Tread Assault

:You may be looking for the set.
The Tread Assault was a large roadster used by Cole. It resembles a big black 4x4 vehicle with elements corresponding to Earth. The Tread Assault can be summoned by focusing one's mind on a weapon (in Cole's case, the Scythe of Quakes).
==History==
===Snakebit===
After Wu told the ninja they are capable of using their Golden Weapons as vehicles, Cole summoned the Tread Assault to retrieve the Fangpyre Staff for the anti-venom.
===Never Trust a Snake===
On the Destiny's Bounty, Cole was fixing his Tread Assault.
===Can of Worms===
The ninja rode down on their vehicles (except Kai, who was unable to summon his Blade Cycle due to the Venomari venom) to Ninjago City.
===The Snake King===
When the ninja discovered that Lloyd was missing, the ninja rode on their vehicles, including Cole to Ouroboros.
===The Royal Blacksmiths===
The ninja, including Cole, rode down to Ninjago City to see Cole's Father.
===The Rise of the Great Devourer===
Cole and the others rode on their vehicles to catch up with the Serpentine to try to stop them from getting to Ouroboros. On the truck, Skales went to hypnotize Cole, but he activated his Assault and fired a rocket at Skales, and the other Serpentine fled.
===Day of the Great Devourer===
Cole and the others used their vehicles to evacuate the Destiny's Bounty and again later to travel to Jay's parents' junkyard.

==Trivia==
*This is the only Elemental vehicle that was not remade in the Ninjago: Legacy line.
**The Earth Driller was chosen over this vehicle for the Legacy line because the Earth Driller is more recognizable and the Tread Assault would have had to be more modified from its original design due to the standards being different from those in 2012.https://twitter.com/KnapDK/status/1368958232904036352
*This is the only Elemental vehicle to have a shooter in the Rise of the Snakes sets.
**This changed when Legacy remakes of the Storm Glider and Snowmobile got stud shooters.
*Though not shown in the series, the set has a feature where the vehicle flips over, and on the underside, there are many green-colored bricks to make it look like a snake vehicle if Cole is on an undercover mission or a Fangpyre bit the vehicle.
