Youga Custom

The Vapid Youga Custom is a passenger van appearing in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Contract update.

Design

The Youga Custom is a uniquely modified Bravado Youga Classic, with the majority of the design prominently based on the 1969-1974 Ford Econoline cargo van. However, the rear quarter panels and bumper are transplanted from a Declasse Tornado, with the fins extending out past the rear doors of the van. The vehicle design, construction, mission appearance and fate are all a direct homage to the van used in the 1978 Cheech & Chong film, Up in Smoke.

The vehicle appears to be already modified with options similar to the ones available for the base model, being the "Arch Extensions", an enlarged variation of the "Double Exhaust" option, and a variant of the "Sunshade" with angular shapes on the outer edges. The vehicle lacks a front bumper and bears three horizontal separations on the grille, and the inner lamps work as high-beam lamps, which is different from the base model. The badges are reused from said model, albeit lacking the "Classic" text. It also retains the same wheel design as the Youga Classic.

As an LD Organics vehicle, the Youga Custom is wrapped with a livery with the business' logo on each side. According to Lamar Davis, its panels are completely made of marijuana bio-plastic. Thus, the vehicle is only available in a matte/worn green as the primary color.

Locations

Oversights

• Despite being listed as a Vapid-manufactured vehicle, neither the Youga Classic nor Tornado are manufactured by Vapid. This is likely an oversight.
  • Furthermore, the Youga Classic was originally listed as a Vapid vehicle on Southern San Andreas Super Autos website, but was then later corrected in a subsequent patch.
• Players were initially allowed (albeit unintentionally through the use of glitches) to store the Youga Custom as a personal vehicle; however, this was subsequently patched as of The Criminal Enterprises update, where the Youga Custom was blacklisted from player garages. Players who previously had a Youga Custom in their garages had it removed upon logging in.
  • With the San Andreas Mercenaries update, the vehicle was un-blacklisted, and was officially made available in the Expanded & Enhanced version of the game.

Radio Stations

• In Grand Theft Auto Online, the default radio stations are grouped by genre. The Youga Custom uses the "Funk" group which can play:
  • The Lowdown 91.1
  • Space 103.2

Trivia

• In Short Trip - OG Kush, Lamar claims that the Youga Custom is completely made of marijuana bio-plastic. This is most likely intended to be hemp based plastic.
