The ''' | 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.<ref name="EVG"/> | ||
==Overview== | == 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.<ref name="EVG"/> It is also used by civilians on [[Tribute]].<ref name="landf">'''Halo 4''', multiplayer map ''[[Landfall (level)|Landfall]]''</ref> | |||
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.<ref name="EVG"/> | |||
