Team Knight Rider use five different vehicles for their missions, each with its own computer AI system like the original Knight 2000 vehicle. Unlike KITT, these are specialized units with specific roles in the team. In addition, after the K.R.O. incident, Garland has had each vehicle installed with intentional weaknesses to act as a fail safe in case any of them go rogue. Although armored to protect their occupants, the vehicles do not share the original KITT's nearly indestructible "molecular bonded shell". Bullets can shatter windows or blown open with a small explosive, for example, while body panels can be damaged in collisions and roll-overs. The vehicles deploy their own self-repair system enabling the cars to fix their own minor damage shattered windows and crushed body panels have been shown "fixed" soon after taking damage. More severe impacts however, require body shop maintenance to repair the vehicles.

The Cars in the Team are Named: Danté (DNT-1), is a modified Ford Expedition sport utility vehicle. Domino (DMO-1), is a modified Ford Mustang. Beast (BST-1), is a modified Ford F-150 full-sized pickup truck with off-road capability. Kat (KAT-1) and Plato (PLATO-1), are high-tech motorcycles.

Although only lasting one season, many of Team Knight Rider's components can be seen transplanted into the 2008 attempted update of Knight Rider, including cars that can repair themselves after taking damage, the inclusion of weapons, having an airplane as a launching hangar and having one of the riders be the offspring of Michael Knight. In TKR it was Jenny while in KR2008 it was a man named Mike Tracer.

Kid: Do you have superpowers? Duke DePalma: No.

Dante: This whole TKR program went to hell the day they started making female cars.

Duke DePalma: Nice going, Beast. You really came through for me.
