Scout Concepts in Seattle, Washington, May 9, 2026

[J Alynn]

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

Even as far back as the reveal they noted one will be added. Don’t make it in time for prototype so hasn’t been added yet. And I agree we all need a drivers side OS handle

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.

Yes, I was asking specifically about the Harvesters towing capacity as there was concern about the reduced towing capability for the Terra previously.

I use mine more for egress, but to each their own.
