White police SUV
Name not confirmed
What the community calls it
Widely identified as the Police Montagne.
GTABase files the marked police SUV as the Police Montagne, with Vapid as the manufacturer and a sixth-generation Ford Explorer as the donor. Our frame is a head-on shot of a white SUV wading through the Grassrivers with one red roof lamp lit. It shows a police SUV exists and where it goes; it shows no name and no badge.
What supports it
- Upright nose with a shallow power dome, a dark horizontal-bar grille in a pale surround and narrow angular headlights set high: the front of the donor their entry names.
- A dark mark sits on the front door below the mirror, exactly where a department badge belongs, so this is a marked unit rather than an unmarked SUV.
- A second source, written separately, puts the same vehicle in the same official screenshot: the wiki's image for the police Montagne is filed as OfficialScreenshot-Grassrivers04, which is the Rockstar still this page measures.
What does not
- That door marking is the one thing we would want to read, and it does not resolve.
- Montagne is a nameplate we have never seen on a vehicle in this game. The Vapid in front of it is theirs too, not ours.
- The wiki says the name is legible: a hood badge above the grille, faintly reading MONTAGNE, on a blue one that overturns in the Extended Look. That is their reading of a frame we have not measured.
- Only the nose and the front door are in the frame. The flank, where a livery would run, is not.
- Two sources, one picture. The wiki names this exact screenshot; GTABase names the vehicle and no picture at all. Together that is enough for the title to say what other people call it, and nowhere near enough for us to call it that ourselves.
Read on GTABase, September 17, 2026. They name the vehicle but no picture, so they confirm that it exists and not that it is the one in our frame. The identification is theirs, not ours.
Read on GTA Wiki (gta.wiki), September 18, 2026. They name this picture: PoliceMontagne-GTAVI-OfficialScreenshot-Grassrivers04.png, against our press-grassrivers-04. The identification is theirs, not ours.
We have not confirmed this. Our confidence in the identification: low.
When the real name is confirmed, this page moves to that name and this address keeps working.

A white police SUV coming head-on through standing swamp water in the Grassrivers press stills, spray off both front wheels, a blue lamp on the roof and a red one inside the windscreen.
The vehicle comes straight at the camera through shallow water in the fourth of the press pack's <a href="/gta6/locations/grassrivers/">Grassrivers</a> stills, the same frame that holds the <a href="/gta6/vehicles/police-helicopter/">police helicopter</a> overhead. It is a broad white SUV with an upright nose and a shallow power dome pressed into the bonnet. The grille is a dark mesh with horizontal bars in a pale surround, the headlights are narrow, angular units set high at the outer corners, and the lower bumper carries a wide dark intake with a recess at either end.
Two lamps are lit, and they are not where the page once put them. A blue lamp burns on the roof at the front corner, on the left as we see it, a single low unit rather than a bar across the roof, which is in frame and plain. The red one is inside the car: a short red bar mounted at the top of the windscreen on the passenger side, glowing through the glass. On the front door, below the mirror, sits a dark mark where a department badge belongs; it does not resolve.
Water is coming off both front wheels in sheets, reeds stand across the foreground, and the vehicle sits low in it, so this is a wetland crossing and not a road. The value of the record is as much the setting as the vehicle: marked units run into the Grassrivers, not only on tarmac. A second frame filed here, from the tunnel chase in the Lucia Caminos stills, shows a police vehicle behind the getaway car with a light bar on its roof, too blurred to say whether it is this one; its roofline reads lower.
The name others give it is Police Montagne, on a sixth-generation Ford Explorer pattern, and the nose here fits that donor: the dome in the bonnet, the bar grille, the high narrow lights. GTA 5's marked SUV was the Sheriff SUV on a Declasse Granger, so a police SUV under this name would be new to the series. Nothing in the frame carries the name or the badge, so it sits below as an attribution with its counter-argument.
How to recognise it
- White SUV, upright nose, shallow power dome in the bonnet
- Dark horizontal-bar grille in a pale surround, narrow angular headlights set high
- Blue lamp at the front corner of the roof; red bar inside the top of the windscreen
- A dark mark on the front door below the mirror, not legible
- Driving through standing water with reeds in the foreground
The frame it comes from
The frame is a still from the official Press pack, which carries no timecode. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 353 by 270 of it. Also in it: Grassrivers, a pickup truck, and a police helicopter.
How this was measured
| Source | Press pack |

| Frame | 3840 × 2160 |
| Crop | 353 × 270 — a small part of the frame |
| Image check | 22 September 2026 — checked |
| Text check | 22 September 2026 — 20 claims read against the image, 3 corrected |

|---|---|---|---|
| the mark on the front door below the mirror | 15 px | — | no |
These figures come from the dataset, not from the prose above. We measure everything and claim what counts. How we work
What we still do not know
- The department marking on the door
- The livery down the flank, of which the frame shows only the front door
- Whether any name is badged on the vehicle at all. Nothing in this frame carries one.
- Whether the tunnel car in the Lucia Caminos stills is the same vehicle
- Everything measured: top speed, handling, where it spawns
A note on this record
Rebuilt on 22 September 2026 against the 4K press still, with a reading record on both crops. Three things did not survive it. The red lamp is not on the roof: it is a bar inside the top of the windscreen, and only the blue lamp is on the roof. The roof is in frame across its width and carries no bar, so the line about the rest of the light bar being outside the picture has gone. And the push bar the page saw under the grille is not there; the dark shape in that place is the bumper's own intake. The correction of 20 September, that a blue lamp burns as well as the red one, stands, with its position put right.
