The first generation Gallivanter Baller is a 4-door full-size SUV appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Influence[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The first generation Baller's design is an adaptation of the Huntley from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It is mostly based on the L322 Range Rover, with elements from the facelifted L320 Range Rover Sport. However, it features a different and less luxurious appearance, such as the front fascia similar to that of General Motors' GMT400 model series, while the rear fascia, including the tail light shape, was derived from the fourth generation Ford Explorer (U251).
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Baller has a prominent front bumper spanning the width of the car, with a trapezium-shaped intake bearing a black separation on the middle and a chrome underline. The outer edges of the bumper have circular fog lamps, together with black underlines below the lamps and thin ridges over the same, at the same height as the intake. The upper side is mostly plain with the license plate on the centre. The upper area of the car bears a chrome surrounding, housing the main grille on the centre and the headlamp units on the edges. Each lamp unit and turning signal is separated by chrome lines, with a wider line between the upper and lower lamps. The grille itself has a wide bar on the middle and two thinner ones between the main headlamps. Above the chrome surrounding, a silver "GALLIVANTER" lettering can be seen embossed on the front part of the bonnet.
On the sides, twin square-shaped vents are present on either front quarter, between the wheel arches and the front doors, close to the bonnet level. A ridged detail can be seen between the front and rear arches, along with a less-notorious ridged detail at the same level as the lamp units and door handles. Small stepsides can be seen at the bottom, as well as black mudguards. The cabin area is much angled than the Huntley and features black, polymer-covered A, B, C and D pillars.
On the rear end, the bumper features a concave formation with the same "GALLIVANTER" lettering embossed on the centre, featuring a black polymer finish at the bottom and small mouldings for the twin exhaust pipes. A trapezium formation can be seen on the centre of the rear hatch, serving as a space for the license plate and having a chrome detail on the upper side. the tail lamps are located in black housings, with a thin red strip for the third brake light.
The car is only painted in a primary colour for the body and the interior stitching. The car has eight-spoke rims, wrapped in low-profile tyres.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The first generation Baller is quite slow and heavy, and has a wide turning radius. Acceleration is average, reaching from 0-60 in about 8 seconds, however, like every Land Rover, the Baller is capable of climbing steep hills and has a decent performance when off-roading. Another advantage is durability, it is easily one of the most durable cars in the game. The vehicle is prone to understeer at high speeds, likely due to poor weight distribution.

- The worn blue silver Baller features a body color that is not available at mod shops. It can also spawn with the aforementioned matte grey pearlescent color, or with a worn green hue. However, this Baller spawns locked, so in order to acquire it, the player needs to fire a gun into the showroom to fail the mission, and then use a tow truck to tow the Baller into a garage to unlock it.
