The Hurst Buckaroo is a car in Just Cause (1).

Description

Despite its Australian-sounding name, it is a 1950s-style American pick-up, most likely based on the Chevrolet 3100 from Chevrolet's "Advance Design" series.

It has 2 seats. Normally you can never have a passenger, but some faction-owned ones are technicals, equipped with a Mounted Gun for additional firepower if manned by another individual. The mounted gun can only be operated by a Guerrilla/Rioja who's standing in the cargo compartment. They are guaranteed to do this during a liberation when you're driving it.

Unusually for a pick up, its cargo compartment door opens to the side, instead of down.

It's made by the fictional Hurst company.

Performance

It has decent speed and handling for a vehicle of its type. It can ram other cars quite well but is futile against something like the Battaille GPT-6. It can gain some impressive air time when hitting jumps and ramps at high speed. It is not faster than San Esperito Police Department vehicles.

The Buckaroo can also withstand a few magazines worth of any shotgun and can survive a missile hit (Rico will still receive a lot of damage) but mostly the truck will catch fire so ditching the Buckaroo seems like quite a waste for an all-around vehicle.
