Let's hope they keep the price in check. When the F-150 Lightning I ordered arrived it was $15k more than initially stated. At launch the 2022 price for my config was $47k, when I got to order in 2023, the same config was $57k. When it arrived at the dealership the sticker said $62k. I had to...

The first year Ford had the F150 Lightning and the first year Chevy had the Silverado EV at the fair they were roped off. So it could be possible for Scout to be there. Although not exactly the same as both Ford and Chevy had many other vehicles available to get in. Scout cold be at/next to...

I don't think you can expect over 300 miles towing with even the Silverado EV that gets 500 miles without. The Scout isn't going to have the giant battery that GM is using. I believe that Scout is targeting 350 miles for the battery only and then 500 miles combined between the battery and a...

They have shown some really great colors, I hope they make it to production and not just silver, grey, and other grey like most vehicles.

I'm far from a legal expert in the field, but some of your argument doesn't make sense. A VW Routan was mostly a Dodge van, built in a Dodge factory in the USA. Was Volkswagen required to allow Dodge dealers to sell VW vehicles? Was VW required to offer franchises to any Dodge franchise holders...

They're the size of a 1/2 ton truck or a full size SUV (Tahoe/expedition) and here in Texas these vehicles are everywhere. Most people drive them "around the city". Sure a lot of places in the Northeast may be tighter spaces, but I can assure you that millions of people in the USA (especially...

If ... And that's a big if, the towing capacity is reduced, a big factor will probably be cooling system capacity. Towing packages on almost every vehicle include increased cooling capacity, especially for the transmission. Other examples include the F-150 lightning, to get maximum capacity...

That's cause Texas doesn't give a shit about the environment

$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...
