A tough pickup that can take gunfire and crashes well. It handles heavily and is not fast, so it is a good tank-like truck when speed matters less than staying alive.
How to spot the Contender
Two-door pickup with a split grille, mesh intakes and two ducts on the hood. It spawns in one color, with silver on the lower body and around the grille. Extras include a bull bar, roll cages, spotlights and a bed cover.
How it drives
Despite the supercharged badge, power is low and speed is modest, about the same as the Bobcat. Handling is below average and it understeers in corners. Durability is the strength: it survives collisions and gunfire remarkably well.
Where to find the Contender
- Most districts of Broker and Dukes
- Star Junction, Fishmarket North, Fishmarket South and The Triangle in Algonquin
- Steinway, where the McReary gang drives a variant
- Twitchin’s Sugar factory compound on Creek Street in BOABO
