The Brute Pony is a van in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City, Grand Theft Auto V, and Grand Theft Auto Online.

The van returns from the 3D Universe, where it assumed a similar design.

Influence

[edit | edit source]

The Pony appears to be mostly based on the second generation Dodge Ram Van. The front fascia resembles that of the 1989-1991 GMC SL, with the side marker lights from the 1988-1994 Chevrolet C/K series and the flush composite headlights from the 1987-1991 Ford F-Series. The front bumper appears to be derived from the 1992-2007 Ford Econoline/E-Series, while the taillights may be inspired by the 1992-1994 Econoline.

Design

[edit | edit source]

Grand Theft Auto IV

[edit | edit source]

In Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City, the Pony is a traditional American full-size cargo van with a 1980s design. It features a chrome front fascia with flush composite headlights, along with a chrome-on-plastic front bumper and a full chrome rear bumper. The rear features conventional split barn doors with exposed hinges, and tall taillights with exposed lens screws. The interior features unique metal bars separating the cab from the rear cargo area. The van spawns in a variety of primary colors, and may spawn with or without a roof rack, as well as cardboard boxes in the cargo area.

The Pony spawns with one of four possible liveries: Mr. Wong's Laundrette, Pizza This..., Sum Yung Gai Chinese Restaurant, and U-Benders Pluming Services. It cannot spawn without a livery.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online

[edit | edit source]

In Grand Theft Auto V and Online, the Pony features a nearly identical design to its previous iteration, though the chrome grille bars have been darkened to the point where they almost appear black. It spawns with one of three possible liveries: GoPostal, Sprunk Xtreme, and Sunset Bleach Cleaning Services. Only the latter livery can spawn in a variety of primary colors, as the GoPostal livery will only appear over a gray color,[1] and the Sprunk Xtreme livery will only appear over a dark green color.[2] Again, the Pony cannot spawn without a livery.

Performance

[edit | edit source]

Grand Theft Auto IV

[edit | edit source]

The Pony's performance is somewhat distant compared to the Speedo and the Burrito, as its top speed and acceleration are lower, given the rather large size and the RWD layout. Its handling is decent and its brakes are average, but tends to be problematic when attempting to steer. Resistance to crashes is something that the Pony will have over the Speedo and the Burrito, as the rather heavy weight allows it to push vehicles easily at top speeds and seems to withstand more head-on collisions than the two aforementioned vans. In other words, instead of the Burrito's focus on speed and the Speedo's focus on handling, the Pony is heavily focused on resistance.

The Pony is powered by a transversely-laid, double-cam inline-4, coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a FR layout. There is a badge on the rear that states it is a supercharged engine.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online

[edit | edit source]

The performance of the Pony remains challenging, as the van has extremely poor acceleration, which is on par with the Utility Van's. The Pony has a higher top speed than other vans, however its sheer weight and size prove a struggle for the van to reach it, and the low-revving diesel-sounding engine clearly is not powerful enough. The vehicle has acceptable brakes, and a mediocre cornering, which can be said better than other, larger vans, but still not as nimble as the Speedo or Rumpo. Strangely enough, the Pony can drift quite decently for a van with below-average performance.

On a technical standpoint, the Pony is not different from its GTA IV iteration, having the same inline-4 coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a FR layout, again stated to be a supercharged engine. However, it is slightly faster due to the increased speed, according to the files.
