If I ordered the pick up, I would have 2 spares mounted just in front of the rear wheel wells.

I agree, and Frankly this is using the press for Free advertising……….and since it’s not BAD publicity, its getting the brand name out, as we can reasonably presume VW Auto Group will have the best legal representation nearly anywhere. after all Scout would be better suited with Audi or...

Candidly between Midas, and Firestone complete auto care, there is essentially one in every city, well over 1,700 locations…..I am surprised that I haven’t heard a whisper of either trying to get ahead of this with Rivian, and certainly by the time Scout’s are part of regular traffic.

Well some good initial data. Mirrors are an easy aftermarket fix that can be functional at even 4” if aspheric mirrors are used. More importantly with all the cameras and Birds Eye view…..it can make navigating tight spaces easy. Realistically, if I can see with cameras to park, I can get...

The good news is that while many off road wheels are heavy, if installed as they are unsprung weight, they could be packed up in a truck bed, as static weight with nearly no change to range then swapped before hitting trails.

I appreciate you, I am sure that It will be a better experience than an Uber?. I don’t speculate being “overwhelmed” by requests, as it’s only the enthusiasts here, who are the ones I want to reach and meet anyway. I ordered my Scout on the 26th of October, and ideally, I would pick people up...

I agree that a larger and naturally aspirated engine “should” go into a Scout. While turbo/super charging will almost certainly have a greater energy output if it’s hot…..regardless of intercooler. My prediction is that the VW juggernaut has a proven design in the arsenal, but the naturally...

I feel pretty confident that the range will under-promise (in a good way), yet OVERdeliver. That is my thought about how they will reach range goals. There of course is a lot of engineering involved, and I believe part of the reason we don’t have HP numbers, but we have TQ numbers. Range...

Hey folks, I can pick up anyone who needs transportation from Columbia Metropolitan Airport to the Scout Blythewood, SC site FOR FREE. Obviously, if I have a competing obligation I would let you know. Being that I am a retired US Army Soldier, I mostly do volunteer work for things that are...

Well we know the software will be Rivian software, but how encompassing will that be? Does anyone know if that only is for navigation? As the harvester will be a gas (or diesel) so will that have its own ECU, that is separate and distinct from other elements supplied by Rivian? Ultimately...

That is something a number of vehicle manufacturers have done before. It’s just a matter of how important that the Harvester and the rest of Scout be sourced from the claimed 200 miles (IIRC) from Blythewood, SC. It’s probable that the main battery won’t be made in Blythewood, SC…..and that is...

Remember it’s body on frame. So with 2 galvanized steel frames protruding well past the gas tank (it looks like the fuel cell is under the driver/passenger) along with a stout front bumper, it’s well protected. There are some European vehicles with far less protection…..most Porsche 911’s have...

Well there are Volvo and BMW vehicle manufacturing facilities close to Blythewood, South Carolina. I am unfamiliar what displacement they have, and while turbocharcing is efficient, I am unsure if the added heat is something engineers want.......I don't know, but neither does anyone else? In...

While information isn't posted yet where the battery will be sourced from, I have a feeling that it will be the most "proven", yet cost effective one available by 2027.

Great point, and the aftermarket could go even further depending on how fringe someone is. I remember installing bulletproof kevlar floors onto helicopters in Iraq circa 2005, the small amout of weight it added likely proved valuable, and I am sure 20 years later......kevlar is still expensive...

BRILLIANT idea, with the air compressor ALREADY built in, cost neutrality could potentially be already here. It is something that can be rather quick......especially for letting air out and parking, and its not as though the Scout would look like a lowrider even at its lowest setting if...

It’s not a “reach” to think that you could. it’s probably the best bang for the buck automotive product besides wheels and tires.

Neither are mutually exclusive. I peeled back the onion enough to see why Scout “closed” in 1980. It was because it failed to appeal to ladies. Thinking of my mom, and even slightly disabled folks…..that is a strong amount of customers. Both can be addressed, but failing to address the female...

Makes sense to me, there is always “Not in my backyard syndrome”. The biggest aspect I am optimistic of is the secondary, and tertiary jobs that support the employees and families of that 4,000 positions. Strong strategy for the Wagoneer S, I normally would never buy a 1st year production...

Winches are already a sure shot, but let’s not forget the reason the original Scout died…….it didn’t advertise or appeal to women. With the average female height about 5’3”…..I am not posting anything to be incendiary, but let’s really look how many women, men, and disabled will be distanced...
