I'm not a fan of Wagoneer and let's be honest, "first to market" for that car actually means first to the rental car fleets.

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.
I tried to watch it, but the shaky camera work was driving me crazy!

Inside EVs article about Jeeps new v-6 range extender
Accidentally posted from FB as well-missed your dropJeep is releasing an EREV before Scout. No thanks.
The 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Will Get 500 Miles Of Range As America's First EREV - The Autopian
Remember how we told you that Jeep had finally decided that their naming conventions for the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer were too damn confusing, and all their fancy SUVs would be Grand Wagoneers from now on? That was a good choice. Now it also seems that Jeep will stop trying to make the...www.theautopian.com
Why a V-6 though. Don’t they have a 4-cyl or smaller that would work like you guys are doing with the Scouts?
The V-6 is the new V-8. Their customers don’t understand that the power of the engine doesn’t matter once it’s more than some minimum needed to meet the recharge rate necessary for their distance goal.
I totally get it. I have the same sort of toxic relationship with Jeep.
With their track record of late, it could all be vaporware.
Remember that this powertrain was developed for the Ramcharger truck. Which has a stated design goal of 14k lbs of towing, up passes, at speed limits. So it makes sense that the engine is going to be larger than the harvester.
Also, the Pentastar V6 has got to be cheap as chips for them now. Its an old engine, that they've put in tons of vehicles. So its also a possibility its just a "this engine is super cheap, lets throw one in".
This jeep is the exact same platform, with a different body on top. They just kept the same drivetrain.
But does anyone really have faith in stellantis? I know i don't, they fail over and over.
I don't, especially anything to do with electrics based on the Jeep's we have had and thankfully no longer own.
That darn loss of range with bigger tires!!
Not sure why the author thinks it "looks like an off-roader", bc clearly it doesn't.
Some of the headlines to grab eyeballs have the opposite effect.
Also:
"It comes with a one-inch lift, revised high-clearance bumpers and all-terrain tires."
"Soft Roader" would be more appropriate.Not sure why the author thinks it "looks like an off-roader", bc clearly it doesn't.

I enjoyed this prior video from their channel
I tried to watch it, but couldn’t get past my immediate and intense distrust of the bro on camera or the unnecessary background music. Kind of echoing @J Alynn on this: these videos weren’t made for me to consume. Car content has so far proved pretty repellant. Most of what I’ve seen on such as a YouTube seems so ego-driven, like it’s about personality and the desire to be An Influencer first and then the subject matter comes second. Bleh. I want car content from people like me: people who generally don’t give a shit about cars but know what they like and don’t like and then share whatever unvarnished thoughts fall out of their heads about a thing with production values like it’s headed for PBS (which is to say “minimal video overproduction”). I will watch that, but it’s never getting made outside of my mind’s eye.
Have you tried Miss Go Electric's Channel?
I really enjoy her weekly The Current EV news updates.
She goes right to the information and is very professional. She also advocates for electrification and has some great educational content.
Aptera is still moving forward.

Aptera secures access to $75 million to bring its solar car to production
Aptera reports having secured access to $75 million in funding to bring its solar car to production as it is...

She’s, by far, my favorite 4-wheel automobile video maker.
I clicked away after the first several seconds. I am not their audience either.
And I’ve been a gearhead since I could pick up a screwdriver.
I wish I had the patience for all the behind-the-scenes editing and etc. But your comment makes me wonder if I would need to spend too much time with the editing… “Headed for PBS” is the kind of stuff I’d be comfortable making.
