So, you're telling me you want to cruise through Yara in style and with firepower? Well, my friend, you've come to the right place. As a seasoned guerrilla who's spent more time behind the wheel than behind a rifle (almost), let me tell you that summoning your own personalized, weaponized vehicle is the single best quality-of-life feature in Far Cry 6. Who needs fast travel when you can roar down the highway in a tricked-out death machine, blasting revolutionary tunes and Anton's goons in equal measure? The map is huge, and having your own ride on tap isn't just convenient—it's a game-changer.

Think about it: why waste time hijacking a random, rusty jalopy when you can call in your own armored beast, customized to your exact chaotic specifications? These "Rides" are more than just taxis; they're mobile arsenals and your personal statement against Castillo's regime. And the best part? Hunting them all down nets you a sweet little achievement called 'Car Cry.' Worth it? Absolutely. Let's get into the garage and talk shop.
The Four Rides of the Apocalypse (Yaran Edition)
There are four unique Ride models you can add to your personal fleet. Once you find them, they're yours forever, summonable from any road with a press of a button. Here’s the breakdown, from your starter car to your late-game monster truck.
1. The Starter Classic: 1956 Beaumont Valentina
This beauty is your introduction to the world of Rides. You get it automatically during the "Fuel the Revolution" mission. Don't let its vintage looks fool you. This thing has:
-
Speed to burn and a tight turning circle (perfect for those narrow mountain roads).
-
Built-in rotating turrets right from the get-go. Talk about hitting the ground running!
It's your reliable companion for the early game. A classic with teeth.
2. The Parkour Pickup: 1985 Tokai Sabuku
Need more firepower? This heavily modded pickup truck has you covered with its own turret. But it's not handed to you. Oh no, you have to work for this one.
-
Location: FND Storage Facility in Catalina Ridge (La Joya, El Este region).
-
The Catch: You can't just waltz in. You'll need to channel your inner freerunner, scaling the building and entering through a second-floor window. A bit of parkour never hurt anyone, right? It's a mid-to-late game prize, but once you have it, it's a trusty workhorse.
3. The Powerful Prize: 2008 Kag TG (Yami's Jeep)
This is where things get serious. Want to trade up from the Sabuku? Meet Yami's Jeep.
-
How to get it: Head to Yami's Chop Shop in northern Costa del Mar. Talk to Yami. She'll send you on a quest to the FND Tank Training Grounds in Aguas Lindas to rescue her beloved jeep from the army.
-
Mission: Secure the base, retrieve the jeep. Once you bring it back, Yami, in a fit of gratitude (or perhaps just wanting a cleaner garage), lets you keep it. Permanently. It's a beast.

4. The Early-Bird Racer: 1962 Verrazzano Bravo
Fancy something sleek and fast that you can get without a major firefight? This is your ride.
-
Unlock Method: Simply win any Gran Premio race. That's it!
-
The Verdict: It's arguably the best-looking car in the game—a real head-turner. But here's the trade-off: it's not built for war. It's your go-to for speedy, stylish travel across Yara, but if you're rolling up on a heavily fortified checkpoint, you might want to call in something with more... persuasive arguments mounted on the hood.
Why Bother? The Real Benefits of Your Personal Fleet
You might be thinking, "I can just steal any car." Sure, you can. But can you customize a stolen car with mounted machine guns, missile launchers, and a dazzling pink panther paint job? I thought not. Here’s why your Rides are essential:
-
Customization King: This is the big one. You can mod these vehicles with weapons and cosmetics at any workbench. Want a rocket pod on your Valentina? Done. Desire a shimmering chrome Sabuku? You got it.
-
Instant Summon: Stuck in the middle of nowhere? Need a quick escape? Summon your Ride to the nearest road. It's like guerrilla Uber, but with more explosions.
-
Combat Ready: Between unlocking fast travel points, these vehicles give you the pace and power to hunt for upgrade materials and unique weapons efficiently. Why run from a tank when you can drive one (metaphorically speaking)?
My Personal Garage Recommendations
Based on countless hours of causing mayhem, here’s how I rank them:
| Ride Model | Best For | Combat Rating | Unlock Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 Kag TG | All-out assault & late-game chaos | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (A+) | Medium (Quest-based) |
| 1956 Beaumont Valentina | Balanced early-game travel & fight | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (B+) | Very Easy (Story-given) |
| 1985 Tokai Sabuku | Mid-game firepower & utility | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (B+) | Medium (Requires exploration) |
| 1962 Verrazzano Bravo | Speed runs & looking cool | ⭐⭐ (C) | Easy (Win one race) |
So, what are you waiting for? Yara isn't going to liberate itself! Get out there, find these rides, and paint the streets... well, you get the idea. Remember, in 2025, a true guerrilla's best friend isn't just their supremo—it's their fully-loaded, summonable, turbo-charged metal horse. Happy driving (and shooting)! 🚗💥
