| Type | Coupe-utility pickup |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Vapid |
| Availability | GTA VI Ultimate Edition pre-order bonus |
| Bundled extras | Ganado Retro Build modkit: cab spoiler, rear aerials, special livery |
| Seen in | Jason's Safehouse |
The Vapid Ganado is one of the vehicles Rockstar Games confirmed at Jason's Safehouse as part of the Grand Theft Auto VI Ultimate Edition, revealed when pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026. Rockstar's own Newswire announcement describes the bonus as a way to "inject some muscle and classic stylings into Jason's well-worn Vapid Ganado pickup with exclusive mods," a line also quoted in Video Games Chronicle's report on the reveal.
The Ultimate Edition bundles the Ganado with a Ganado Retro Build modkit that adds a cab spoiler, rear aerials, and a special livery, according to TheSixthAxis's breakdown of the Ultimate Edition's contents. The Ganado sits alongside an Army fatigue-tinged Dinka Enduro motorcycle and a Crest Kayak as alternate vehicles available at the same location, Jason's Safehouse, rather than being sold as a standalone item. Rockstar's official screenshots show the truck finished in a yellow-and-red two-tone paint scheme with a matte black hood scoop, "Ganado" script on the front fenders, and a longhorn-style badge on the grille.
Unlike the '95 Grotti Cheetah and '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy, which are treated as separate collectible vehicles, the Ganado is presented as a truck Jason already owns, with the Ultimate Edition unlocking cosmetic and performance mods for it rather than granting the base vehicle itself.
The real car behind it
Vapid stands in for Ford throughout the Grand Theft Auto series, and the Ganado's long hood, split front grille, and coupe-utility body shape read as a clear homage to the Ford Ranchero, particularly its early-1970s GT-trim models. The retro build's red-and-yellow stripe package and black hood scoop closely mirror the kind of muscle-car-inspired graphics packages Ford applied to Ranchero GTs of that era, reinforcing the "classic stylings" Rockstar's own description promises.
How to get it
Rockstar has confirmed the Vapid Ganado's Retro Build modkit as an Ultimate Edition pre-order bonus specifically, meaning it is not included with the base game or the standard Vintage Vice City Pack pre-order tier. Rockstar has not published a standalone price for the modkit outside the $99.99 Ultimate Edition bundle, so any additional purchase details should be treated as unconfirmed until Rockstar states otherwise.
