    New Rival: 2026 Jeep Recon Revealed

    Well a lot of searching over the last months and it paid off! I found a one owner with no past issues 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk in my desired color of Silver/Black with all the options and only 24K miles coming off a 3 year lease that was within my budget at about 53% of original MSRP...

    Harvester Gas Tank location moved to under rear seats & batteries moved to front (tow rating benefit) ⛽️

    Not quite by half, but when you do run out, it's only a few minutes at any gas station and your on the road again! ;) No hunting and pecking for some juice in hopes the expensive powering device works or the copper charge line hasn't been stolen.

    So what's my tall rectangular brick going to do to EV range? I have a bad feeling... 😬

    Cup holders for Terra and Traveler with the bench seat

    My dog can't hold a cup! 🐶 Hopefully in the door panels and/or dash pop-out, plus on the back side of the flip-down center console. 👍

    Best video showcasing the Traveler?

    This basic short year old video should sum things up pretty good for your wife. It hits on 4 things I love about it: off-road oriented, EREV harvester option, bench seat option and the Traveler ragtop cabana roof. If any of the videos don't sell her, try to take her to see one in person when...

    Introductions & Welcome Thread For New & Old Members 👋

    Considering a 2022 JGC Trailhawk V6 6,200lb towing capacity flat towable purchase to hold me over until the EREV Traveler's get here. Not sure I can hold out with my 3,500lb towing capacity 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz AWD 2.5L naturally aspirated (not flat towable) long enough for the Traveler.🤞🤞

    LA Auto Show

    After sneaking a peek at the LA Auto Show, I will say I'm impressed. Both vehicles are beautiful and both colors look way better in person than in photos. Couldn't get any addition information regarding either that hasn't already been reported. Wish they let you sit in them, but I understand...

    Scout gift for reservation holders - Any guesses?

    Received the same from SLATE, but have since canceled that reservation unless I need one as a second vehicle that can be flat towed behind a motorhome. The SLATE EV won't meet my do-it-all needs.

    Harvester Gas Tank location moved to under rear seats & batteries moved to front (tow rating benefit) ⛽️

    IMHO they need to get the tow rating up on the Harvester model to at least 7,000lbs. Right now Jeep Grand Cherokee (V6 ICE) has a 6,200lb. rating and somewhat stands alone in the non V8 ICE SUV market that is full of 5,000lb. tow rating limited vehicles. That one factor puts the JGC on my...

    Apple CarPlay + Android Auto for Scout Nav / infotainment says Scout rep

    That's how I feel about Sirius XM. I guess you'd say I'm an XM Power User. Have it going in my cars and at home almost 24/7. Android Auto & Apple Car Play are great until you get off the beaten path and lose cell service. Of course you can continue to stream your personal play list if it's...

    New Rival: 2026 Jeep Recon Revealed

    Love it! I've actually considered a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4X4 Laredo (V6 ICE) with Tech Group 1 & Tow Package only, to meet my minimum 5,200lbs. towing needs. You can get $12,000+ discounts on them new, putting that new vehicle at about $30K. The main thing that stopped me was the...

    Audi to build a luxury Off-Roader SUV (Hybrid EREV range-extender) on Scout platform

    Agree on them being great vehicles. It's the "independent" dealer network structure that soils the diapers of great vehicles. Many play the stick it to the manufacturer warranty game by billing the manufacturer for things that aren't needed or they caused. You'd think the manufacturers would...

    Scout EREV competition is coming!

    All my personal full EV real world experience comes from years of eBike building; even before the craze of eBikes hit during the last several years. Range anxiety IS REAL and very stressful. At least with homemade eBikes using crank based motors and universal lithium ion batteries, you can add...

    Scout EREV competition is coming!

    I don't think we will know the true details regarding EREV's until they are actually produced and tested. Real world efficiencies are often very different than stated and even further from planned. Advancing technology will be something to watch.

    Scout EREV competition is coming!

    Audi to build a luxury Off-Roader SUV (Hybrid EREV range-extender) on Scout platform

    Couldn't agree more. Bought a new VW Beetle Turbo with the Audi 10 year/100,000 mile warranty engine. Great car and engine, but the VW dealer network was a living nightmare. They'd break things unrelated to recall service bulletins, then bill you for what they broke. Won't give you your car...

    If I was in charge

    Little 4-cylinder diesel with tons of torque and great highway mileage is always an option once that massive plant is built and demand isn't there or it dwindles for EV's. Heck, that might even be a good choice for the generator! :idea: Side note: That's one of the reasons I was originally...

    Scout gift for reservation holders - Any guesses?

    No email here, but at number 2,500+ I'm not going to hold my breath for a token trinket... Porsche once sent me a poster of the Boxster S and something else for the Carrera Cab years ago. It was good PR, but nothing that rocked my world like a crystal gear shift knob with a floating Rolling...
