The Jones is a vehicle featured in Midnight Club: Street Racing and are available in three models: the J400, the J420 and the J450. The Jones Pickup trucks are an amalgamation of various early 2000's sport trucks. Most of the inspiration is drawn from the Ford F-150 Lightning. The headlights, grille, and rear end resemble that of a GMC Syclone.
Jones J400[]
The Jones J400 is Larry Muller's first car. The other two vehicles obtainable from the brand in the confrontations with Larry are the Jones J420 by winning the second race and the Jones J450 by winning the third race. It is unlocked by default in arcade mode.
Description[]
The Jones J400 is a Green open bed, light pickup truck with aftermarket skirts installed. It has a black and white flag pattern covering the rear quarter panels, and tailgate. The hood has two manufacturers; Stillen, and GReddy emblazed in black on it, while the doors have Veilside and JUN stamped in white. The rear has GReddy stamped in black under the tailgate
Performance[]
The Jones J400 has a higher top speed compared to the other three New York cars. It's acceleration is average because of its AWD configuration, allowing it to get off the line quicker than most competitors. Its handling is a mixed bag however. Thanks to its AWD configuration, it tends to understeer at high speeds, and at low speeds it's deceptively sharp and direct with its steering. When approaching sharper corners, heavier usage of the handbrake may be needed to successfully negotiate them. It weighs 3224lbs. (1462kgs.) and has a 4-speed transmission.

Acquisition[]

Jones J420[]
The Jones J420 is Larry Muller's second car. The other two vehicles obtainable from the brand in the confrontations with Larry are the Jones J400 by winning the first race and the Jones J450 by winning the third race.
Description[]
The J420 is an Orange sports truck with a Blue and Purple flame paint job. It now gains a bed cover, widened fenders, lower ride height, a chopped roof and now has central dual exhausts instead of the singular right offset of the J400. It switches from an AWD to RWD configuration. New manufacturer decals are applied, with the rear quarter panels gaining a white Stillen and Wings West Logo. The tailgate gains a NEUSPEED logo stamped in black while a Top Secret, and JUN logo are stamped beneath the tailgate.
Performance[]
The most notable performance modification to the J420 is the change in drivetrain. Now sporting a RWD configuration, it trades a decent chunk of acceleration for improvements in both handling and top speed. At high speeds it loses the understeer of the J400, but unfortunately becomes highly unstable, frequently being dragged off the road without steering corrections. Thanks to the lack of weight over the rear wheels, the truck can now slide around much easier, making navigation of sharp corners easier. Top Speed has increased dramatically, gaining 23 miles an hour (37 km/h) over the standard J400 thanks to various aerodynamic tweaks. However it gains an extra 163lbs. (74kg) in weight, now setting it at 3387 lbs. (1536kgs). It also has a 4-speed transmission like its predecessor.

Jones J450[]
The Jones J450 is Larry Muller's third and final car. The other two vehicles obtainable from the brand in the confrontations with Larry are the Jones J400 by winning the first race and the Jones J420 by winning the second race.
Description[]
The J450 has been completely overhauled compared to the J420. The truck has been lowered even further, and gains a massive roof mounted spoiler. A new front bumper and side skirt has been installed along with new 14 spoke wheels. The truck now sports two exhaust on other side of the bumper. The race flag livery returns, now segmented and encompassing 3/4's of the trucks body. The Wings West logo is moved to the spoiler, while now the front is stamped with black Top Secret, and GReddy logos. The bed cover gains a STILLEN logo, and a black Top Secret logo sits underneath the race flag on the tailgate.
Performance[]
The J450 gains an increase in acceleration at a loss of handling, which can be described as a middle of the previous trucks. It also is RWD like the J420, but thanks to the increase in power, is now more prone to loss of traction. Like the J420 understeer is all but eliminated at higher speeds, but thanks to the spoiler, it returns at lower speeds. Despite the increase in power, its top speed is the same as the J420, only improving acceleration as a result, allowing the truck to reach it much faster. To further augment its improved acceleration, the J450 is fitted with 4 nitrous tanks. It has a 4-speed transmission like its predecessors as gains yet another 165lbs. (75kg), making the final weight 3552lbs. (1611kgs.)
