The Unidentified flatbed truck is a civilian vehicle that was used by some of the settlers on the human colony world of Reach. Noble Team utilized some of these vehicles during the Battle of Reach.

Trivia

• In Halo: Reach, the truck is known to appear in at least two campaign levels, Winter Contingency and Tip of The Spear. Jorge-052 is able to mount his weapon on the frame of the truck, making an improvised Warthog. However, he can only aim forwards and sideways to a small extent. Oddly, the vehicle uses the Warthog tags as its own; when the player approaches closely to the vehicle, a message "Hold X to ride in Warthog" will appear instead of the vehicle's own tag.
• In the front of the truck, there is a V-shaped badge on the bonnet, and a white R printed next to the headlights. The words ACTIVE TRACTION are printed on the side of the truck. Similarly, the words "SPADE" and "INDEPENDENT | WD" are printed on the back of the truck. It is possible, although unconfirmed, that "SPADE" is the name of the vehicle, while INDEPENDENT | WD refers to the way each wheel is powered independently.
• The badge can also be seen as the insignia on the Dodge Ram, with the horns edited to look like spades.
• Despite it being a drivable vehicle, it is not available for Multiplayer or Forge.
• The words TurboGen M96 Methane - Compound Energy are printed on the driver's side, indicating that the vehicle uses compressed natural gas for fuel, in contrast to hydrogen, which is used in the Warthog and Mongoose.
• The truck appears in four different color schemes during the campaign: one in yellow and red, another in a sage color, a third with a navy color scheme, and another one in matte gray.
• On one of Halo Waypoint's another way to campaign video, the truk was called a SPADE
