Have fun trying to parallel-park the Bobcat XL in a busy city center. This extra long, heavy-duty pick-up truck has become equally popular with both farmers and people who shop at farmers' markets.
Southern San Andreas Super Autos description, GTA Online.

The Bobcat XL is a two-door pickup truck appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, and due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI. The vehicle is manufactured by Vapid in GTA V and GTA Online, and Declasse in GTA VI.

Description

[edit | edit source]

Grand Theft Auto VI

[edit | edit source]

The Bobcat XL made its first official appearance in the opening shot of the game's first trailer, where it can be seen towing a Boat Trailer carrying a bow rider motorboat (0:02). It can later be seen in a parking lot on Vice City's Rialto Islands (0:31). In the second trailer, a closer shot of its rear with its tailgate down is briefly shown as Jason exits a grocery store (0:44). The Bobcat XL also appears in four official screenshots of Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Port Gellhorn, and Ambrosia.

In its official appearances, the Bobcat XL appears to have undergone minor design updates, including additional front vent windows, higher-quality taillight textures, and a redesigned rear bumper.

The Bobcat XL had appeared a multitude of times in the September 2022 GTA VI leaks, although it retained a model identical to its earlier Grand Theft Auto V and Online appearances.[2][3][4][5][6] It later appeared in the August 2026 GTA VI leaks, seen towards the end of a video titled "Hypercar Part 2", where it assumes an updated model, but still retained its former Vapid badge.

The Bobcat XL appears more close-up in An Extended Look, where it features a new Declasse badge.

Influence

[edit | edit source]

The Bobcat XL appears to mostly resemble the third generation Chevrolet C/K dually, albeit in a two-door, extended cab configuration without dual rear wheels. Its taillights are taken directly from the Moonbeam, which resemble those of the Jeep Liberty (KK).

Design

[edit | edit source]

Grand Theft Auto V and Online

[edit | edit source]
A hardy, all-round pickup, the Bobcat XL looks just as at home shuttling weapons through your subterranean facility as it does grinding roadkill into the highways of rural America.
Career Builder description, GTA Online.

The truck is essentially based on the original Bobcat from Grand Theft Auto IV, but comes in a long-wheelbase XL variant. The front cab is identical to that of the regular Bobcat, but the badges on the hood were removed and the front bumper adds a license plate on the center. The rear section, however, uses a wider and longer truck bed, with no side steps and bulky rear fenders that hint at a dually (dual rear wheel) configuration (though it uses single wheels). The rear end features a similar tailgate with the vehicle's name embossed on it, while the tail lights are similar to the ones from the Moonbeam in texture and layout. There is a flat bumper with the license plate on the center, together with a tow hitch similar to the Sadler and the Bison, allowing to tow small trailers.

The interior of the truck is based upon the original Bobcat, sharing the characteristic rectangular dial cluster on the driver side, but the interior finish is dark grey rather than the Bobcat's brown one. In the enhanced version, the truck uses a dedicated analog dial set, consisting of two main dials on the outer sides (speedometer on the left and tachometer on the right) and two smaller gauges above the steering column (fuel gauge on the left and volt gauge on the right).

All Bobcats XL come equipped with bull-bars, and some have camper shells over the bed and a small visor above the windshield. The truck can spawn in a variety of single-tone colors or two-tone colors, where the primary one is applied on the lower side and the secondary one on the upper side and the upper surfaces of the truck bed walls. It uses a set of industrial wheels similar to the "Fairlie" muscle rims seen at Los Santos Customs, wrapped in medium-profile tires.

Performance

[edit | edit source]

Grand Theft Auto V and Online

[edit | edit source]

Being an older heavy-duty pickup truck, the Bobcat XL, while slow, is acceptable given its purpose and size. The truck itself is of large mass and therefore negates performance in many areas, including top speed, acceleration rate, and handling. The truck has above average deformation thanks to the front bullbar, wide wheel arches (especially in the rear, which benefit in inability to camber the wheels upon crashing), and wide body frame. The truck takes large head on crashes before it starts to show signs of engine damage, and it is also largely bullet-resistant (with the exception of the occupants, who are still vulnerable due to the large windshields).

Like its base model, the Bobcat XL is powered by what is stated to be a 8.9L liter (550 cui) V10, according to badges, but the engine takes the form of a single overhead cam V8. The high displacement engine is connected to, evidently by sound, a five-speed transmission system, further connected via driveshafts to a front engine, rear wheel drive drivetrain (contrary to its "Super 4x4" badges, which indicates it is an AWD vehicle). It uses a loud diesel engine sound shared with vehicles like the Bodhi, the BeeJay XL and the Granger.
