Scout's comin' to Cambridge...Wicked pissah!

[J Alynn]

Are the concepts going to be inside? They are usually under some form of cover.

I would presume so but if weather is ugly less people are likely to be out and the regatta isn’t a full day event so likely less people to contend with

Wicked glad Scout is coming to the Boston area! I've been dying to see the Traveler and Terra in person!

But woof, those Friday hours! Whoever planned a 7 a.m. to noon event in Cambridge has either never driven on the Pike, Storrow Drive, or Memorial Drive on a Friday morning, or assumes everyone lives within walking distance of a T stop.

For those of us outside the Boston metro area, getting 50 miles from Worcester to Cambridge can take two hours. Especially when the left-lane campers decide 62 mph is the official speed limit.

Even taking the commuter rail and T is cutting it close after dropping the kid off at school.
And Saturday and Sunday? It's youth hockey season in Massachusetts. We don't have weekends. We have away games, cold rinks, and numb appendages.

I'm still going to give Friday a shot because I really want to see these Scouts. Just wish the schedule gave those of us outside the city a fighting chance!

Maybe next time throw us Central Mass folks a bone!

I feel your pain, I'm coming in from southern New Hampshire. So I have to fight morning commute traffic just to get to a T stop.

But it looks like it isn't their fault - their display hours are the same as the Regatta's hours. My guess is those hours are dictated by the event not by Scout.

Its a bit frustrating, commuter rail isn't an option for me because Worcester line is going to get there too close for comfort. So it's the Pike or route 2 for me, to hopefully get to alewife in time. Rest of the weekend is a nogo for me due to youth hockey games all.over the place. So this is a rare opportunity to see these things sort of close.

I know it’s a long drive for everyone and parking, etc, etc, but it’s an adventure. Was I thrilled about getting up at 1:30 in the morning and on the road at 2 to drive for 750 to 790 miles each way to go to the events in SC and NC? Not really, but I knew what was at the end of that drive. Seeing the Scouts and meeting everyone. Each experience was an adventure, including the trip to get there.

 

[N Wilson]

I'll be there on Saturday. Sounds like it's going to be cold that day with highs around 50°F.

Anyone else going on Saturday?

Thinking of swing by. When are you gonna be there? Maybe I can make it work and get my wife back for another day/hour

Ha! That depends on how early I can get my kids up and ready to go. They are the opposite of early risers. That, and a 2.5 hour drive in from the west, then finding parking probably guarantees we won't be there before midday.

I'll check in with you when we're on the way to see if it's going to work out. Totally understand if you have to head out though.

I do get this. You never know what the reward will be for enduring something that you think is going to be a miserable experience. Like, maybe Friday is the day that you find someone drops a hundo on the ground and you go to return it to the person who dropped it and it turns out that it was dropped by Zeus in disguise and he says you’re now entitled to one wish, so you decide to break your high school nemesis’s HVAC system and Zeus is like “that guy really had it coming” and gives you two more wishes because that one really didn’t count!

My First Impressions of the Scouts at Head of the Charles

Got to see the Scouts in person today, and figured I'd share my initial thoughts.

First off, these are just my personal opinions based on what I saw today. I'm the type of person who will point out both the good and the bad, even when it's something I'm excited about. I'm rooting for Scout to succeed, but I'm also going to give credit where it's earned and constructive criticism where I think it's warranted. This was my first opportunity to see the vehicles together.

Overall appearance: These are some beautiful vehicles. I got to see the Mountainside up close, and I was impressed with the amount of cargo space and the overall interior design. They have a great presence in person, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the production versions compare.

Terracotta interior: This was one of my pleasant surprises. In some of the promotional photos, the Terracotta looks almost too bright and red, bordering on tacky. In person, it's much more muted, earthy, and natural-looking. It has a warmer, more understated appearance that I really liked. Pictures really don't do it justice, and seeing it in person made me more confident about choosing it for my own build.

The Terra: The truck looked fantastic, but it was up on a platform with the doors closed, so I couldn't get a particularly close look. It's certainly an attractive truck, and I'd love the opportunity to explore it more thoroughly at a future event.

Exterior colors: Of the three colors on display, Silo Green was easily my favorite. It really stood out in person. The Trail Ready's color looked great as well, while the Mountainside's color, although nice, seemed to blend in with a lot of other SUVs already on the road. That may have been partly due to the rainy, overcast weather. I'd love to see how the colors look in direct sunlight. Hopefully, future events out this way will include Tahitian and Pacific Mist so we can see those in person, too.

Trail Ready: This is probably the direction I'd go with my own build. My current daily driver is a Bronco Outer Banks Sasquatch, and the Trail Ready gives me a lot of those same rugged, capable SUV vibes. Unfortunately, it was also up on a platform, so I couldn't get as close as I would have liked. I'm especially interested in seeing the front bench seat up close. From what I could see, though, I really liked it.

Interior and luxury: One of the Scout crew members asked me what I thought about the luxury level. I told them that, to me, it felt more comparable to a premium Bronco Outer Banks Sasquatch than a Range Rover. That's not necessarily a negative. The interior was attractive and nicely appointed, but I didn't get the ultra-luxury Range Rover feeling from it. Personally, I think there's something to be said for a comfortable, premium interior in a vehicle that's still meant to be rugged and useful. That's more my style anyway.

The Scout crew: I want to give them some credit here. Since the vehicles were up on platforms and access was limited, crew members kindly took my camera and got photos and videos of the Scouts on stage for me. They certainly didn't have to do that, and I appreciated the gesture. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and seemed genuinely interested in hearing feedback.

The event itself: The rain definitely seemed to keep the crowds down, which honestly wasn't a bad thing for getting a good look at everything. The Mountainside and Trail Ready displays were about a 20-minute walk apart. Not a terrible walk, even in the rain.

The only real downside was the a-hole on Memorial Drive who decided to drive about 55 mph through a puddle and completely soak me. Thanks for that, buddy! I do have my suspicions about who might have been behind the wheel, though. Apparently, I got the full off-road water-crossing experience without ever getting behind the wheel.

Cabana Roof, Roof Rack, and Options: I'm also planning on adding both the Cabana roof and roof rack to my build. One of my favorite things about my Bronco is the open-air experience, and I'd love to keep that with the Traveler. The roof rack adds practicality and, in my opinion, really complements the rugged styling. Hopefully, both options will work together.

From my conversations with the Scout crew, it sounds like there may be some standard equipment packages to choose from, with additional plug-and-play accessories becoming available down the road. Of course, everything is still fluid, and nothing is necessarily set in stone. It'll be interesting to see how Scout approaches customization and how much freedom buyers ultimately have to build the vehicles they want.

So, what is my ideal build as of today:

- Scout Traveler
- Trail Ready configuration
- Harvester range extender
- Silo Green exterior
- Terracotta interior
- Front bench seat
- Cabana roof
- Roof rack

Obviously, this could change depending on final pricing, available packages, and which options can actually be combined. But that's where I'm leaning after seeing them in person.

Glad you had the opportunity to make it work, it really does make a difference seeing them in person vs. what we see through a screen. Thanks for sharing your impressions.

So glad you got to see them and nice to hear what others think when they finally do.

Oh, I’m glad you got to go see them! I’m sorry that I missed you today by oversleeping and I’m sorry someone nailed you with a puddle. That happened to me three years ago in the Seaport on a rainy day when I was at a conference and I’ve been angry at the Seaport ever since (I also came down with COVID for the second time a couple of days later and it was indeed worse than the first time and it rebounded and I’ve never quite felt the same since then, so I hold that against the Seaport too).

Seaport = Southie to me, so I am already angry at Seaport for you. The rain started coming in pretty hard when I was leaving, so sleeping in might have been the smartest choice lol. Hopefully you get to see them later this weekend.

Hello. Can someone get this measurement?

Post in thread 'Cab height over bed rails?'

Today at 12:28 PM

I didn’t measure but the front of the Terra but I measured the Traveler at Nats last year. With and without the roof rack. I think they are similar height on 35s.

Thanks, but I probably didn’t explain that well enough and there was a typo in the title. Here’s a marked up image of the dimension I’m most curious about. Like most campers and toppers for short beds, mine has a cab-over that could be too tight to the roof rack or leave an unsightly, aerodynamic killing gap… If someone gets a chance to measure it up at the regatta that would be amazing!
