The Rancher requested in Stevie's Car Thefts in GTA IV. The Rancher may come with or without a camper shell, as well as one of a range of accessories, much like a regular Rancher.
A Rancher in GTA IV is among a range of cars requested in Stevie's Car Thefts, featuring a unique blood red and light gray body color. Unlike the normal Rancher, the "rnchlure" version cannot be exported or modded at mod garages. The only distinction of this variant from the normal Rancher are its black-tinted windows (which obscure the occupants of the vehicle, a central element of the Lure mission). The vehicle's internal name suggests that it was intended for use in the mission " Lure", however a regular Rancher is used in that mission. A unique Rancher (internal name "rnchlure") is spawned with the spawn a Rancher cheat in GTA San Andreas. The player is free to steal it from him and save the car in a garage. On the next attempt, a PIG driving a black Rancher will appear and start driving around the track as well. A unique black Rancher can be obtained in GTA Vice City after " Test Track" is completed three times, each time beating your previous record. FBI Rancher (GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, GTA Chinatown Wars as the FIB Rancher and GTA Vice City Stories by using CheatDevices). The Rancher's top speed is 81 mph, or 135 km/h. The solid axles keep the vehicle planted, although the driver must always be wary of the risk of a roll-over (due to the high center of gravity). The high ground clearance means boulders are negotiated with ease. In the hands of a skillful driver, the Rancher is an excellent off-roader. However, the old-fashioned suspension, together with 4WD and a easily controlled engine, starts to pay off when the vehicle is taken off-road. This layout, coupled with a powerful V8 engine, means that on-road cornering is an erratic affair, with plenty of sliding and body roll. Its suspension consists of solid axles front and rear, as opposed to the independent suspension on more refined SUVs and pick-ups. In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Rancher is not a on-road performance oriented vehicle. The suspension is soft, which makes the car quite comfortable, even on broken surfaces such as railroad tracks. Performance is only average, but its chassis is better. The Rancher is one of the better SUVs in both GTA Vice City and GTA San andreas. Performance GTA Vice City - GTA San Andreas
