Switching cars between characters in GTA 5 can seem impossible, but there’s a clever glitch that lets you transfer vehicles effortlessly. This guide will walk you through a simple yet effective method to get any car you want for Trevor, Franklin, or Michael. Follow these steps to expand your garage across all characters.
Step-by-Step Guide to the GTA 5 Car Switch Glitch
To perform this glitch, you’ll need to use two characters and visit a location accessible to both. The impound is an ideal spot due to its central location and ease of access.
Step 1: Prepare Character 1 (Trevor)
Start by playing as the character who currently owns the car you want to transfer. For this example, we’ll use Trevor (T). Drive the desired car to a convenient location, like the impound.
Step 2: Immobilize Character 1’s Car
At the chosen location, strategically park Trevor’s car to get it stuck. The goal is to prevent it from moving forward but still allow reversing. A good technique is to wedge the car inside the impound’s green-lit garage, pushing it into a corner or against a wall. Crucially, keep Trevor inside the car.
Step 3: Switch to Character 2 (Franklin)
Now, switch to the character who you want to receive the car. In this case, we’ll switch to Franklin (F). Get in another vehicle and drive to the impound.
Step 4: Block Character 2’s Vehicle
Once at the impound with Franklin, use his vehicle to block the entrance or against a wall outside the garage. The aim is to create a situation where Franklin’s car is also somewhat stuck as he attempts to drive forward.
Step 5: Switch Back and Retrieve Car
Immediately switch back to Trevor (T). Now, maneuver Trevor’s car out of its stuck position and drive it out of the impound area. Park it in a nearby parking spot, but not directly next to Franklin’s blocked car.
Step 6: Secure Your New Ride
Exit Trevor’s car and quickly get into another vehicle with Trevor. This step is vital: if Trevor re-enters the car you want to transfer, he will drive away with it, negating the glitch. As soon as Trevor is in a different car, switch back to Franklin (F). You’ll find the car you wanted to transfer now available for Franklin to take.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You’ve successfully used the GTA 5 car switch glitch. To ensure you don’t lose your newly acquired vehicle, immediately save your game. This glitch is a fantastic way to customize each character’s vehicle collection and enjoy your favorite cars across all of GTA 5.
