Because in the US we like the thought our cars doing anything. I may get a camper, I may get a boat, I may take that once in a lifetime off road adventure through Colorado and Utah, I may have 4 kids and 3 grandkids and take them all on a cross country road trip, I may need to take 4 co-workers...

So in a nutshell the .gov got involved and it all went to 💩 So they knew it was going to be filled in but they did it too soon so they shut everything down for five months just to prove they were in charge. After five months they said, “Sure go ahead and fill it in because as we all know that...

I’m not here to defend Scout but they’re in kind of a tough spot. How long does it take to build an auto factory from the ground up? They couldn’t really just announce building a new factory and not announce a vehicle. When will the factory be ready to have the first vehicle roll off, couple...

We can only hope, that way it would be a direct competitor to 4 Runner and whatever Nissan is cooking up.

Did I miss something that Scout was going to have a removable top and doors?

I think they got boxed into a corner and had to scramble to come up with something with a gas motor in it. I'll be surprised if an EREV rear engine Scout sees the light of day. They may delay another couple of years and put the engine in the front but I guess we'll have to wait and see. In...

Well said, some decent options out there now and more coming soon. I'm looking forward to seeing what Nissan does and maybe even possibly GMC. I need to replace my '15 Grand Cherokee at some point preferably with a body on frame SUV with 5-6K towing, a true low range transfer case and 33"ish...

The whole charging infrastructure thing may be a moot point. Seems like manufacturers are just adding gas engines in the their EV's and pivoting from plug-in hybrids to hybrids. True EV enthusiasts have homes with charging capability and seem to stay on major thoroughfares when traveling so...

I've been waiting for a long time for GM to offer something like this. Makes no sense they haven't as they have the Colorado/ Canyon chassis.

I'm having an issue with buying solar panels and battery big enough to matter but then I get to charge my car for "free". My neighbor put up panels and I think he said he has a 25 year note on them.

I believe a look at corporate tax rates may shed some light on the question.

Makes sense, this seems like the only way you're going to get charging out there to equal filling stations. Walmart, Target, Lowes, Home Depot, CVS, McDonalds, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, etc. If they all got on the ball and installed chargers you may be able to start making a case that you...

Well maybe there is a chance Ford will offer a full size Bronco Hybrid, it's going to be pushing 6,000 pounds! https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a70920732/ford-bronco-hybrid-ceo-jim-farley-confirmed/

My girls, 33 and 37, are pretty much the same. I love my Bronco as it has a nice screen and it connects to my phone if I want it to but that's about it. All the radio and climate controls are via actual buttons, same with my Grand Cherokee (except for the heated seats and steering wheel...

From the article: "In particular, Chinese buyers have a taste for what are often called “software-defined vehicles.” They are connected and updatable, and essentially allow drivers to do everything through a car they would do through a phone." “The Chinese vehicle owner can do his banking using...

Fixed it for you, In that case your towing audience is MUCH larger. If you're spending $70K plus on a truck it better be able to do truck things even if you never plan on doing those things. In 10 years and 60K miles I've had passengers in the back of my Grand Cherokee maybe 4 times. Should I...

God, I pray there's button to turn all that BS off. Can these people just focus on getting a car out there? Now I know why they're billions over budget.

It’s funny as my youngest SIL, 30 years old, saw the Scout poster SWAG I got and he was like what on earth is that? He had never heard of Scout. He LOVES the looks of it. Then I told him it was EV or EREV, hard pass from him on that. It took me 5 min to explain what an EREV was. He drives a...
