That truck is beautiful, looks like the distant future.

I agree, we buy what we can afford and if that means a 7-9 year loan for a truck that can do anything, totally worth it. (said it irony) I think as parents of gen x we failed to teach the value of money. we know it, but failed to pass on the concept to enough kids. Blame the iPhone upgrade...

4-20 really? A stoners dream of a truck. I guess if we are all stoned we be like:

I just dropped my reservation. 4 years is too long to wait, again.

This is the ID.Buzz all over again.

Scout is working with Rivian Software because they want to do Software defined vehicle. Rivian is electric only and has no experience with ICE. This may be causing the issue (speculation). SDV are really different. Very few physical buttons and those buttons can do multiple things. An ICE...

If you really want the EV charging network to grow, we have get the govt. to outlaw or make home charging more expensive. Force those of us who worked hard to afford a house and an electric car to have to charge outside the home. That way we will level the playing field for the people who...

I understand you pain OP. If I take the wayback machine to when I first started drive, the nearest gas station was 5 miles from home. Yes I have run out of gas multiple times when I was poor. The last time I ran out of gas was driving my wife's car a year or two after we were married, lucky i...

Thanks, always interested in the future tech that is right around the corner.

Scout maybe making the same mistake the other American automakers made, trying to go upscale, adding all the Boomer and X feature. To be fair, we are the largest buying groups and the ones with expendable income. Me excluded from X expendable income. I (and my dog) really just want a bench...

I can't wait to have all the hidden squeaks, rattles and clunks of the trucks of the 70's in my electric truck. Oh yea, the wind noise, maybe they can make the wind sound like I am wearing ear plugs so i can have a conversation in the cab. WTF this sounds like people trying to convince the CEO...

Scout's problem is they want to keep the Frunk as a feature. dump the Frunk, place the engine there, add a little more battery capacity and give it a new sub model or package name called 'towing'. Ford does it. You will have the standard version is X pounds of towing and the 'Tow Package'...

@joewilk45 We work from home, the MPG is for being normal and not driving between states. Just normal around my little town and into the city. 36 mpg for the the ICE engine is about correct. If you never go past 35-40 miles per trip.

The rotary engine is cool, but that seems like vaporware at this time. That company could no produce 200K engines between now and 2029. What about longevity. My Army experience was the tools given to us 18-22 yr olds were not indestructible. Example, when we got the HUMMVV in 1988, the cook...

If you are not retired, 90%+ of the time you should be able to get by with a 35-40 mile battery. I am talking the normal Jane/Joe. 12k commute a year. I think the main reason EV Pickups failed is the towing/hauling range. 350 mile battery, towing gives you 100 miles. then you fast charge to...
