    Local & Early Reservation Holder Interested in Vehicle Product Testing

    Good luck dude. I think there would be huge hurdles to this but never hurts to ask I suppose.

    When can we expect real specs?

    Yeah... When I asked about the Harvester spec/location at the LA Auto Show trying to determine if it was going to be an overcommit by Scout, I was just told "They're still working on it..." Conceptually the EREV sounds awesome. Execution is going to be a struggle.

    Harvester Selection -- use the gas engine to keep the batteries close to fully charged?

    You'll figure it out. Even if you have to pull over for a minute to let the generator do its thing or find an actual charging station... You have double the options that a vehicle with only gas or electric powertrain has.

    Are you still a Scout buyer without $7500 EV tax credit?

    It's not a credit thing for me. It's a context and value thing. In other words, is the vehicle worth it to me? Sure the credit will affect that math, but I don't think (and Scout has said) they were only looking to make a vehicle that was appealing with a $7500 discount. I want an EV or EREV...

    LA Auto Show

    I'm just a jabroni who went for the day. Someone else will have to pick up the torch.

    LA Auto Show

    Hard to say just looking at it but they are big and tall. I could be totally wrong but seemed like a Tahoe but slightly wider, slightly shorter, and taller.

    LA Auto Show

    Vehicles look nice. So nice I'm concerned I won't want to pay for them after I option them how I want. I asked if there was any more info on the Harvester and the guy I asked just said they were still working on it. Box on the back of the traveller is a cooler, they told me. They weren't...

    Scout Traveler with 22" inch wheels & Terra coming to LA Auto Show

    Wheels for both of these vehicles is a miss for me. Colors score big though. It's a pity they keep dressing these with BFGoodrich tires but no white letter sidewalls.

    Manufacturers need to address the following EV Towing scenarios:

    This reflects a problem that scout will have with their branding I think. They are going hardcore off-road but the truth is very few people, I would even say less than 20%, will actually deliberately take their brand new $60,000... Or $70,000 SUV off-road. I won't. So personally I have been...

    Road oriented trim

    So here's the thing. I'm not going to off road this truck. So is there a trim level that is lower suspension and road tires and big wheels? Old Gas Monkey Scout style...?

    Removable Generator

    It wouldn't be impossible to have a smaller generator onboard that extended range... Not maximized range. The premise is that it would be unlikely to be able to maintain SOC during normal driving, but would slow SOC depletion with supplemental energy. So at the start of a trip you could run the...

    Harvester range extender engine is 4-cylinder and built in Mexico

    I just started a thread on this concept. Thought I had a moment of genius but after reading more I see a number of people have brought up a modular/portable/as-needed generator solution.

    Removable Generator

    I - like many of you - have been disappointed with some of the news regarding specs for the Harvester. I want towing capacity, acceleration, ease of maintenance, and *ahem* American made parts in my American vehicle. I also want the frunk. What if there was a Scout OEM generator option that...

    SLATE Truck Debuts! Convertible From Pickup to SUV. Priced Under $20K With Federal Incentive

    Imagine if Scout made a similar approach as Slate with regard to simplicity but maintained the exterior aesthetic and performance spec... And priced them at $30-35k for the BEV and $35-40k for the harvester. They wouldn't be able to keep up with demand.

    New: Scout Winter Testing Video

    I'm sure that Scott is very smart and a nice guy, and I don't mean this as a personal attack whatsoever... But I feel like much of what has been put out lately - to include the Jay Leno appearance - is light propaganda and wringing out the heritage and "Scout people are this way" messaging. I'm...

    SLATE Truck Debuts! Convertible From Pickup to SUV. Priced Under $20K With Federal Incentive

    Honestly, this is a design mentality that I wish Scout would lean more into with respect to tech. It arguably falls more in line with original Scout design philosophy than what the Traveler or Terra have become... I have reservations for all 3.

    Scout Racing

    Anyone know if there are ideas for racing at all? Baja? Hammers? Pikes Peak? Someone CGI us a trophy truck scout! I'd buy "Scout Racing" merch. Even if pretending...

    A Few Capabilities Requests

    My F-150 has a camera on the top rear of the cab near the third brake light for this type of thing. Yes, it is useful.
