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"/>

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"/>

==Trivia==

*The Spade was known as the "Pioneer" in early concept art.

*In-game, the Spade uses the Warthog's entity tags. If the player approaches [[Jorge-052]] while he is riding the vehicle, the message ''"Hold X to ride in Warthog"'' will appear instead of the vehicle's own tag. In addition, in the meta-game stats, Halo Waypoint stats, and on ''Bungie.net'', kills with the Spade appear as Warthog kills.

*The logo on the hood is similar to that of the [[wikipedia:Dodge Ram|Dodge Ram]], with the horns modified to look like spades. This logo depicts the vehicle's animal namesake, the [[Spadehorn]].

*Like most civilian vehicles, and unlike the Warthog and the Mongoose, the Spade's horn can be sounded continuously.

*The ~~Spade was known as~~ the "~~Pioneer~~" ~~in early concept art.~~

*The vehicle, along with the [[unidentified civilian transport craft]], made an appearance in the ''[[Halo 4]]'' multiplayer map ''[[Landfall (level)|Landfall]]''.<ref name="landf"/>
