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...

Just made my reservation and now it will be a 2028 truck, sorry, that was me, I pushed them over the limit.:CWL:

The overall specs (WB, width, height) are fantastic. Almost the perfect size for an off road truck. The new Toyota LC, I would say has the perfect specs. This is so close it may not matter.

This is going to be bad for Scout Motors/VW Group if they cannot get there act together. Not saying a Maverick is in the same class as the Harvester, i am saying it may make it look very expensive (depending on release price). I was also wondering if the new battery technology was going to...

I wonder if it has anything to do with changing battery technology. I am not a fan of Rivian, the R2 looks interesting as an all electric option. Ford, if they can price point it correctly and reign in the stealerships, they may have a chance to dominate the sector. Relegating Scout to a...

I do like the battery swap, I would do it when my battery starts to fail and get a better one.

I am not sad about the smaller (lighter weight truck) battery. We have a Volvo XC90 Recharge plug-in hybrid with 32 mile battery and for the most part we get 900-1000 miles out of our 18ish gallon tank. Mostly it is trips to the grocery, into the City (21 miles) or the burbs (23 miles). We...
