So, you’re cruising around Los Santos as Franklin Clinton and wondering just how many of your prized vehicles you can cram into his garage? You’ve come to the right place! Let’s dive into the definitive answer and all the garage-related details you need to know in Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5), both in Story Mode and the sprawling world of GTA Online.
Franklin’s Garage Capacity: The Definitive Answer
In GTA 5 Story Mode, Franklin has access to two distinct garage locations:
-
His Safehouse Garage: This garage, located at his various safehouses throughout the game, can hold two vehicles.
-
The Purchasable 4-Car Garage: Located in Davis, Los Santos, this garage can hold four vehicles. This garage becomes free after patch 1.16 in the original (PS3/Xbox360) version only.
Therefore, in Story Mode, Franklin can store a total of six cars.
In GTA Online, the garage capacity is a whole different ballgame. You can own multiple properties, each with its own garage space. The number of cars Franklin (or your created character) can store is significantly higher, depending on the properties you own. We’ll delve more into GTA Online garage options later.
Story Mode vs. Online: A Tale of Two Garages
The way you acquire and use garages differs dramatically between Story Mode and GTA Online:
-
Story Mode: Garages are tied to specific characters and safehouses. You unlock them through story progression and by purchasing the 4-car garage. The capacity is fixed and limited.
-
GTA Online: You purchase properties, each with its own garage. The number of properties you can own is limited, but the garage capacity within each property can vary significantly. This allows for much greater vehicle storage.
GTA Online Garage Options: Expanding Your Collection
