GTA 5 - Past DLC Vehicle Customization - Vapid Guardian (Ford F-650)

Welcome back to the series where I customize and review OG, and older DLC Vehicles from late 2015 and older that I was never able to make videos on. The reason I make these videos on these older cars is to provide my opinion on how they currently stack up to newer ones in-game. And ultimately, help you better decide whether or not you should buy them when/if the more expensive ones go on sale.
Vapid Guardian
Base Price - $375,000
Class - Industrial
Drive-train - 4x4
Primarily Based On - 7th Gen Ford F-650
DLC Update - Heists Update

Could you do some more Forza Horizon 5 Customization videos

[@devileyse9229]

Make a video on rare vehicles

[@srjr91402]

Correction, it's not based on a Ford at all, anyone who actually pays attention to the real life comparison of GTA vehicle brands and the real ones they replicate, 'Vapid' is literally the GTA V version of GM, so in other words, the Vapid Guardian could only be a replication of either the GMC you showed the picture of or a Chevy 3500-6500, obviously extended cab, diesel

The fun thing about this truck is that you can stay on the back of it and you won't fall when someone's driving it. I used to troll AFK players with the atomizer, then giving them a ride to mount chilliad :D

[@kdog350]

An actual decent interior, good exterior styling, minimal customization. Overall a decent truck that I never see driving around.

[@reikia]

only time I see it used is in metpro's videos killing mk2s in it when someone is sniping in the bed because u can stand in the bed without falling when driving

[@danimartinez5734]

My friend has this one, all nice and clean. We use to pursue of trailer in haulage, with someone on the back like the previous comment mentions

[@tcg1_qc]

I have one myself and I like driving it around, it's so big you can drive over other player's cars and it's intimidating. I painted it red and chrome, it's almost like a semi truck

[@aminabduljaber1466]

Fun fact: the GMC pickup truck that you referenced in the beginning of the video that the guardian takes some styling cues from is actually the same pickup truck that Ironhide took form as in the transformers trilogy

[@DigitalCarAddict]

Yes it is!

[@PaganCurse98]

That probably the reason why they added the guardian I just wish they gave us an Optimus Prime livery for the Phantom custom

You should check out the Lampadati Furore GT next, It's an underrated and forgotten sports car. It has no customization unfortunately, but it's beautiful design and exhaust note makes up for that. Bonus Fact: Window tint is also applied to the headlights.

[@drumandbassking12345]

One of the very few old dlc vehicles i still own. With all the chrome trim and nice gloss paint and the new offroad tyre textures it really looks like an f650. And with all the engine upgrades it goes pretty nice imo!

[@IanRB26]

Ubermacht Zion (and to lesser extent, Zion Cabrio) was probably the longest class king and should have some attention. Still amazes me it was king back from 2013 all the way to 2021. Granted, we only ever had a handful of Coupes but still.

Yes, it was a forgoten car in GTA 5

[@PaganCurse98]

So I have a funny story to tell with the guardian. One of the Lamar missions involving a tanker trailer the tires of the tanker were all popped and we couldn't get it up hill so I called out my guardian and it was able to push the trailer up and pass the mission.

[@stxncekvng9443]

8:30 the Duke-O-Death doesn’t have a plate option either, not sure if Rockstar was lazy when it came to these cars but it is very strange

Well there's the ifruit method, sadly you can't change the background colour

Super underrated truck. One of my favorite cars in the game actually. Also fun fact you can stand on top of it without falling off which makes it super fun to use with friends

[@ChuckC3]

Honestly the vapid contender or dubsta 6x6 would be amazing to see next, love the vid man keep it up

[@garchompy_1561]

if you look closely, the engine is an inline 3. the model for it does stop before the firewall, and theres only 3 exhausts coming out. I mean I guess it could be sharing multiple cylinders per xhaust pipe but that would mean the cylinders are even smaller.

[@VG19164]

Finally, I wanted you to customize this car for much time now

[@GS01010]

Love how surprised you where at the handling lol, think your videos are great, big love from the UK

There's also a secret customization to remove the truck bed.

I was dead thinking about copping this too, goodlooks for the video. Came out right on time!

[@G200064]

I personally really love my guardian It's really just that quick and nimble on the streets when you put it in the dirt and slows it down tremendously and the back tires get loose like most cars do

[@A90L..]

is it all wheel drive?

[@G200064]

@@A90L.. indeed But it's pretty heavy and there's something in the game I forget what it's called where when you drive on dirt/offroad vehicle is act different black with a lot of trucks to get slower and feel like they sink into the dirt while a lot of sports classics do really well in dirt And also it's all the weight is in the front and center of the truck and the back is very light so it tends to let go of the back tires

[@A90L..]

@@G200064 do u know if theres even any rwd trucks in the game, i would buy the guardian and put low grips on it but after how my other truck felt on low grips it doesnt really wanna drift

[@bearrett50kal17]

Imani tech Gaurdians would be so much fun. Also despite the gas tanks it's still a top offroader, and I like the gas tanks. Mine is Ford blue with chrome secondary so there's a whole lotta chrome, it's quite good.

[@firefiregoose3695]

Still got my Guardian from when it first came out and still one of my top favorite vehicles

[@ALCvideoprofile]

This was one of my first vehicles when I came back to GTA Online (at the time it dropped on PC). I need to buy it again. I did not even realize it is the sole ownable vehicle in the industrial class!

[@walterwhite5093]

Would like to see your take on the Surfer Van. Surfboard edition. Not a lot of customization options, but its one of those vehicles that can have several looks with just messing with colors, wheels and suspension.

[@zondazerda2230]

"This, is 2016 Ford F650"

[@CamoSquid]

I hope eventually, either in gta 5 or 6 someday, they should add the option of increasing suspension height too

[@michaelp607]

The Windsor drop would be a cool video :). It’s a 4 door luxury convertible.

[@Nick-dh3nd]

Third times the charm you should do the original baller based on the 04 L322 it surprisingly has some customization

[@LxstGalaxy2000]

Fun fact: You can actually stand on the back of the guardian and no matter how fast it is going you will not ragdoll off perfect for a cop chase

[@therailcat9790]

Idk if you've done this, and it's very lackluster in the customization department, but the Bravado Bison is one I'd like to see your version of. Unfortunately it's just not quite on the ideal TRX level, but it's a decently close good looking Ram truck nonetheless

[@Kellett781]

I started off with the executive package a few weeks ago when I started to play. Zero experience with GTA at all. I had trouble driving ANYTHING that the package came with, and nothing on the street at the time seemed worth the effort. Then I came across the sand king and the sand king upgraded spawn. I was hooked. These trucks aren’t the fastest thing going, but they drive over most things in your way and will go anywhere. Introduction to drifting a console car? Check. Keep driving after all tires and panels are blown off? Check. Most fun I ever had in this game was driving out of police impound in my 4d sand king with everything blown off of it and sliding into LSC for repairs. Still new to the game…. Still have to get the agency before I can drop money on vehicles that can’t be stolen. But on my list of things to pick up after, the guardian is at the top.

[@que2001]

I'd love to see the bravado youga next, has some interesting customization for a street van

[@Landon1860]

I remember when this first came out I was so excited lol. I remember the steering wheel wouldn’t move though back when gta first came out on ps4 not sure if they ever did fix it

[@andylavreys6703]

Two tips for you all. It’s the best vehicle for snorkeling underwater in GTA 5 online. And it can be load with mc motorcycles goods if you are doing a sell mission. I bought it for those two reasons. It’s very beautiful with chrome secondary collor. Have fun!!

[@jakubchmielecki4041]

Hi DCA, I would like you to take a look at Hijak Ruston or Ocelot Locust, quite underrated cars that can be converted into fine looking track racers. 🔥

[@rubenjrlarios7741]

PLEASE DO VAPID BOBCAT XL NEXT! We need more pick-up trucks like these :(

[@yettai1995]

A slight more information on what's based on. Its mainly based on the ford f-650 super trucks conversion as the f650 doesn't come with a pickup version stock

Should do the stallion next. Pretty much no customization, just 3 roof options, but still such an underrated car, now being free for returning players.

12:40 You forgot to mention that R* didn’t put any physics on the Guardian. Meaning that players can stand anywhere on it while the guardian is in motion. Also the guardian is capable of driving halfway submerged in water too.
