  1. 4-Cylinder Harvester EREV engine confirmed by CEO Scott! + 0-60mph, range, payload, towing specs discussions

    I want a Terra Harvester, but I'm going to wait and see what actually rolls off the production line. I'm skeptical that they can accomplish what they want to achieve without putting the generator up front. I would prefer it there, instead of stuffed underneath.
  2. Terra: bed cover?

    I have a RSI Smartcap on my Jeep. I'm hoping for something similar. I'm waiting to see what happens. I'll be looking at a new truck around the time these start to roll off the line.
  3. Terra - 10 Pleas and Desired Options

    He stated where they want to put it, and what they plan to do. There have been no official statements from Scout to confirm what will actually happen. They are not far enough into the production and design process, yet, to confirm any of that.
  4. Terra - 10 Pleas and Desired Options

    They have not announced what they are going to use for a generator. Until they decide on a generator, they cannot finalize the location. When that is done, then they can determine the towing capacity. Final towing numbers will be available after they have production models, not prototypes, to...
  5. 80% Repairable

    Really, under normal conditions, how much maintenance and repair will there be? At least 80% outside of the manufacturer repair facility is not an unreasonable expectation for a BEV. I have a 2013 Nissan Leaf. I have only replaced tires and wiper blades. It was a lease return. The dealer...
  6. 80% Repairable

    I would guess that the 800V electrical system is included in the 20% that Scout considers to not be serviceable by the vehicle owner.
  7. Range extender versus standard gas engine - what can be omitted?

    The plan for the Range Extender is just a separate generator, something like what you would find on an RV. It could be air-cooled, or have a radiator. There have not yet been any specific details released.
  8. Would you change /cancel your Scout order?

    It's not an order, it's a reservation in line to place an order. It gives them some idea of demand so they can plan for the initial production run. They will start at the top of the list and start taking actual orders. Those at the top of the list should get the first deliveries, but it will...
  9. A TRUE WISH FOR CHARGING

    That's what it is speculated at being. The details for the generator have not yet been released.
  10. Jay Leno drives Scout Hybrid Harvester - Towing Capacity, Gas Fuel Tank Capacity, More Specs Revealed

    It's so funny to see so many people ready to give up after watching a video of two old guys shooting the shit and test driving a prototype that won't be available for two years.
  11. Stake pockets for wood hauling

    You need a bed with sidewalls that will support the weight and stress. Most midsized pickups are not capable of that.
  12. Harvester engine options

    The chances of a diesel, or anything with a turbo, are slim to none.
  13. Goodbye EVs in the US?

    EV's are not going anywhere, they just are going to stop trying to force them on people. EV's will return to being a niche vehicle for those that can afford them. People just need to wait and see what happens. The legacy media can't be trusted, and are just trying to create havoc for the...
  14. V8 Two doors Scout rumors ?!

    It's just a rumor created from someones wishful thinking. I will win the lottery before this is likely to ever happen, and I don't play the lottery.
  15. 4-Cylinder Harvester EREV engine confirmed by CEO Scott! + 0-60mph, range, payload, towing specs discussions

    Yes, VW has been making those engines for decades. My concern is with the whole generator assembly. With the output that will be required to charge the battery pack, once they mate the generator portion to the engine I have serious doubts about it fitting underneath like they are talking...
  16. 4-Cylinder Harvester EREV engine confirmed by CEO Scott! + 0-60mph, range, payload, towing specs discussions

    Yeah, but how big are they, and how many are stuffed under the back end of a vehicle?
  17. We're doing a live video today about Scott's Motortrend interview!

    They want to tuck it away underneath. Once they figure out how big it is going to have to be, it is very probable that it will end up in the front compartment.
  18. Dislikes about your current vehicle that’s offered / solved by the Scout Traveler / Terra?

    I have a 2013 Nissan Leaf and a 2023 Jeep Gladiator. My concern is that the Terra won't provide all the features that I have now. I am looking for one vehicle to replace the two, but am not going to accept a downgrade in features or comfort. As much as I like what I've seen so far, I didn't...
  19. South Carolina Direct Sales Bill gets a hearing on Tuesday 2/11/25

    They can try to get something done at a Federal Level to make DTC auto sales legal everywhere, just like any other online, mail, or phone order purchase. They would still have to deal with state laws for registration and taxes, but the state should not be able to prevent you from purchasing a...
  20. 4-Cylinder Harvester EREV engine confirmed by CEO Scott! + 0-60mph, range, payload, towing specs discussions

    I can't believe they want to go down the road of designing and building their own generator using a VW (German) engine in the 'American made' Scout. This is something that should be subbed out to a company that is experienced in stuffing generators into confined spaces. It would provide owners...
