Third, "The Chariot", was and all-terrain, amphibious tracked vehicle the crew used when they were on a planet. The vehicle was an operational cannibalized version of the Thiokal Snowcat Spryte[1]. The original vehicle was powerful with a Ford 170-cubic-inch inline-6 with 101 horsepower engine. It had a 4-speed automatic transmission including reverse. Test footage filmed of the Chariot for the first season of the series can be seen here on YouTube[2].

Most of the body panels were clear - including the roof and its dome-shaped "gun hatch" - the Chariot also had retractable mylar curtains for privacy. Both a roof rack for luggage and roof mounted solar batteries were accessible by exterior fixed ladders on either side with a centre hatch on top of the vehicle. The roof also had a swivel-mounted, interior controllable searchlight located near each front corner. The Chariot had six bucket seats (three rows of two seats) for passengers. The interior featured a seismograph, a scanner with infrared capability, a radio transceiver, a public address system and a rifle rack that held four laser rifles vertically against the inside of the left rear body panel.
