  1. Scout Traveler & Terra: More Info & Closer Looks Published

    Wow that's some swanky design & engineering.
  2. Scout Traveler & Terra: More Info & Closer Looks Published

    "Confirmed"? Seen any specs? I assume this elbows out EREV, but I'm all-in for BEV since we own a hybrid and I just want one.
  3. Scout Traveler & Terra: More Info & Closer Looks Published

    Encouraging to see overt specs w/out spare tire carrier, but would also like to know alternatives to carry spare underneath and/or inside. Also good to know I can avoid a few things I don't need/want - off-road suspension option able to specify 35-inch tires for maximum off-road capability...
  4. Current EV owners: are you sticking with full-EV or switching to EREV Harvester Scout?

    We've got a Grand Highlander hybrid so planning Traveler BEV. FHEV + BEV is a great combo to have in your garage. If we were at just one vehicle, would likely do Traveler EREV.
  5. Preview Images: Scout Experience Center at Production Plant in Blythewood, SC

    Can we expect a large charging station there?
  6. Make the spare tire on the back of the Traveler optional.

    This is the key - skipping the tailgate-blocker isn't as great without an alternative way to carry spare. Even compact spare if necessary to fit underneath.
  7. Make the spare tire on the back of the Traveler optional.

    I don't think we've seen any confirmation from Scout that's its optional, carriage alternatives vs. tire sizes, etc. Just a vague notion of alternatives being considered, etc. And nothing about whether spare can be stored underneath and/or in cargo space. CES display not only had spare on...
  8. Scout Stores / Service Centers ("Scout Studios") plans revealed: 25 will open in 2027, expanding to 100 by 2032

    Does this mean those initial locations will be limited to east & west coasts? And not going north of NY initially, towards Boston?
  9. Spare tire carrier optional on Traveler? Alternative locations for mounting spare tire?

    Great find - love the split tailgate and don't want spare tire in the way. Better underneath or inside. But now that I think about it, shouldn't charging port be on driver's side?
  10. Scout Traveler on-road model

    Not just range - you'll get better snow/slush capability w/ all-weather 3PMSF or true winter tires vs. all-terrain.
  11. Electrochromic Glass Roof Option - Panoramic "Smart Glass"

    I'd take electrochromic if offered, since simpler with no moving/mechanical parts. But I doubt it will be offered. Whether we'd go for steel roof or glass + crude stone age shade mostly depends on headroom consequences.
  12. Scout Traveler on-road model

    I wonder if we'll see entry models w/ less offroad bias for your typical daily driver (the pretenders, including us), then an upgrade path akin to Jeep Trailhawk with more offroad capability. Thinking Scout should start with nothing less than all-weather 3PMSF tires, which are generally better...
  13. Dislikes about your current vehicle that’s offered / solved by the Scout Traveler / Terra?

    Highlight of my 2004 XC90 is split tailgate - current XC90's don't have this. I hope Traveler can carry a spare underneath/internally w/out swinging gate - I want easy access to that split tailgate. Plus shorter front-to-back length in garage to have more room for bikes & stuff. Likely a...
  14. Current EV owners: are you sticking with full-EV or switching to EREV Harvester Scout?

    FWIW - we have a Grand Highlander Hybrid for family road trips. So Dad's next care will be pure EV - no gas, fluids, oil changes, filters, plugs, exhaust, etc. If I need to road trip solo out of EV range (which seems to never happen at present), would swap vehicles w/ wife. I'll assume...
  15. Scout Traveler Colors, Rallye Stripes, Roof Colors - Previews (Wallpaper Size Download)

    Thank you! Only 3 years to decide preference... pending what's offered...
  16. Are you still a Scout buyer without $7500 EV tax credit?

    Honestly I think EV tax credit is as good as dead. We'd need to lease then buyout to get the credit and own, so I suppose there's something to be said for simplicity and not bothering with all that. I figure Scout will start mid/high-$50k, reaching $70k or so for mainstream configurations...
