On Thursday in South Carolina, Scout Motors President and CEO Scott Keogh told The Drive, “The specs of having something that’s 1,000 pound feet of torque, 800 horsepower, 500 miles of range, is a pretty phenomenal solution, and I think that’s why people are jumping there.”

Good information to help with the details of the harvester. It is my understanding the harvester will use a different type of battery pack chemistry compared to the BEV. I wonder if the front/rear electric motors are exactly the same mechanically and hp/tq specs for the BEV and EREV? I also though the EREV had 4.5 second to 0-60 mph and the BEV had 3.5 second 0-60 mph? I'm 100% fine if both had identical 0-60 mph times.

That’s my understanding.

If I can afford it - this will be my build!

Now make this setup available on the Terra with an 8,000lb tow rating and you’ll have a winner!

Big problem for the EREV is for fuel efficiency, they don't want a huge motor. But the continuous draw while towing may require it. Dodge said they were going to do that, putting the Pentastar v6 in it. They are looking at a mid 2027 launch - but I bet it will be prohibitively expensive, with terrible EV range. Ok, 145 mile electric range, dropping to 39 while towing. Oh, and they claim 20mpg on gas. So to get that huge range number, it has a 27 gallon tank. Oh, and at least one web site mentioned a 60% reduction in range while towing.

I loved my 1/2 ton Ram. I hated Dodge dealers. I hated that it kept leaving me on the side of the road and they never managed to fix it - Had it for 80k miles, and it was shitting the bed for 60k of them. Dodge dealers started pulling crap before I picked up the truck, they never got better. Oh, in that 80k miles also had the transfer case, front axle, and transmission fail (not counting the near continuous engine problems). I hold a long grudge.

I don’t blame you!
Wow!
