5 recognizable vehicles belonging to the protagonists of GTA Series

Most GTA protagonists have their own personal vehicle of choice, which is often tied to their individual personalities.

Two skills are essential to the GTA experience - shooting and driving. However, it's not enough to be good with weapons.

Players also have to move from one point to another, which is made easier by private vehicles. This of course saves time in a carjacking and avoids the attention of the police.

While players have the freedom to choose which vehicle they want, these are special vehicles with stronger associations with the protagonist. GTA 5 really stands out; all three playable characters have their own personal vehicle. Even if they lost it, the vehicle would reappear later.

Five iconic vehicles from GTA player characters

5. CJ’s bike

While this was not the vehicle of choice for Carl Johnson, he used it regularly in the early days of GTA San Andreas. In the first mission (In the Beginning), CJ is left behind in Ballas territory.

To return to Grove Street, he steals a nearby bicycle and leaves. This is the first time in the GTA series that players can ride bicycles.

The OG members of the Grove Street Families used this bike a few more times during missions. One memorable example was when they had to escape from Ballas while driving and it remains a classic of GTA San Andreas.

GTA 5 references CJ riding a bike from the Hood Safari mission, where a lookalike appears as a hidden secret. It's no surprise that CJ is often associated with him, considering he was the first GTA protagonist to try it.

Bikes allow players to perform neat tricks, which the game tracks on the menu screen.

4. Johnny’s Hexer

A biker is nothing without his bike. It represents freedom - for a few seconds on the road, real-world problems disappear in the rearview mirror. The bicycle should be an extension of the biker.

That's Hexer to Johnny Klebitz, the villain member of Lost MC.

Johnny's preferred method of transportation is this modern classic motorcycle. Given the prominent use of bikes in Lost and Damned, GTA players can expect to use them frequently in missions.

Hexer will easily respawn in the local clubhouse parking lot.

3. Trevor’s Bodhi

This red rust mechanical stack belongs to Trevor Philips. The Bodhi is an outdoor vehicle that can traverse the sandy terrain of Blaine County.

Background information suggests it was once a military vehicle converted into what it is today. The license plate says BETTY 32.

After a certain mission is completed (Hang Ten), Trevor will equip the grill with a teddy bear. A stark contrast between a child's toy and a crazy serial killer, to say the least. Mr. Rasberry will still be around unless GTA players adjust the front bumper.

By the way, any GTA 5 protagonist can go to the local custom shop and change the appearance of the vehicle. Whether it's a rear spoiler or a fresh coat of paint, GTA players can be creative with their choices.

In Trevor's case, he could definitely use extra armor and bulletproof tires.

2. Michael’s Tailgater

Style, status, and sophistication - these are the words Simeon Yetarian uses when he describes Tailgater. Michael De Santa has a black variation, which he parks in front of his million-dollar house. The license plate reads 5MDS003.

Tailgaters are relatively common in affluent places like Vinewood Hills. Even Michael's hated foe has one of these; Devin Weston has at least two.

However, if GTA players choose to customize, Michael's can stand out from the useful modifications.

1. Franklin’s Buffalo S

Franklin Clinton is an accomplished driver who can maneuver the tightest corners. What made it easier for him was the great performance of his Buffalo S. This is a vehicle with good acceleration and top speed.

However, it requires modifications to reach its potential. Franklin's license plate reads FC1988.

Buffalo S is usually painted white, though GTA players can customize it differently. Franklin will test his driving skills during the mission. Along with its special ability to slow downtime, the Buffalo S proves to be a useful commodity in difficult situations.

Franklin is without a doubt the best driver in GTA 5, which means players will be spending a lot of time with these special vehicles. Interestingly, Franklin has another private vehicle, namely the green Bagger.
