Rat Loaders were removed from GTA:Online with the 1.07 update. D:

There is literally no point to removing a cool vehicle from the game. Literally.

Someone on Reddit reckons it's a coding error, and they meant to remove Franklin's Buffalo from garages instead. I'm not sure how accurate a claim that is, but it makes more sense to remove a car you're not meant to get than to remove the most moddable truck in the game.
I've not played GTA:Online since the start of November, but I remember trying to find a Rat Loader for my own garage. I'm almost glad I didn't get one and put my money into making it nice.

It was by far the most customizable vehicle in the game. It was practically the only thing I drove.
The clean version of the Rebel was sadly also removed (I had one of those too!) but thankfully the BF Surfer is still there.

Sorry to break your heart, but apparently that's actually wrong.
As a part of the latest patch, the Rat Loader has been removed from garages. The Rat Loader is classed as a utility vehicle (in the same way that the Tow Truck is), and was not meant to be stored in player garages. Certain models of the Tornado and Karin Rebel have also been removed, as they were Single Player only mission vehicles.
From here . The only mission-exclusive Tornado I can think of is the one from Trevor's side-mission with the Civil Border Patrol. It's the car the mariachi band flee in, if I had to guess. I wasn't aware of any mission-exclusive Rebel but that's probably the rust-free version that has very few modifications in comparison.
Well gee, I sure am glad I can't drive the coolest truck in the game online.
Also, sorry to say but even if the Rat Loader returned I wouldn't expect Rockstar to restore it. People who lost their cars when the game was super-buggy never got them back, so there are probably enough Adders in the black hole beyond the cloud to give one to every man, woman, and dog in Los Santos. Especially the dogs.
LOLBTW : The Rat Loader is classed as 'Muscle' . Not by players, either, but by Rockstar themselves.

Gay! Rockstar. Gay!
I didnt have a Rat Loader (but wanted one) and Just sold my clean Rebel to make some room (glad I got the $ before it disappeared) but what does it really matter Rockstar? If we want to rock out in Rat Loaders or in friggin tow trucks why not let us?

I can understand why they removed the Tow Truck. An exploit with it meant you could freeze people's consoles, kicking them out of the game and forcing them to reboot. As is always the case with these tricks, people complained their consoles were killed by it. I'm glad the Tow Truck is gone, but I cannot fathom why the Rat Loader has gone.
Not the fastest truck in the game.
Not the best handling truck in the game.
Not the most easily found truck in the game.
Bragging rights for those with fully pimped-out Rat Loaders.
Why?

There are better ways to fix a glitch than to just remove it. I am still upset that the 'Audi' Sedan is not available in online. Why go half way with the strongest part of a game?

The Obey Tailgater is in online... it's just very , very hard to find. The typical method of finding one is to go to the golf course car park and jump from lobby to lobby in the hope one appears. Or, if Simeon texts asking for one, you can find it at the beach.
Unless, of course, it has also been removed.

WAIT ARE YOU SERIOUS??? I've been taking regular trips to the Sandy Shores area in various cars/trucks hoping that a clean Rebel will spawn! I even booted a non-clean one out of my garage! SO SAD.
Is there someplace you get this information about carts being removed?

Wow, that's a load of BS.
I wanted to get one of these (even though I've only got 2 spaces left in my garage).
And here I thought the 1.07 update would have only good things.
Speaking of which, I've made 7 races today, if anyone wants to try them out, just let me know.
