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.

Will there be a lower aero skirting package I can buy to eeck out another 30 miles? I need just a little more range

Just ask Jamie. Anything and everything is or should be available.

OK. But understand I don’t want to pay for it-it should be included. BTW did they mention how much this model will be and will there be incentives from the oil industry?

I like the new Scouit logo.

My insider said are targeting around $20,000 USD, $250,000 Canadian. And there is a new incentive on the horizon that two groups will help incentivize. The OPEC/DBDC (drill baby drill coalition) are going to offer up to $8 dollars in carbon credits.

It's just a concept. The production ready units will not be ready until 2052 due to the changes needed to meet the Community demands.

Also, are those tires silent? I want to be able to hear the roar of the W-12 engine’s three exhaust manifolds as they melt from the heat.

They are 50% optimized for off-road traction, 50% optimized for silent running, and 50% optimized for range.

For an extra $5k, you can get the Scouit Snark Package.

Yes! Yes, you can!

I feel like this Scouit Truck, is just a more fine tuned version of our idea of the massive gas tanks with a massive engine, and no electronics.

Agree. This solves my problem and idea of the spare 40 gallon gas tank on the front passenger seat. Great thinking @LastDayScout

You joke… When I was a kid going on trips across the Mojave Desert, we would carry several 5-gallon gas cans in the trunk of the car (with direct air circulation with the passenger cabin) because 24-hr gas stations didn’t exist and we had to travel at night to avoid overheating… Fun times.

Yes I think the r was dropped.

I got to thinking. If there’s a big engine in the new Scout as you implied then there’s probably no Frunk anymore-No frunk then I’M OUT! Or will SM relocate it to the side of the truck-I don’t use the sides of the vehicle for anything.
Anyway. It must have a frunk or it will fail miserably!

Well sir you will not be disappointed. It is an option however. It’s actually called a FWUNK (fifth wheel + trunk= FWUNK). It’s essentially one of those Sears turtle shell roof carriers mounted to a fifth wheel adapter.

Brilliant design planning. If you suggested that you get a big gold star ️

HA! You thought I meant move the frunk. I meant move the engine. I’m all in for continuing the Fury Road look. I don’t expect a live musician strapped to the hood but if the stereo could be mounted on the hood with swivel heads I could jam when driving OR spin it around and have a mobile Woodstock anywhere I go since I know this beast will be unstoppable!

Aw shucks. Gee, thanks mister!

Wait, now that is a pedestrian warning we can all get around. If someone would dare step out in front of this rig, or somehow not hear the thunder of the exhaust stacks…they are met with this.
