$75k still Really limits the market. But they'll probably make less than 20k trucks a year anyway.

The Volt was a great vehicle that Chevy bungled with a lack of marketing and dealers that had no interest in selling them. It will be interesting to see if Dodge can convince customers to buy and dealers to sell their EVs. Jeep has been doing well with the phev Wrangler, but I think that...

The only issue comes down to demand forecasting. They've stated that most reservations are for the harvester versions so if they plan for that production mix but then people end up ordering differently, it's going to cause issues. Probably mostly in delayed delivery. It will be interesting to...

Will Stellantis be around, who knows, but I believe there's enough brand equity/ loyalty for both Dodge/Ram trucks and also Jeep that those brands aren't disappearing anytime soon. If Stellantis sells them off, someone will buy them. It's honestly a bigger risk long term betting on Scout...

The lower tow rating is probably mostly due to cooling needs. The ice powerplant is going to be tucked away underneath the vehicle where there's not a large open grill to have huge airflow over a radiator. Taking the Jeep Wrangler as an example, Jeep didn't change the motor/transmission/brakes...

I don't think they'll publish a separate rating based on drive mode. From a consumer perspective that would be terribly confusing. I hook up an 8k lbs trailer and now my 150 mile range dips to around 80 miles. I head out on my 75 mile trip but close to the end I'm running out of range and the...

A pickup is shaped like a pickup and an SUV is shaped like an suv.... no surprises there. However, I don't think there's any mistaking a Rivian for a Scout when you look at the front/rear of the vehicle.

Should be fine. Look at Jeep and Land Rover for examples. They both offer a similar top option

Me too. This is a feature that gets my wife on board with the cost of a new vehicle 🤣 I'm hoping they'll have it on both but I'm not holding my breath for it on the Terra.

The good news is that VW air suspension is generally more reliable than the Land Rover version. It's not a surprise that it won't be on lower trims. They've got to cut out something to make that under $50k price point.

Give it whatever Geely/Zeeker is using in their 'Golden' battery. However we don't really have the charging infrastructure to support it.

It doesn't really matter because in a vehicle that quick, how often are you going to be using it on the road? Sure in my Prius with 100 HP and a 0-60 of around 11 seconds, I'm often petal to the metal when I'm trying to merge into the freeway, but something 3x quicker, you're going to be...

Personally, I feel like 4.5 seconds is extremely quick for a large truck like this. It's way faster than people need to be driving on public roads. Most drivers lack the skill to handle a vehicle with that speed. Just look at all the videos of the chuckleheads leaving cars and coffee meets. 3...

I'd imagine that the base models are going to come with road tires and the upper trims or options packages will have the off road tires, just like a wrangler or bronco or even the Rivian vehicles. However the vehicle sizes... According to the dimensions shown in the website, these are both...

Just to add to conversation, they did make it clear that this is a 'concept vehicle' so there's probably a good amount of interior changes that will be made by the time they get to production. Don't count on any of the colors/materials being available. Also, my own personal preference, I would...

This has already been figured out by multiple manufacturers. If the Scout legal team hasn't already sorted it all out, they are probably working on it. And I'd imagine they can consult the Rivian legal team for advice. I know Rivians are being sold to owners in Texas so they've certainly figured...

As has been said, this is going to be highly dependent on the individual trailer. However, I would expect roughly the same percentage drop as you see in an ice vehicle of the same dimensions. So if you're towing with a full-size SUV or half ton pickup, then figure out what percentage decrease...

Which is roughly half the normal efficiency/range, correct?

A quick Google search turns up a list of lobbying groups. It would be up to you to look into the activities of each group and decide which one you want to support. Another good action is to call your congressional representatives and voice your position on issues.

Doubt it. It will take them long enough to ramp and build out the showroom/service network in the USA. There's not a huge demand for F150 and Tahoe sized vehicles in Europe.
