I disagree with the "towing only" statement - EREV's will also appeal to folks with camping or 4-wheeling lifestyles, where plugging in won't be readily available yet still needing the ability to generate (pun intended) power to move or otherwise. I agree there will be lots more competition, and...

I'm still holding out for Scout, but part of that last article disturbed me a bit: " Because the software alliance with the US start-up Rivian has not yet delivered what Scout needs, Volkswagen's own, itself crisis-ridden, development unit Cariad has to step in." First - VW's partially paid...

Yup just saw this as well, which means DTC sales won't happen and dealers get their fingers in the pie; i.e. higher prices for the vehicles because "you need our special anti-rust under-armor coating that can't be removed from the price" :angry:

Speaking of "special emails from Scout" - I just received the "Notes from the Field" email with all sorts of cool links about peeps with Scouts (community), an old Road Heritage book and some info on the current Scouts (spoiler: nothing new). Seems the CRM system is working if that's their...

Standard architectures, which is what Rivian software requires, to be applied to custom VW "features" are not going to be compatible. VW has to make concessions to leverage standards with modifications to the standards to be applied to their systems. The problem with that is revamping VW...

Pretty amazing to watch them reshape our world - literally! Interesting they lay down dirt 1' at a time to make sure it stays in place, "only 100 ft to go!" :oops:

Scout is "scouting" for new sounds to bring to its new rides. https://www.carscoops.com/2025/12/scouts-terra-and-traveler-want-to-sound-like-no-other-ev/

While it may look better, the axles, bearings, brakes and other components need to be able to handle moving that extra weight around. In other words they need to build it from the factory with those specs in mind vs. putting them on as an after-thought. Has anyone tried changing a 37 in the...

Am hoping that Scout is smart enough to allow customers to add individual options/components vs. forcing "packages" on us. There was a similar thread elsewhere, but just ranting...

I'm hopeful too @PMurphy ! The self-service aspect is highly appealing and why I drove around and '09 jeep vs. 2024 jeep. Too many electronics to break, plus Stellantis has shit the bed in terms of durability and support. Now I know the new Scout is going to have a shit-ton of EV-related things...

22's seem a bit much IMO, but I do like that Traveler color! I'll stick with a 17"/35" wheel/tire combo any day for some wheelin! For those that do make it snap some photos if you see any new details!

First off: I'm no suspension expert so below is my opinion based on current knowledge of my jeep and 4 wheeling. First a quick Google/AI search can tell you all of the technical differences between these two components so no need to dive into that, but I feel it boils down to 2 things: 1...

Awesome they're doing marketing like this, similar to the Scout "Back to Baja" video. Drum up that energy for scout!

OR Scouts just sending out random emails luring us into thinking we're getting exclusive access, denies us, then sees who posts on the forums about it :oops:

I got the invite, however after filling out the survey I didn't meet their requirements. Guess I'm just not diverse enough... More details: this was an "exclusive" offer to some registrants or forum members, not sure how they chose their criteria for making the offer, but clearly they have my...
