The Shimizu Tumbleweed is a pick-up type car in Just Cause (1).

Appearance

It's a pick-up type car, based on the 1987-1991 Ford F-150. Some variants are technicals armed with a mounted gun, giving them significant offensive power when manned by an operator.

Performance

The Tumbleweed is faster than the average car and stable at high speed, even when being rammed. It has a good suspension, giving a smooth ride.

It's no sports car, but it's definitely among the better half of civilian cars.

As a rear wheel drive car with a light looking rear end, it should do well at Drifting, but having good traction, this doesn't seem to be possible.

Versions and locations

Owner	Color	Weapons	Locations
Civilians	Civilian colors (all non-Faction colors).	None	In traffic all over San Esperito. At a parking lot, next to a small shop, just north north-east of Esperito City (the capital).
Guerrillas		Mounted Gun	Parked at Guerrilla safehouses at a certain rank. This is unmarked.
	Green		In traffic in unstable areas. In a lot of the "liberation" sidemissions. In the mission "Brothers in Arms".
Unnamed faction	Civilian colors		Used by enemies in "Brothers in Arms". They are special for being the only unmarked armed variants with a Mounted Gun pointing backwards. Obtaining one of these requires failing the mission. You'll have to set the explosives near Esperanza; then run to the car while ignoring all enemy fire (lack of time to shoot) and then detonate the explosives and thereby fail the mission.
Montano Cartel	Purple		In the fifth storyline mission, "Test of Loyalty". To obtain it, drive it to a safehouse, fail the mission (with whatever means you need), and return to the safehouse. It should be there.
