The new Scout debuted tonight in both SUV & Pickup bodies with full EV or EV plus gas Range Extender - delivery expected late 2026

I reserved a Harvester Traveller (SUVRex) - anyone else?

- 2023 Heritage Limited Edition / Robin’s Egg Blue / 4dr / (stolen from my dealer 11/15/23)

The question is, if I'm towing 7K lbs how much range do I have?

If you weigh as much as the Frail Blazer/WankPanzer /CyberDumpster (in case you're wondering, these are all nicknames for the same atrocity of a vehicle), then current stories across the web suggest that answer is ... not much. Maybe 150 miles, maybe...

Towing you go from charger to charger and hope you make it.

I personally love the design. It looks a heck of a lot better than the Rivian. It seems they have really put some thought in the features and love the idea of the range extender. The cost is much cheaper than I would have anticipated but you never know what options are going to cost and what the actual price will be by the time they roll it out.

Also, is Volkswagen involved with this? In the video they welcomed a couple of VW execs but never really mentioned how they are involved.

Scout is a brand owned by Navistar which VW acquired. They intend to make it D2C (aka no dealers) so it is their path to building a new sales and maintenance model for this type of vehicle.

It's a rebadged Rivian, pure and simple

If it were real scouts, they'd look more like these:

Again, these are just rebadged Rivian's sold to clueless elites who are bored with their Tesla's and also wanna pose as Offroader's. Anyone attempting to claim these are legit are just as much a joke as this is, probably more
I have 3 Rivian. These are nothing like Rivian. Solid rear axle, lockers, sway bar disconnect, bumper mods, etc. They are 100% unrelated with the possible exception of software since VW has a joint venture with Rivian on software.

Software was mentioned in one article, but how long will it plow with the wipers,heater,lights on not to mention lifting the plow and pushing.

It'll be dead by daylight, and of course, we'll be seeing them blow up and cause forest fires out here on the east coast (:
