The Ranchero Truck is a vehicle in Just Cause 4.
Description[]
It's a medium-size 1980s looking truck with a roofless cargo compartment, a big enough cabin to have a bed for the driver and a single rear axle. The 5 panels of the cargo compartment walls are designed to be manually raised and lowered. It resembles the Fiat 619 and Stria Obrero.
It has a spare wheel under the rear end, 6 compressed air tanks, 2 fuel tanks and 4 boxes of unknown purpose connected to the frame. The fuel tanks always have some black shiny leaked, or overflown fuel on them. The truck also has 4 air horns behind its bumper. The front axle has 2 hydraulics pistons to turn the wheels. It has a single vertical exhaust pipe at the right rear corner of the cabin.
Flipping the truck on its side reveals air brake chambers for its rear drum brakes, but none on the front. The absence of front brakes could explain its poor braking ability.
There's an odd little hook under the front bumper on the right side. A towing line would easily come loose from there, so its purpose is unknown.
When damaged, it starts emitting smoke from the front, but when blown up, the fire comes from the middle.
Regardless of what base one might spawn at, they're always in civilian colors.
Performance[]
It's slow to accelerate and feels like it has poor brakes.
It won't reach its maximum speed on most (if any) roads and takes up about a half of Aeropuerto General Benitez to reach the top speed.

Trivia[]
- JC4 reuses several JC3 vehicle models with changed names. This truck is a nearly exact copy of the Stria Obrero.
- It's unclear whether it's made by Armadillo or Prisa Automóvil, because the front of the truck says Prisa While the logo in the bottom-right corner of the HUD resembles that of Armadillo.
- From pre-launch gameplay videos it's seen that this truck was initially named "Prisa Ranchero". At some point all weapons and vehicles were renamed to include words for what they are. In this case they had to add that it's a "truck". See more known examples at Cut game content from Just Cause 4.
