This list covers vehicles such as heavy trucks, buses, large commercial vans and other large vehicles that fit the required description.

The Securicar's name is also similar to that of the real life Securicor company. The "GRUPPE Sechs" logo printed on the sides of the truck, but obscured by German wording, obviously refers to group sex, or gang-banging (group sex in German is Gruppe Geschlecht, or Gruppensex and is sometimes pronounced Gruppe sechs).

resembles a Volkswagen Type 2 van; related to Camper van.

An image of the Landstalker (which is available to the player in the game whereas no vehicle by the name of Maibatsu is) is displayed in the classifieds section of GTA III's instruction manual to represent the Maibatsu Monstrosity. Another advertisement of the vehicle found in the online Liberty Tree website depicts the Monstrosity as a monster truck.

a replication of the Lotus Seven (made famous by the 1967-1968 TV series The Prisoner; additionally, there is a Locust in the game that has a virtually identical colour scheme, dark green body with a yellow nose.)

For most of the renditions, all Police cars assume a panda-like design, with a black and white color scheme (green and white for renditions in GTA:VC and GTA:VCS). The only notable exception to this is the GTA:LCS rendition, which is fashioned to resemble that of the New York City Police Department during the 1990s [2] (save the use of black instead of NYPD's blue color). The idea of this design was originally considered in GTA III, but was changed during development to black-and-white a panda paint scheme in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York City.

[edit] Airplanes

Image:GTAIII PC vehicles Dodo.jpg Image:GTASA PC vehicles Cropduster.jpg
  • Andromada — SA (Available only through use of GameShark, Action Replay or other game modification tools.)
a large cargo aircraft that resembles a C-141 Starlifter. It is one of the largest controllable vehicles in the GTA series, but is slightly smaller than the AT-400 airliner. It can also be obtained without a cheat device in GTA:SA on the mission "Stowaway",[citation needed] for Mike Toreno, but is not know to be obtained by other standard means.
  • AT-400 — SA

Image:AT400Jet.jpg

a large jet-powered airliner that resembles a Boeing 737. It is the largest controllable vehicle in the GTA series, but only one of them is available in GTA:SA, found within a large hangar in the Las Venturas. The height of the AT-400's door from the ground also means that the player could only access the aircraft through a separate stairway or platform, the only vehicle in the series to possess such a quality. The AT-400 also serves as the player's automated air transport in GTA:SA for paid trips between San Andreas' airports.
  • Beagle — SA

a V/STOL jet fighter aircraft that resembles the Boeing/BAE AV-8B Harrier II, but with a ventral air intake like an F-16 Fighting Falcon or Eurofighter Typhoon.

  • Nevada — SA
a twin-propeller airliner that resembles a Douglas DC-2 or DC-3.
  • Rustler — SA
a World War II-era fighter aircraft that resembles a Curtiss P-40 (The Rustler's tail-mounted landing gear does not retract like a P-40, however). The aircraft also features wing-mounted machine guns.

a business jet that resembles a Bombardier Lear Jet, but includes wings similar to that of a Gulfstream G500.

Image:GTASA PC vehicles Nevada.jpg

  • Skimmer — VC, SA, VCS
a seaplane and essentially a Dodo on twin pontoon floats. This could be seen as unusual, because this configuration is very rare due to the impracticality of mounting heavy floats onto such a light aircraft.

a compact, two-door news helicopter bearing "SAN News" markings, based on the Maverick.

resembles a Sikorsky S-70/H-60. The Raindance is most likely an inspired by the commercial S-70A Firehawk variation of the S-70 given it is a fire department aircraft. As the Raindance is based on both helicopters, it also resembles the military Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk.
  • Police Maverick — VC, SA, LCS, VCS
a police variation of the Maverick, with a player-usable searchlight in GTA:SA.
