6'5" with the roof rack is monstrous....I love it! However that is going be a challenge accessing the rack but worth the sacrifice IMO.

She’s a big girl that’s for sure and I love it!

I believe the Scout Motors web page gives the height dimensions as something like 76” to 78” in the drawing. Which doesn’t seem to include a rack.

That seems really tall. That would be 6’4” to 6’6” without a rack. Now when I was at Nats I did show someone what I was doing and asked if they were correct. They looked at my pictures and said they looked about right.

Then when I was in Chicago trying to do another measurement a gentleman from SM asked what I was trying to do. I told him. He asked me if I was the one who posted the measurements from Nats. (See they do read the forum) I told him yes and that’s when he told me the rails made it the same height as with the rack. That’s why I didn’t redo measurements there as nothing had changed.

I’m hoping we do get a very detailed diagram so that when we are building our Scouts and adding wheels and tires and racks and things, the diagram will have the measurements of our exact Scout with the options and accessories we have chosen.

Standard residential garage doors are 7’ high so that is the magic number. I’m sure the 35’s and basic rack will be snug but doable. Add bigger tires or a higher lift and you will be on the brink of not fitting. Parking garages aim for 7’ but not all the time so pulling up and seeing if you hit the yellow safety bar above will be the ultimate test.

 

[SpaceEVDriver]

The official height of the traveler (with the 33” tires) is 76.3", including the antenna. That’s without the rack/top hat. Add on 35” tires, and you’re at 78.3" 77.3”. Again, without the top hat.

For comparison, the stock 4 Runner TRD Pro with 33” tires is 74 inches tall.

This is why I want a measuring tool on ordering. I don’t want to worry about fitting height wise.

That is great info and seems to fit the notion of designing to fit stock options within a standard garage. But again, once people let lose and start modifying with aftermarket parts that’s when the height will become issue-especially if you enter garage on an incline if you approach angle makes front edge of rack a smidge higher

adding 2" of tire height only adds 1" to vehicle height. that 2" is in full diameter so under the axle is only half of that. the other half is inside the wheel well.

Yes, I was typing too fast.

Assuming that there’s no lift required to fit the 35s, which I believe Jamie has stated that the Scouts should accommodate the 35s without a lift.

This is one of the only reasons I want an adjustable suspension on the Scout. I know air suspension isn't ideal for serious off-roading but I love having the ability to raise or lower the height of my R1T should want/need to.

I’ve @‘ed Jamie a couple times on this to no avail. Only thing official I’ve seen is this which kinda implies no:

Will Scout® vehicles offer a spare tire? | Scout Support

support.scoutmotors.com

I think the spare tire discussion has to wait on the final specs and given models and trims. There are so many variables in tire and wheel sizes, Harvester, no Harvester, and on and on. We don't want to give any information that is incorrect or subject to change.

Similarly, when we bring staff to these events, they try to answer questions, but are often nervous about what they can and can't say, both broadly or in small details.

Thanks for letting us know. Back to faith and patience.

Completely fair. Thanks for being transparent about that Jamie

Same, short of going to a parking garage in Chicago here and there I’m really not worried about size.

My Traveler will be the largest vehicle I have ever owned and I can’t wait.

Now, if you take off the tire carrier, roof rack, throw a smaller street tire and have it on a regular not off road setup I wonder if that will solve some problems for people.

Here’s are the measurement pictures I took at Nats last year using my iPhone for anyone who hasn’t seen them. And I asked in Chicago, the rails are the same height as the rack.

These measurements seem reasonable to me. As I mentioned, I'm 6'1" without shoes, and the roof of the Traveler with 35's was about even with the top of my head (hard to tell because I couldn't stand exactly next to it). And an antenna wasn't visible, but I could see that adding a few inches. The roof rack would also add some as well.

 

[6-ScoutFamily]

That seems really tall. That would be 6’4” to 6’6” without a rack. Now when I was at Nats I did show someone what I was doing and asked if they were correct. They looked at my pictures and said they looked about right.

76.3” on the Traveler. 77.7” on the Terra.

I absolutely loved getting a chance to see the Scouts in person. We have reservations for both Traveler and Terra. My only design gripe is I hope they put a driver side grab handle in the production vehicle. I recently traded my 3500HD for a Silverado EV and miss that dang handle more than I ever thought I would. Size wise I think both Scouts are perfect, and you have to keep in mind these are on 35's and 37's to show what's possible with these. Production vehicles will likely be available/start in milder specs for lower tiers. The Traveler feels to fit between a Tahoe and 4Runner/Landcruiser which is just about right. Still plenty of room in the back for real adults. And the Terra was bigger than Rivian which, for me, is a good thing. A deep enough bed and big enough rear seating. As for the latest scuttle, they are saying 10,000lbs. towing for the Harvester again for both Scouts, and that both with start delivering in '28. And I wasn't able to get target weight of confirmation of ability to flat tow out of them.

Jamie has said there will be a drivers side grab handle. We all have to have one.

I missed that but I am pleased to hear this news.

I’m trying to find it and not having any luck. Anyone have the post where Jamie said we would have a drivers side grab handle? I don’t think he’s said exactly where, but I’m 99% sure he said they would have one.

I think you're saying that you were told all four trims would have 10k towing? This would be a fairly rare capability among SUVs.

There are three modern SUVs that have 10k+ towing capacity in the US. The Hummer BEV is the SUV with the highest towing capacity at 10,300 pounds. The Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer come in at 10,000 pounds. They are all giant SUVs quite a bit larger than the Traveler.

Every other SUV in the US has a lower than 10k pound towing capacity. If Scout pulls off a 10k towing for the Traveler BEV, that will be an impressive engineering coup. If they claim it with a Harvester, I won't believe it until I see the certification from SAE.

Scout has an advantage over many others with their body-on-frame construction. But size, mass, wheelbase, cooling, and mass distribution all conspire to make high towing capacities difficult for SUVs the size of the Scout Traveler.
