Rancher XL

A pioneer of the mid-size SUV market during the 1980s and early 1990s, the Rancher harks back to a simpler time when you could still stick a metal box on wheels and call it a car. If you’re the kind of person who wants a fun off-road vehicle for less than 10k, and doesn’t pay too much attention to crash data, this is the car for you.

The Rancher XL is a durable off-road SUV featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. Manufactured by Declasse, the Rancher XL draws inspiration from classic American SUVs, combining robust performance with a rugged design, making it ideal for both urban and wilderness adventures.

Design

The Rancher XL embodies a rugged, utilitarian design typical of classic American SUVs. It features a sturdy body-on-frame construction with a boxy silhouette, large wheels, and a high ground clearance, making it ideal for off-road adventures across the diverse terrain of San Andreas.

Performance

The Rancher XL is renowned for its durability and off-road capabilities, more than its speed and agility. While it may not be the fastest vehicle in the game, it excels in handling rough terrain and steep inclines. Its rear-wheel drive and solid suspension ensure it remains steady and reliable on unpaved roads and dirt trails.
