Overview

The HVY Brickade is a commercial-class vehicle from HVY, massive diesel torque and reinforced chassis for industrial-grade tasks. Drawing clear inspiration from the International DuraStar Armored, it brings bold American automotive muscle to the streets of Vice City.

In Grand Theft Auto VI, vehicle handling and weight have been dramatically overhauled compared to GTA V. The HVY Brickade benefits from heavier physics simulation, realistic roll dynamics, and authentic torque curves designed to reward skilled drivers on both Leonida's open freeways and narrow downtown alleys.

Real-Life Inspiration

In-Game Model

HVY Brickade

Manufactured by HVY in the GTA universe.

Real-World Counterpart

International DuraStar Armored

Produced by International.

The real-world International DuraStar Armored by International serves as the primary design inspiration. GTA 6's interpretation preserves the signature proportions and key design language while applying Rockstar's characteristic satirical modifications to badges, grille patterns, and taillight clusters.

Performance Stats

Powered by a diesel (turbo i6) powertrain delivering competitive performance within the Commercial class. The RWD configuration provides engaging rear-driven dynamics with controllable oversteer. Estimated top speed of 90 mph (est.) places it in the D-Tier (Under 110 mph) bracket.

Customization Options

Rideout Customs support includes performance exhaust, suspension lowering kits, body kits, and custom wheel packages.

Drivers can take the HVY Brickade to Rideout Customs in Vice City for extensive tuning packages, or utilize Pay & Spray locations for fast repaints, chase-breaking resprays, and legitimate vehicle re-registration to prevent police despawns.

How to Get It

Available at commercial vehicle lots or found at construction sites and logistics depots.

Theft & Security Advisory: In GTA 6, car theft utilizes security tiers. High-end modern vehicles require key-cloning tools or the WAINK scanner to disable vehicle immobilizers and police GPS tracking before storage.
