Template:Vehicle Infobox The Spade is a civilian flatbed truck manufactured by TurboGen. The latest installment in TurboGen's line of all-terrain transport vehicles, the Spade is a versatile, rugged, and rather affordable vehicle, making it very popular among colonial settlers.[1]
Overview
The Spade is primarily used among heavy-industry workers and farmers who operate in rugged environments; the vehicle is named after the Spadehorn, a bovid indigenous to Reach, which belies the truck's use among farmers.[1]
As its name suggests, the Spade features an independent-wheel drive system, giving it the ability to traverse difficult terrain with relative ease. It is powered by an M96 compound energy methane engine, which is capable of powering the truck for long periods of time in physically demanding locales. The Spade's flatbed can carry large quantities of supplies, and a tow cable is mounted to the front grille, adding to the vehicle's utility. The Spade is available in a wide variety of colors.[1]
