Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

The Jay Leno interview was with the ceo i doubt it was BS. Keep in mind the whole design of the Scout vehicles is based around off road adventure. Off road adventure usually means an articulating off-road hitch. This means almost all 1/2 ton trucks are not rated much more then 5,000 gwr to (500 lb tongue weight rating) without a wdh. Wdh generally do not work off-road. Then with the Harvester they plan is to put and ice engine and gas tank south of rear axel. This is going to limit towing capacity. People should just realize the Harvester models are not going to be able to tow heavy trailers.

My point was more that, even if that was the current working number they absolutely had to know that wasn’t going to fly. I don’t want a full-size truck that can barely tow more than a compact Maverick. Nobody wants that. Regardless of it being designed as more of an off-road rig most of these will never see much beyond a dirt road and we all know it. Of course, most people probably won’t tow or haul either, so hell the ratings probably mean very little anyhow, lol.

You’re 100% correct here. The Terra Harvester needs to be able to tow at least 8,000lbs or it’s kind of a failure.
