The Smoke on the Water variant of the Brute Pony is a commercial van appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online .
The Pony is a medium-sized civilian and commercial van featured in both the and . It is manufactured by Brute in the HD Universe.
Between GTA III and GTA: Vice City Stories, the Pony is depicted as a generic, medium sized van that has appeared in two different forms:
In GTA III and GTA: Liberty City Stories, the Pony features a modern appearance with a high roof (compared to the lower roof of the Rumpo) and resembles a slightly generic 1992-96 Ford Econoline.
The GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories renditions, however are directed in an older form with a conventionally low roof which makes the van aesthetically similar to Ford vans from the late 1980s and 1990s such as the Ford Econoline, with influences from the 1979 Dodge Tradesman.
In all its portrayals, the Pony is capable of carrying four passengers (two in the front, two in the back), and can be found driving around industrial areas.
Regular Ponies in San Andreas may occasionally appear with stereo systems in their cargo holds. One such Pony is seen during the mission Life's a Beach, where it is used by a DJ for a beach party (see Variants for more details).
In GTA IV, the Pony is manufactured by Brute and is bigger than it used to be. The front resembles a GMC Vandura and a Bedford CF2, while the sides and rear resemble a 1986–1993 Dodge Ram Van. It has tall, narrow taillights, more so than the Ram Van, and its side mirrors seem to closely resemble modern vans, particularly the 1996–present Chevy Express/GMC Savana. The rear also resembles that of the 1995–2005 GMC Safari. Its interior features unique metal bars that separate the cab from the cargo hold. The van may spawn with or without a roof rack as the only available accessory. It can also spawn with boxes loaded in the back.
The Pony comes with various different company names including Sum Yung Gai Chinese Restaurant, U-Benders Plumbing Services, Pizza This and Mr. Wong's Laundrette. There is not a Pony without a company name in GTA IV.
