The "'''Hog'''" is the [[civilian]] version of the ubiquitous [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|M12 Warthog FAV]] utilized by the [[United Nations Space Command]].<ref name="cnet"/>

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. 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; an [[acoustic dampening field]] to cancel out road and engine noises; complete user-specific voice control; a highly efficient, long-range power cell; and the capability to drive itself.<ref name="cnet"/>

The [[2549]] model 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.<ref name="cnet"/>

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.<ref name="cnet"/>

The standard model starts at a hefty 86,000 [[Credit|UEG credits]]. This model had [[RJM 36" 7c rims]].<ref name="JSH2S1Hog"/>

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.<ref name="cnet"/>

The [[2556]] model changes the body of the hog to a new chassis. 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 [[Paul Gustafson‎]] was cast for an advertisement of the model on [[Ganymede]].<ref>'''[[Hunt the Truth]]''', ''Episode 007''</ref>

The [[2558]] model has a few minor changes in design compared to previous models, including railings around the vehicle.<ref name="H5G hog"/>

*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 an 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.
