The '''Independent Wheel Drive Spade''' is a [[civilian]] [[Civilian vehicles|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. the vehicle is named after the [[Spadehorn]], a bovid indigenous to [[Reach]], which belies the truck's use among farmers.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} | The '''Independent Wheel Drive Spade''' is a [[civilian]] [[Civilian vehicles|flatbed truck]] manufactured by [[TurboGen]].

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 methane engine]] which uses compound energy, 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/Reuse|EVG}} | As its name suggests, the Spade features an independent-wheel drive system, giving it the ability to traverse difficult terrain with relative ease.

The Spade is designed for operations on rugged colonial worlds that possess only minimal infrastructure. The Spade and its sibling frontier trucks share parts – and handling characteristics – with the ubiquitous [[M12 Warthog]], which meant that many recruits were already proficient with basic vehicle maintenance and off-road driving skills before they ever arrive at UNSC boot camp.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial|D=10|M=5|Y=2021}} | The Spade is designed for operations on rugged colonial worlds that possess only minimal infrastructure.

The Spade is a usable vehicle on the ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. First appearing in the level ''[[Winter Contingency]]''. It functions identically to a gun-less Warthog, although with [[Jorge-052]] on the team, he will use his [[M247H Heavy Machine Gun]] as a makeshift turret. | The Spade is a usable vehicle on the ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.
