Driver assistance features while towing

[AlanL]

We plan to buy a Traveler Harvester, 80% of the miles we put on it will be towing a travel trailer. I hope at that least adaptive cruise control and lane centering will be supported in tow mode. They relieve a lot of stress. The separation distances with adaptive cruise control should increase while towing to account for increased braking distances. More advanced features like hand-free driving might be nice for some when towing, but we personally would not use them. When not towing yes, but not while towing. The possible consequences of a glitch are too severe.

If I purchase a Scout, it would be with the intent to replace my current daily driver, that i use for off-road, commute and pulling a trailer. One thing that would be a great feature is the ability to use the Scout while camping as power source to power the trailer. Built in dynamic trailer braking and stiffing the rear shocks in a tow mode would also be great.

Traveler Harvester max towing capacity at the moment is 5,000lbs this is subjected to change since everything is still in R&D phase.

assuming the R1S can tow in the 7k range, I would hope to see the scout fall suite, I know nothing is set in stone. my current vehicle is right around the 5k mark for towing.

Pure EV Traveler is around 10,000lbs.

It’s believed that Harvester will see less capacity due to how the frame will be used having Harvester in the Back with mounting and bracing.

My recollection of the Jay Leno interview is that the BEV Terra is about 10,000, the BEV Traveler is about 7000, and the unspecified Harvester is about 5000. A lot of angst over the Harvester number. My guess is Scott misspoke slightly, that 5000-ish is the Traveler Harvester and the Terra Harvester is 8000-ish. All subject to refinement (hopefully upward) of course.

Luckily we are decently under 5000.
