Peterliner

Template:Infobox vehicles The Peterliner is a vehicle in Saints Row, Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third, and Saints Row IV.Broken {{ref}} (outdated style)

Description

Though the acceleration and top speed are not the best, the Peterliner is one of the strongest vehicles in the game due to its mass, torque and hitpoints, so any car that gets in the way will usually end up a flaming wreck.

In Saints Row, the Chop Shop in the Chinatown District is searching for this vehicle.

In Saints Row: The Third, it is a Vehicle Theft target for Grieves.

Performance

Unlike real trucks, the trucks in Saints Row that have two rear axles all have front-wheel drive, and because of this, the wheels will free-spin if slowed on any steep grade. It also suffers from low grip and understeering at slow speed, making it more at home on the highways. In Saints Row: The Third the drivetrain has been fixed, so that the four wheels at the back power the truck, making handling much better and gives the truck good drifting abilities.

Locations

These are most commonly found on highways, but occasionally spawns parked in the Factories and Docks & Warehouses districts. Several can sometimes be found near the warehouse to the north of Spelunkers, in the Black Bottom neighborhood and in the Nuclear Power Plant (but can't be saved there).

In Saints Row: The Third, this truck is rare, but can be found anywhere, usually on Arapice Island.

Peterliners can be seen with different trailers attached while driving around on highways. Types of trailers include:

Tanker with Fuel tanks
Flatbed with Wood Logs
Flatbed with big steel rings
Box trailer with Shipping containers
A rare trailer carrying a rocket
An empty Car Trailer (also rare)

Shipping containers are branded with different company logos, including:

Tw@ broadcasting
Pussy Liqueurs chocolate
Big Package Shipping Co
Eggplant
Stonk Tools

There is no way to attach a trailer. It is not possible to save the trailer with it in a garage, and the vehicle cannot be modified with a trailer attached. Trailers have their own mass and can cause the truck to jackknife when taking corners at high speed.

The trailer can be detached if the Peterliner is hit hard enough or destroyed. If the fuel tank trailer sustains enough damage, it will explode.

Trivia

There is no Cheat Code for this vehicle in Saints Row, Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row IV
The name is a combination of Peterbilt and Freightliner
Depending on the hood selected, the Peterliner will look like either a Freightliner Coronado or a Peterbilt 379.
The Peterliner has a greater chance of rolling in Saints Row 2 than in Saints Row, but a lower chance again in Saints Row: The Third.
In Saints Row: The Third, stored Peterliners can not be taken out of underground Garages due to the tunnel being too low for the Peterliner's exhaust pipes.
