"Scout" Warthog vehicles could be considered the "default" state of Warthogs, with their primary difference from other variants being their lack of any discernible armament. Removing the primary weapon from the M12 FAV is typically a simple and straightforward operation<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Woodland Scout Warthog REQ description]]''</ref>, allowing for weapons to be removed as seen fit and the bed of the vehicle used for cargo and/ or personnel transportation. When used to transport personnel, a Scout Warthog is capable of supporting at least five people.<ref name="CH19"/><ref group="note">In ''Halo: Contact Harvest'', Johnson is noted as boarding a flatbed Warthog with Dass, Jenkins, Forsell and "the rest of" the members of One-Alpha Squad. Given that One-Alpha has four known members, this means at least five people were aboard the vehicle at this time.</ref>

In ''Halo 3'', Flatbed Warthogs primarily appear on the map [[The Pit]] alongside several [[M831 Warthog]]s, outside of the playable area of the level. Both of the scout Warthogs on the map are slightly damaged. Regular Warthogs can be "converted" into flatbeds through the use of the [[turretless vehicle glitch]].
