Designed and manufactured by [[AMG Transport Dynamics]], the three and half-ton civilian edition of the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|M12 Warthog FAV]] is available in a wide range of colors, trim, and equipment specifications.<ref name="bnet"/> This heavy duty off-road vehicle is extremely popular with off-world explorers. Compared to the military version, this is a luxurious automobile, with trans-system GPS, omni-directional networked surround sound, complete user-specific voice control, a highly efficient long range power cell and the capability to drive itself.

The last revision ([[2549]]) had less power than the [[2553]] model per wheel in terms of horsepower and kilo-wattage. As with every other iteration of the Hog, each wheel has an independent drive-by-wire electric motor, with power generated by a forward-housed low-profile hydrogen I/C plant. The hydrogen fuel is burned at a very high temperature with a synthetic carbon and silicon catalyst to achieve better fuel consumption.

The [[2553]] edition features a [[Graf/Hauptman Solar/Saline Actuator|Graf/Hauptman solar/saline actuator]] capable of converting up to 12 liters of fresh, brackish, or salt water into hydrogen, with increased efficiency allowing the vehicle to get a range of around 200 kilometers after an overnight condensation capture. It has advanced computer systems that allow a perfect distribution of power to every wheel over any surface and is only prone to flipping in hard-bank turns. Thanks to an increased structural rigidity and gas-inflated restraints, this vehicle holds the honor of having the highest passenger safety rating of any recreation vehicles in 2553.

The standard model starts at a hefty 86,000 [[Credit|UN credits]]. A manual-transmission version stickers at cR 81,000, while the limited edition wood-trimmed Classic Edition with winch, tow and luggage rack tops out at a price of cR 91,000.

The [[2556]] model is physically similar to previous models of the Hog. It features a trans-system [[Wikipedia:Global Positioning System|Global Positioning System]], multi-user voice controls, high-quality surround sound system, and the luxurious appeal seen in previous editions of the Hog.<ref name="2556ad"/> Actor [[Jacob Walker‎]] was cast for an advertisement of the model on [[Ganymede]].<ref>'''[[Hunt the Truth]]''', ''Episode 007''</ref>

*The [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|M12 LRV]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' can be made to look like a civilian Warthog through certain [[Turretless vehicle glitch|glitches]]. Something similar is possible in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' by simply spawning a [[Kill Ball]] and a M12 LRV. Just grab the vehicle and move it into the Kill Ball for a second then move it out. The Kill Ball should render the vehicle without a turret, but the stand for the gun shall remain in place whereas in ''Halo 3'', there is no visible evidence it was ever even there.
