 ==Trivia==
-*In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the Spade is known to appear in at least two campaign levels, [[Winter Contingency (level)|Winter Contingency]] and [[Tip of The Spear]]. [[Jorge-052]] is able to mount his weapon on the frame of the truck, making an improvised Warthog. However, he can only aim forwards and sideways to a small extent. Oddly, the vehicle uses the Warthog tags as its own; when the player approaches closely to the vehicle, a message ''"Hold X to ride in Warthog"'' will appear instead of the vehicle's own tag.

-*In the front of the truck, there is a V-shaped badge on the bonnet, and a white R printed next to the headlights. The words ''ACTIVE TRACTION'' are printed on the side of the truck. Similarly, the words ''"SPADE"'' and ''"INDEPENDENT | WD"'' are printed on the back of the truck. It is possible, although unconfirmed, that ''"SPADE"'' is the name of the vehicle, while INDEPENDENT | WD refers to the way each wheel is powered independently.

The words ''TurboGen M96 Methane'' - ''Compound Energy'' are printed on the driver's side, indicating that the vehicle uses compressed natural gas for fuel, in contrast to [[hydrogen]], which is used in the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] and the [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle|Mongoose]].
-*The badge can also be seen as the insignia on the Dodge Ram, with the horns edited to look like spades.
+*The logo on the hood is similar to that of the [[wikipedia:Dodge Ram|Dodge Ram]], with the horns modified to look like spades.
