2026 Lightship vs Pebble Flow All Electric Trailers

  • 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.

The top spec lightship comes with a WDH.

It sounds like some people aren’t using it…

Pebble says you don’t need a WDH, some people are using one anyway.

Pebble is wrong unless they’ve found some magical way of reducing tongue weight (hint: they haven’t). They have a tongue weight of 680 pounds, 136% overload of any SD vehicle with a 5000 pound capacity without a WDH.

No information on the Evotrex and a WDH

Lightship and Pebble both say that the trailer’s propulsion system can control sway.

Sway isn’t the reason for a WDH.

Many WDHs have optional sway control. Those wouldn’t be needed if there’s another system that controls sway.

All of them say that the tow vehicle must be able to to tow the full weight per regulations, no gimme because of the propulsion system of the trailer.

Personally I’d want a 3/4 ton. I don’t feel the rivian is up to it, maybe the Ramcharger, definitely not the Scout.

I don’t like to regularly tow more than about 75% of my truck’s towing capacity on public roads.
It’s not about power, it’s about safety.
