I've also wondered this about the EREV...
In my 4XE, the electric-only would be disabled due to it going into Fuel/Oil Refresh mode.
I know the Scout won't be able to completely disable running on the battery but will it go into a mode that requires the generator to run if it hasn't in a while...
It's a little crazy how much EVs trigger people too. It shouldn't be mandated...but what is the problem with having them as an option?
What I don't understand is that the anti-EV truck people use the arguments about towing and how they can't tow their 5th wheel or can't load up 3 tons of...
Well, brakes and oil... No oil changes and less brake changes as the EV motors are less on brakes. Now, the big question is, are tires replaced more often due to the increased weight of an EV? That would offset costs. (Not to mention if you keep the vehicle long enough to need to replace the...
Having a roll-down window + cabana roof would make it feel more like an open air vehicle.
I'd probably use that more than the split tailgate but at the same time I do love that split tailgate.
Glass that flips up (like a Wrangler) doesn't seem like it's safe to drive with. Those struts would...
In all fairness, it takes a lot longer to charge a battery than fill a tank. Parking in front of a gas pump to charge would prevent the gas pumps from being used. Charging and filling at the same time would only really be applicable for PHEV and those with Range extenders.
Might be easier to...
I've noticed that Nouria stations have been installing EV Chargers. 3 near me have added them when converting from the gas station that was bought out.
This is the question I had.
It's 500 miles of range from a single fill-up and charge.
The generator kicks in and slows down the depletion rate of the battery. If the battery is depleted after the generator tank is empty, will each fill-up get you an additional 350 miles or will it only be...
This is taken from another post on these forums from back in November. I'm not sure how accurate they are.
Looks like the Traveler is longer by about the size of the spare tire carrier on the Bronco.
Scout Traveler SUV
- 207.9 inch length (with rear mounted spare tire / carrier)
- 190.9 inch...
Now that I look at it more, it does look like the tailgate is designed with this in mind. If you look at the tie-down rails on the floor, they continue onto that flap that covers the gap when the tailgate is open. (I'm assuming those are tie-down rails)
Can you close the upper portion of the hatch while the tailgate portion is down? This may be useful with hauling longer items if possible. (Obviously without the tire carrier).
I wonder how easy it is to remove the tire carrier...for that infrequent trip to the lumber yard to grab some 2x4s.
This is what I can't determine by pics and it's nice that you said that.
Basing it on the Chevy SUV's...would you say it's Equinox, Traverse, or Tahoe sized?
Personal opinion but those wheels just don't do it for me. They look like a mix between a bass speaker and those 90s Hot Wheels "wheels"
Maybe if there was raised white letters on the tires to offset all of the "black"
