Harvester Towing

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

To the best of everyone’s ability do not minimize towing for the gas extender versions to 5k. That will cause you all to lose a drastic amount of reservations just by that alone. People want trucks for truck things. Especially for that price. It’s evident in the forums. Towing is a huge component in that especially since you are advertising a full size truck. If
You were talking midsize (Rivian) the conversation may be different. The sweet spot is 7500. If you can get it there. I can almost guarantee you will make a great amount of people happy as that also is a good number to tow a vast amount of things.

Nothing is official yet, as stated in a few other threads. We have been told by Jamie if I'm recalling correctly that they are trying to make the Harvester and EV towing pretty even. It's lowballed capacity probably is due to weight distribution, but they seem to have figured it out by swapping the fuel tank to the rear, and the battery to the front. Which was originally shown as the Fuel tank up front and the battery at the rear.
