If the “loaded” version of the Traveler is $90k+ it’s going to price out a majority of customers.
Im guessing it will be similar to Range Rover. Sure you can get one for 110k but the one you see in the magazine is closer to 225k.

So 60K for base, 110-120 for what you saw.

Aren't the $51,000 base prices actually $60,000 prices minus the $7500 alleged tax credit? I think it's more accurate to say the base pricing is $60,000.
Yah, thats assuming we even have an EV credit on the table in 2 or 3 years when these release.

Unless they're pricing in projected lithium prices falling or other efficiencies, I'd be surprised if the top trim isn't at least $80k. Even that is pushing it, Rivian started there and almost immediately needed to raise prices. The biggest cost is batteries which will likely come down in a couple of years but the tech that sits on top still isn't cheap. They're getting the zonal architecture from Rivian and likely a lot of other IP which might help Scout start at a better profitability than Rivian. But I don't see how Scout does all this and undercuts Rivian's starting price...using their tech.

It will be interesting to see what the base price they come out with. I am afraid it will be a bate and switch when final pricing comes out.. Will see a lot of the reservations get cancelled. I am hoping they will keep it in this price range.

Personally, I don’t think it will be a bait and switch. I feel like they will try to stick to prices announced as much as they can, but as many said…that will be super standard. If you want anything close to what we’ve seen so far you’re gonna be paying at least 80K and above. I don’t understand why people would think the concepts we’ve seen would be anywhere near base cost.

Dont be surprised if lower priced models aren't available right away. Any manufacturer is going to prioritize limited resources towards higher margin products until the demand has been met.

100% correct.

Ford Lightning was released in 2022 with the Lariat and Platinum trims first and foremost.

Very few could get their hands on the base Pro or XLT trims.

I had to get a Lariat trim even though I didn't want all those bells and whistles.

Originally wanted the $39K base Pro but that price went up after the 2022 MY.

Only speaking for myself here, but the interior is the one thing about the concepts that turn me off.

I use my trucks for work and doing dirty things. I don't want any fabric, anything white or tan, no fancy wood, no high gloss paint, not any of that.

a mid 50's work truck that can haul 2k, tow 10, is easy to clean out, little maintenance, is all I'm after here.

I have no need for the Harvester option and know it, but they'll sell a zillion of these to middle America if they can get a base model with Harvester out the door for under 60.
