Revision 2

The Declasse Granger 3600LX is a four-door full-size luxury SUV manufactured in-universe by Declasse, confirmed to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI through Rockstar's official pre-release trailer footage. It is the higher-trim sibling of the standard Declasse Granger and sits at the top of the Granger nameplate, carrying chrome accents, a heavier frame, and a more premium cabin than the base truck. In the pre-release footage it is visible in an ambient street scene set in the in-universe state of Leonidareinforcing Rockstar's pattern of carrying popular full-size SUVs forward from Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online into the next title with a fresh design pass.

Overview

The Granger 3600LX belongs to the broader family of SUVs in the series, and within that class it represents the luxury end rather than the rugged off-road end. It is considerably larger than the standard Granger and carries a higher factory trim by default, complete with chrome plating around the bodywork, extended side steps, and roof bars. That silhouette places it in the same category as real-world executive-size SUVs that dominate American suburbs and private security details. In-game, Rockstar has historically slotted the 3600LX into roles where size and presence matter more than outright performance, such as VIP transport, crew hauler, or family hauler in richer neighborhoods.

Declasse, the in-universe manufacturer, is the series' long-running parody of Chevrolet, and the Granger line has always been the brand's Chevrolet Suburban analogue. The 3600LX extends that formula by pulling its design from the current generation of that same real-world nameplate, giving returning players a sense of continuity while also updating the model to match what people would actually see on the road in a Grand Theft Auto VI release window.

Appearance in Grand Theft Auto VI

The Granger 3600LX has been identified in Rockstar's official pre-release trailer footage for Grand Theft Auto VI, where the SUV can be seen in ambient traffic passing a street-level car meet in Vice City. Cross-referenced frame-by-frame breakdowns from independent outlets including the Wiki, andall identify the vehicle as a Granger 3600LX rather than the standard Granger. Those same sources note that both the base Granger and the 3600LX variant appear across Rockstar's trailer footage, which is consistent with how the two models have coexisted in Grand Theft Auto Online since 2022.

The design has been refreshed rather than rebuilt. The overall silhouette, the chrome window trim, the roof bars, and the side steps all carry over from the Grand Theft Auto Online version, so returning players will recognize the 3600LX immediately. The visible changes are concentrated at the rear. Pre-release analyses point out a handle added to the trunk door that is integrated into the license plate recess, a revised arrangement of the rear light cluster in which the turn signals and reversing lights have swapped positions, updated glass and lens textures, and a new crease running in line with the reversing lights across the trunk. The twin exhaust setup from the Grand Theft Auto Online model has been replaced with a single left-side exhaust exit tucked behind the rear bumper, and the Declasse badge above the license plate has been redrawn as a new chrome and black winged variant of the existing logo.

Rockstar has not published a spec sheet for the Grand Theft Auto VI build of the Granger 3600LX, so any in-game performance numbers, price, customization options, or mission role assignments are not yet confirmed. What is confirmed is the model's visual presence in Leonida traffic and the refreshed exterior design described above. Further details, including the vehicle's relationship to the wider vehicles and combat systems, will only become clear after the game's November 19, 2026 release.

The Granger Lineage

The Granger nameplate traces back to the HD Universe era of the series as Declasse's full-size SUV, sharing design DNA with the Chevrolet Suburban across multiple generations. The standard Granger is the older, boxier truck of the family. Its bodywork is drawn primarily from the tenth-generation Chevrolet Suburban, while the headlights echo the third-generation GMC Sierra and the taillights and black D-pillar borrow from the third-generation Ford Expedition and the earlier GMT800 Suburban. That base Granger has been a long-running presence in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Onlineturning up both as a civilian family hauler and as a dressed-up law enforcement SUV.

The 3600LX was introduced much later. It arrived in Grand Theft Auto Online on January 27, 2022 as part of The Contract update, which built its storyline around Dr. Dre and a private security agency called The Agency. In that update the 3600LX served as Johnny Guns' private militia transport during story missions such as Studio Time and Don't Fuck with Dre, and Rockstar's own Newswire post introducing the car leaned into its size and presence as a signature feature. The 3600LX was priced at $2,000,000 from Southern San Andreas Super Autos, with a discount to $1,500,000 available to players who completed five Security Contracts as a VIP leader.

The 3600LX also introduced a brand-new SUV interior model to the HD Universe, derived from the eleventh-generation Chevrolet Suburban that the exterior is based on. It was built as an Imani Tech vehicle in Grand Theft Auto Onlinemeaning it could be fitted with a Missile Lock-On Jammer or converted to a remote-controlled vehicle at Agent ULP's workshop. It could seat four occupants inside the cabin, and four additional players could ride on the side platforms holding onto the roof bars, with the outside passengers able to fire Assault Rifles while riding. This set the 3600LX apart from the standard Granger, which does not offer those features.

Real-World Inspiration

The Declasse Granger 3600LX is primarily modelled on the eleventh-generation Chevrolet Suburban, internally coded GMTK2YC by General Motors. That real-world platform was launched in 2021 and represents the modern, blockier body style that the 3600LX captures with its squared-off grille, tall greenhouse, and extended rear overhang. Because Declasse in the GTA universe is a stand-in for Chevrolet, using the current Suburban as the basis keeps the fictional brand aligned with its real-world counterpart.

Rockstar's vehicle artists rarely copy a single donor car verbatim. The 3600LX follows that tradition and splices in details from several other full-size American SUVs and trucks. Independent breakdowns on the Wiki and identify the following borrowed cues.

That mix pushes the 3600LX more clearly into luxury territory than the plainer standard Granger. The Cadillac Escalade cues in particular, including the grille treatment and side trim, are what differentiate a 3600LX in traffic from the base car: where the standard Granger reads as a working-class family hauler, the 3600LX reads as an executive or entourage vehicle. For players looking for a comparable real-world analogue in GTA VI's Leonida setting, the nearest cousins on American roads are the current Chevrolet Suburban, the GMC Yukon XL Denali, and the Cadillac Escalade ESV.

Expected Role

Because Rockstar has not yet released gameplay footage showing the 3600LX in a specific mission or usage context, its role in Grand Theft Auto VI can only be projected from its role in the previous game. In Grand Theft Auto Onlinethe 3600LX is characterized as a luxury civilian SUV with a clear tilt toward protection details and crew transport. Its standard fit with chrome trim, its Imani Tech compatibility, its ability to carry four armed passengers on the side platforms, and the fact that Rockstar introduced it through a storyline involving a private security agency all point in the same direction. It is the kind of vehicle a player would reach for when they want to look wealthy, move a crew, or run a target that expects a big, conspicuous truck.

The Granger 3600LX does not have an official law enforcement variant in any shipped Rockstar release. The base Granger has long served as the series' full-size police and federal SUV under several liveries, including FIB, park ranger, sheriff, and Los Santos Police Department units. The 3600LX has always been the civilian high-trim version, and every police-liveried Granger 3600LX circulating online is a fan-made FiveM or single-player mod, not official Rockstar content. Unless Rockstar reveals otherwise before launch, the 3600LX should be treated as a civilian luxury SUV in Leonida rather than a member of the emergency vehicles roster.

For comparison inside the Declasse lineup, the 3600LX sits alongside other premium Declasse models. The Declasse Tulip is the brand's muscle car, where the 3600LX is its flagship SUV. That pairing gives Declasse a dual identity in Leonida traffic: old-school American muscle on the street racing scene, and chrome-trimmed full-size SUVs in front of hotels, clubs, and private compounds.

Key Specifications

The table below summarizes what is currently known about the Granger 3600LX from its Grand Theft Auto Online incarnation and from pre-release trailer analysis. Numbers marked as GTA Online reflect the prior game. GTA VI specifications are not yet published by Rockstar.

What to Watch for at Launch

Once Grand Theft Auto VI ships on November 19, 2026, there are several open questions about the Granger 3600LX that the game will answer directly. The first is whether the side platforms and roof bar riding seen in Grand Theft Auto Online return as a gameplay feature in the new physics system. The second is whether Rockstar retains the Imani Tech concept in some form, and if so whether the 3600LX still qualifies as an upgrade target. The third is whether a new police or federal livery is introduced for the 3600LX specifically, breaking with the historical pattern where only the base Granger received emergency paint jobs. The fourth is how the 3600LX is positioned in the new map, given that Leonida's mix of beach towns, rural highways, and city traffic is a very different setting from Los Santos and Blaine County.

Until Rockstar provides that information, the Granger 3600LX should be treated as a confirmed returning vehicle with a refreshed exterior design and an expected role as a luxury civilian SUV, with gameplay specifics still pending.
