Time Stamps:
00:00 - Passing "Test Track" whilst obtaining the EC/EC2 (Exclusive Color and Exclusive Secondary Color) Black Rancher
10:10 - Showing off the EC/EC2 Rancher
This Method will work EXACTLY as shown on PS2, Xbox, PC, Mobile, and Definitive Edition since all of these Platforms/Versions allow the Method shown in the Video.
If you're playing the Definitive Edition on Version 1.02 or below, the Rancher featured in the Mission will be Black as it should be. However, if you're on Version 1.03 or higher, the Rancher will actually spawn in Traffic Default Colors and APPEAR to not be special. If you were to obtain one of these and allow the Garage to close down on it, you'd see something very bizarre take place. The Traffic Default Colored Rancher will be some kind of Bright Neon Green or Hot Pink Color! Both Colors would be EC/EC2, but I'd imagine this is some kind of BUG and this is the side effect caused by it! Even if you obtain the EC/EC2 Rancher on Patch 1.02 and below and have it Black and then update your game to 1.03 and above, the same thing would happen and your EC/EC2 Rancher will not be Black anymore!
Note that the EARLIEST you can obtain the EC/EC2 Rancher would be right at the beginning of the game, however, you can also obtain it as late as after 100% and anywhere in between. It's up to you when you see fit to obtain it at which time. I personally obtain it in the very beginning for a Starter Save.
I am recording this Video on PCSX2 Version 1.6.0. Game Version is SLUS-20552 (Version 1.40) of GTA Vice City for PS2.
