    Article: VW Doubles Down On Combustion Engines As Scout Costs Spiral Into The Billions

    Throw in a V6 or turbo 4 and watch the reservations go to the moon. The market is speaking, they should listen.

    Scout has 160K Reservations (87% Harvester EREV Hybrid). CEO says first delivery in 2028

    Definitely turbulent times to say the least. RAM dropped it's full EV pickup and is bringing back V8's for pretty much everything, Ford dropped the Lightning, Lamborghini dropped it's EV plans, Honda and Toyota seem to be all in on hybrids. Lots of moving pieces out there. I'd like to see...

    Scout Launch Delayed Until 2028 Summer: Report

    Yes, I think the technology will be better, but will Scout be able to pivot from what they are designing today to integrate the new tech? At some point the tech needs to be "bolted down" so to speak. These cars need to be crash tested and certified probably 1-2 years before production. So...

    Scout gift for reservation holders - Any guesses?

    LOl, yea, after living through Bronco hell, this piece of paper was a bit disappointing. Don't forget the playing cards we also got.

    Battery adaptation by 2028

    This is Fords marketing problem. What you're seeing in China is a Bronco in name only. They did Bronco and Bronco Sport in the US which confused the crap out of everybody, now they have a "Bronco" in China too. Bronco is a body on frame, solid rear axle, transfer case w/low range, available...

    Battery adaptation by 2028

    That’s all AI non-sense. ‘26 Broncos are currently out and on sale now. I’m talking about Bronco, not Bronco Sport or any other China non-Bronco Bronco.

    Scout gift for reservation holders - Any guesses?

    Got my SWAG in yesterday’s mail. Told my granddaughter she’ll probably have her DL before we get an actual car.

    No rumors or talk of that, Bronco is already a very heavy girl.

    Battery adaptation by 2028

    If it's anything like Bronco your reservation number had nothing to do with when you got your vehicle. Ford built what Ford built and if it matched up with an order, you had to convert your reservation to an order, then you got your car. If you never converted your reservation to an order then...

    Article: Why More People Are Ordering The Hybrid Scout Harvester (EREV) Than The Electric One

    I say this all the time, an EV will meet 80% of my needs, my ICE vehicle meets 100%, convince me to switch.

    Battery adaptation by 2028

    That's all fine and good but what is the "later" pack going to look like? Will it be VHS, 8MM, Laser Disk, 8-Track........At some point you would think everyone would get together and decide on some sort of standard, that may happen but it's certainly not the case now. Whatever new fangled...

    Battery adaptation by 2028

    The "good" news is that no manufacturer can foresee what the battery market will be in 3-5 years. Whatever car is on the drawing board now is using current tech to be designed. It's not like Ford can come out in '28 with a radically improved EV, they have to design their '28 model car with '26...

    Yikes, at least Ford sent our Bronco poster SWAG rolled up in a tube.

    Scout Launch Delayed Until 2028 Summer: Report

    Ours was reserved 7/14/20 @ 0832, built 1/11/22, delivered 1/28/22, and murdered on 6/18/25. She was replaced with a '25.

    These people obviously didn’t order a Bronco, LOL.

    Scout Launch Delayed Until 2028 Summer: Report

    I'd rather see him bring this here (it would BURY Grand Cherokee sales and take a HUGE bite out of 4-Runner as well):

    Report: Scout EV Delayed. Only Hybrid Harvester at Launch / Start of Production

    Agree, if they offer an ICE version they could strap a rocket on the number of reservations. That would make it a true competitor in the segment, right now it's a niche version of a body on frame SUV that could be great. What ever battery tech they are planning for right now will be outdated...

    Scout has 150K+ reservations now. 85% are for Harvester EREV Hybrid

    That mirrors what I have seen as well. We stay 10-20ish nights in motels and I always look for chargers, sometimes they have one, most of the time none. I have seen it empty or a car parked there overnight to charge.

    Scout has 150K+ reservations now. 85% are for Harvester EREV Hybrid

    Why is range such a huge topic with EV's? My '25 Bronco has a 16 gallon tank and gets 20 MPG on a good day. I don't care in the least that I can "only" go 300 miles. That 300 though is pretty stable, matters not what ambient conditions are. Sure, extreme cold will hurt it a bit but not drop...
