The Dash Rancher is a two-door, two-seat SUV that handles like a sports car and goes off road with ease. It is a rare, quick and agile vehicle that runs on the most common parts.

The Rancher is a Standard vehicle with two seats. Its engine is the strongest among the Standard cars, and it has a short wheelbase, four-wheel drive and very high suspension. Together these make it nimble on the road and confident across fields and forest tracks. The high body also protects the gas tank, muffler and suspension from damage on rough ground.

The weak points are cargo space, noise and crash safety. The trunk is tiny, the engine is loud for a car, and the people inside are poorly shielded in a crash. Its quick steering can also turn into a spin on narrow dirt roads.

The Rancher suits a skilled solo driver who scouts the countryside or lures zombies away from a base. In practice, it works like a sports car that takes cheap, easy-to-find parts.

Driving the Dash Rancher

The Rancher is quick. Its strong engine and four-wheel drive give it fast acceleration, and its top speed is good for an off-road vehicle. The short wheelbase makes it react sharply to the wheel.

That sharpness cuts both ways. On narrow forest roads, the Rancher can oversteer and crash with little warning. A light touch on the steering keeps it on track.

Off the road, the Rancher is one of the best vehicles in the game. Its high suspension and four-wheel drive let it cross grass, dirt and fields at speed. The parts underneath stay safe from damage on unpaved ground.

The brakes are strong for its size. It stops quickly, which helps on twisting tracks.

The engine is loud for a car, as loud as the Chevalier Cossette. It draws attention in towns, so it serves better as a lure than a stealth car. A performance muffler helps.

Crash protection is weak. The people inside take more harm in a collision than in a family car, so ramming zombies is a poor idea.

Dash Rancher Storage

The trunk is small, tied with the Chevalier Dart and the Masterson Horizon among the smallest. The passenger seat can hold a few items when empty. A small glove box holds keys and a few small items.

The Rancher is a vehicle for light trips. It suits scouting, short supply runs and quick escapes. A big haul needs a truck or a van.

Dash Rancher Parts

The Rancher takes Standard vehicle parts in every slot. Tires, brakes, suspension, gas tank, muffler, battery, doors and windows all match the common family cars. That makes upkeep easy, since wrecked sedans everywhere carry the right parts.

Repairing the engine takes a middling Mechanics level, the same as other Standard cars.

Tires take the most punishment, since the Rancher spends so much time off the road. Brakes come next. Old, regular and performance grades exist for tires, brakes and mufflers. Performance tires improve its grip on rough ground. The gas tank comes in small, regular and big sizes. The radio slot takes a car radio.

Every part slot of the Dash Rancher, the parts it takes for a Standard vehicle and the Mechanics level needed to fit them.

Dash Rancher Versions

The Rancher appears as a plain civilian SUV. Burnt shells turn up on wrecked roadsides. Wrecked Dash Rancher shells, smashed at the front, rear or one side, also appear. Their Standard parts fit many other cars.

Every version of the Dash Rancher with its own spawn command. Burnt and wrecked shells cannot be driven but still hold parts.
