- How deep the vehicle can sit in water before flooding (amphibious / boats).
- Fuel tank volume
- 45
- Fuel capacity in liters — minor range implication.
- Weapon damage taken
- 1
- Multiplier for weapon damage. Lower = survives more hits.
- Collision damage
- 1
- Crash damage multiplier.
- Engine damage
- 1.4
- How easily the engine fails from damage.
About this vehicle
Don't think of this as buying a rusty pick-up truck with shoddy brakes; think of it as buying a piece of history. The 1930s look is huge right now, so you'll have to act fast if you want to beat the hipsters to the punch. We know you'll treasure this classic Rat-Loader from Bravado just as much as the previous 19 owners did.
