This is what Jamie@Scout Motors posted last month on the official Scout Forum: "options and trim packages won’t be announced till roughly late 2026. And as technology evolves we will adjust."

Ramcharger has been delayed until first quarter of 2026. Some people are making a big deal out of that, but I'd rather see them work out all of the bugs as opposed to releasing an unfinished product.

There will likely be a liquid cooling system for the batteries. It could be modified to assist with engine cooling. I'm sure Scout is working on it. Their engineering choices for the Harvester will continue to be hot topics.

The gas tank is probably up towards the front of the vehicle. In most internal combustion engine cars, the engine in the front and the gas filler is at the back. That's not new. The Harvester is based on a Volkswagen engine, so it will require oil changes just like any other ICE engine. There...

Harvester models have a smaller battery. 150 mi of range. The gas engine generator will provide approximately 350 mi of range for a total of 500

I'm not sure the packaging works without eliminating the frunk. The gas tank has to go somewhere. Not to mention the added weight and cost.

I read that. I'm sure if you asked the Scout engineers they would reluctantly acknowledge that it is a hybrid. That term is confusing to many people, including you apparently. Most people think of a parallel hybrid when the term hybrid is mentioned. That's understandable. Parallel hybrids like...

What was I mistaken about? An EREV is a hybrid. There isn't one kind of hybrid.

Engineers determine what to call it, not me. It's okay to learn something new or admit you're mistaken about something.

Actually, it is. Scout is a series hybrid rather than a parallel hybrid. https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a46275944/series-hybrid-vs-parallel-hybrid-explained/

The Harvester is the hybrid option.

In 2024, the Toyota RAV4 was the top-selling vehicle in the USA, dethroning the F-150.

Good points, especially #2. Ramcharger has now been delayed to Q1 2026 too.

The ID.Buzz sold in the USA doesn't have a 25% chicken tax because it's a passenger van. The cargo version would be subject to the tax. ID.BUZZ is expensive because it's a huge EV made in Germany.

Unfortunately, there's no way for us to know. The reservation numbers are randomly generated.

Some models are 2 inches narrower in width and some are the same as the Traveler

I hear you. There been a lot of posts about Harvester and packaging lately that just got me thinking about the spares. Scout engineers are definitely earning their money!

Although the Terra is almost as big as a F150, the Traveler is about the same size as a Toyota 4Runner or Honda Passport. It's actually slightly shorter than both of them.

It will be interesting to see where they put the spare in the Terra. For the Traveler, a 33-in spare should fit in the BEV where the Harvester would go. I think the Harvester Travelers will have to put the spare in the cargo area or the external carrier.
