The M12 Warthog shares parts – and handling characteristics – with the [[Spade]] and its sibling frontier trucks, which means that many recruits are already proficient with basic vehicle maintenance and off-road driving skills before they ever arrive at UNSC boot camp.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial| | The M12 Warthog shares parts – and handling characteristics – with the [[Spade]] and its sibling frontier trucks, which means that many recruits are already proficient with basic vehicle maintenance and off-road driving skills before they ever arrive at UNSC boot camp.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial}} | ||
The base model of the M12 has no doors and has a total seating of two (though additional personnel can be carried in the cargo bed, be it a single gunner or multiple additional riders). The instrumentation package available to the driver or passenger include GPS, navigational assisatance, emergency beaconing and dataports.{{Ref|Id=LootCrate|''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]'', [[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop 18]]}} The Warthog has armor plating covering the vehicle's chassis and the front of the mounted turret capable of resisting conventional heavy machine gun fire and improvised explosive dvices, as well as providing limited protection from Covenant [[plasma]] weapons.{{Ref/Reuse|LootCrate}} The Warthog's armor plating is comprised of ballistic [[polycarbonate]] and [[carbon nanotube]]s, built upon a [[titanium]] frame.{{Ref/Site|Id=H3Stats|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/stats/halo3/CareerStats.aspx?player=Digipatd| | The base model of the M12 has no doors and has a total seating of two (though additional personnel can be carried in the cargo bed, be it a single gunner or multiple additional riders).

The armament of a given Warthog vehicle typically decides its designation, with the most ubiquitous being the [[M41 Vulcan]] chaingun, seen on [[M12 Chaingun Warthog|M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle]] configurations.

Other Warthog variants also exist, one of the more common ones being the [[M831 Troop Transport Warthog]]. Some Warthogs are also created for specialised environments including the [[M862 Arctic Warthog|M862]] and [[M864 Arctic Warthog]]s, [[M868 Tropic Warthog]] and the [[M914 Recovery Vehicle]]. Spartan [[Red Team]] also employed a specialised Warthog, and the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} employed a special Warthog known as the "[[Fireball Warthog]]".{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/unique-unit-fireball-warthog/bp9x3rff66gr| | Other Warthog variants also exist, one of the more common ones being the [[M831 Troop Transport Warthog]].
