My personal experience / use case begs to differ.
350 EPA miles != 350 real miles if any high speed/freeway (it's a problem in CO / Wy where freeway speed limit is 75mph and everyone drives 85+mph because no traffic, also mountains, lots of mountains) or if have anything sticking up in the...
It would, was referring to the harvester / range extender model, not pure BEV....BEV def needs > 100kw battery for a large and AT tire vehicle...current truck offerings have 123kw-200kw plus
I'd be happy with a real world 150 miles Battery Range + Range Extender - for me would cover 90% on electric with 10% on ICE!
Want to say 100kw battery but guessing it will be smaller for the range extender version. Guess it'll depend on what motor they use / charging speed / weight, etc
Meh, I like CarPlay but dont choose my vehicle on it....but would like any car I have to actually support wireless car play, why not so awesome that Scout will have it!! Agree subscription fees are stupid, but pay for them on my Audi and it has CarPlay (no sub for that). And $100 year for my...
There's a chance it will support a snow plow with body on frame!!! And lights are pretty much a guarantee either OEM or aftermarket, assume standard 12v and some option for outfitter switches (or aftermarket)....believe you'll be supported in your wish list!
I would assume they have a reasonable amount of protection on components as most mfg's offer some sort of rust warranty (not cosmetic)....typically frames are dipped, steel suspension components painted, aluminum raw? I dont think they'll do anything extra vs. industry norms. EV's do have the...
Inflation, Battery Cost Curve, EV Credits/Regulations, Supply/Demand, Company Financials, Geo Politics, etc - a lot can happen over a few years (reflect back on the past 2-3 years - that's not political related comment)....they know what the pricing curve does to sales volume so they'll do the...

"ensaid had said that Scout’s software would be a product of the VW-Rivian joint venture. And today, the companies confirmed that Scout would be among the brands that would benefit from the new technology."
I had a 2019 Model 3 Performance that I didnt drive 5-6 months out of the year (for 4 years) - eg in winter because it had summer performance tires on it and I have other vehicles. I left it on the charger all winter set to 50%. Car had degraded 6% in the 4 years / 30k miles. Assuming Scout...
The battery degradation is pretty well managed these days, personally have no concern given the warranties provided by most.. I typically keep my trucks 10 years so it's in the ballpark for me. Only concern I'd be worried about is if the range (EV only, no harvester) is on the edge of your use...
I have a 6 seat GMC2500 - aka front is a bench. It's a 2016 and I have never once used the bench functionality. Doesn't hurt anything (lose some storage I suppose) and if you have 6 people to haul around then it's a good thing. I take my wife's suv when that's the case. just my 2 cents.
Not...
So does pulling a stuck 8k truck out of a mud hole put more force on the hitch / frame than pulling a 33klb sled? - maybe it does, honest question. Love my CT (maybe that's why I react to the haters), guessing I'll love my scout too if they develop a good product... I'll quit now, you do you...
Go
Good for you, my trucks are for Winter, dirt bikes, camping, trailer pulling, bit of off roading (not extreme) and for commuting / daily - seem to be able to so without thrashing them (most the time).
