Enemy Vehicles

It first appeared in the season one episode "Trust Doesn't Rust" and was later brought back in season three's "K.I.T.T. vs. K.A.R.R.".
• Goliath: An armoured black semi-truck designed by Garthe Knight, driven by Garthe Knight, the criminal son of Wilton Knight. Goliath was equipped with a molecular bonded shell, similar to KITT's, making it incredibly durable and a formidable opponent.
