Harvester towing

[mbeadnell]

I would strongly suggest the harvester model towing more than 5k. This is going to be a deal breaker for most people and cause a lot of cancelled reservations. My opinion but I would not have announced something like this without all the details
In place to make a firm stance. This has created a lot of confusion and speculation and as a result many cancelled reservations. I would like to see the Terra at least able
To tow 7500 at minimum and the traveler at 5000k minimum. It makes no sense for both the tow the same with one able
To tow nearly 3k more on the pure ev models. This is just my suggestion. Keeping the price within the mentioned amount during announcement I hope is possible to have the towing range increased ( 7500 for Terra 5000 for traveler) that’s my suggestion and opinion.

I’m being facetious. I wish the Harvester didn’t ‘de-rate’ towing on the Terra from 10,000 lbs.

Gotcha. With the Harvester being behind the rear axel it is inevitable that both models will loose ratings compared to the total ev. It is what it is even though the "is" is not in stone. In my book the Scout is an off-road vehicle and should only worry about pulling an off-road trailer which shouldn't be any heavier then 6k gwr.

Just out of interest, has it been confirmed the Harvester towing capacity is the same for both the Traveller and Terra, or is there a chance the Terra Harvester could have a higher figure?

Nothing has been confirmed but my guess is the Terra harvester will have a higher towing capacity

I am hopeful they can get to these numbers

Derating towing with the harvester is a bit disappointing. I get there are compromises. Scout's brand ethos is refreshing and exciting. It probably isn't meant to compete with the Ramcharger at 16000lbs, but having at least 7500 - 10000 would be nice. Towing a moderate sized car as a goal would be great.

I'd wait to see the final numbers before cancelling a pre order but a truck that is only a truck in form and bed is a disappointment. However I understand that is probably a pretty large market, as most folks won't or will not tow their toys around.

Oh yes! I have only been here since the reveal but other have been here for 2-1/2 years. There’s lots of info and the search function is very helpful.

Additionally @Jamie@ScoutMotors is a great follow and keeps us updated on what’s going on at SM!
