Will the Terra have an air suspension and have the ability to self level when in a camping mode like the R1T? This feature is very useful when camping with a RTT on the bed.

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 don’t think you will need any of that technology because Scout will be 2 motor AWD/4WD automatic anti-slip 2027 technology. I have a 2018 AWF Ridgeline and it always knows what to do and never spins a tire.
I admit to being terminally confused by the terminology and also no longer being enough of a gearhead to delve into the engineering distinctions. I'm sure that much of the confusion comes from different manufacturers having used the same term to describe what are actually different setups. I recall that a decade or so ago Subaru put out a paper trying to clarify, and claiming theirs' is the real thing. Of course that was met with a lot of automotive pundits saying 'but not really.' IH was good at confusing/misleading us, too. I have four almost identical spec Scouts in my garage, all have the "AllWheelDrive" emblem on the front fenders. One has no warn hubs, #2 had PowrLok both front and back, #3 has PowrLok in rear only, #4 has no PowrLock in either differential. So which one is REAL 4WD?
What I also recall is that not too many decades ago there existed a useful snow/ice 4WD technique to improve traction by gently touching the brake pedal enough to fool the computers into believing that it would be useful to send a power to all the wheels. But then those powers that believe they can protect us from every possible indiscretion decided that too many elderly folk were crashing into restaurants by being on the wrong pedal or bridging the two. So they broke that technique by making just a hint of brake disable the accelerator.
Yes, I know EV and it's electric motors changed all I ever knew; so all I ask is that whatever the engineers design and whatever SM calls it, I want a clear explanation of exactly what it does, and under what conditions some computer will just do what it wants despite my hopes and intentions.
This is great info! Can't wait until I can see one in person and start customizing for my reservation.SCOUT TERRA FAQ

Our Scout support teams have set up a central location for all questions regarding the company, products, reservations and more it can be found here:
The Scout support link above will always have the latest official answers.
We will do our best to maintain a "greatest hits" FAQ in the Scout Community to help answer some of the most frequent questions here in the forums.
Q: Where can I find more information about the Scout Terra?
A: https://www.scoutmotors.com/terra
Q: How can I place a reservation?
A: https://www.scoutmotors.com and click on "RESERVATION" in the upper right-hand corner.
Q: Why are Scout vehicles fully electric?
A: New Scout vehicles are designed to be equipped with electric powertrains that push capability and performance into the future while aiming to reduce environmental impact. These powertrains would enhance off-road capabilities with instant torque and precise control, delivering better performance than traditional gas vehicles.
With an electric powertrain, we intend to deliver exceptional off-road capability, massive torque for towing and working, and top-tier ride quality. Plus, it enables useful features like powering accessories off-site -- whether for tailgating, camping, or working remotely -- or even powering your home during a power outage. We’ve perfectly blended our rugged heritage with cutting-edge technology to create a Scout vehicle ready for today’s adventures and tomorrow’s challenges.
Q: Will a gas-burning or hybrid version be available in the future?
A: Scout Motors is focus on electric vehicles because we believe it's the best way to deliver peak performance, capability, and sustainability. Electric powertrains offer instant torque, enhanced off-road capabilities, and integrated features like powering accessories or even homes — capabilities that gas-powered or hybrid vehicles can’t match.
We understand some drivers may have concerns about battery range, so in addition to our fully electric models, we expect offer options with a gas-powered range extender (REX) system to extend the vehicle's maximum range from a projected estimate of up to 350 miles (563 km) to more than 500 miles (804 km), based on manufacturers internal estimates. EPA estimates will be provided when available.
Q: Can I provide feedback or input on Scout vehicles?
A: Yes, right here in our Scout Community forums. Our teams regularly read the forums here and respond to many suggestions and questions.
Q: Where are you building the new Scout vehicles?
A: At a brand new Scout Production Center in Blythewood, South Carolina.
Q: How much will Scout vehicles cost?
A: Entry-model Scout vehicles are expected to be priced starting under $60,000. We'll be sharing more details about pricing as we get closer to production. Pricing is subject to change.

*Dimensions are approximate and subject to change. They may not accurately represent production vehicle sizes or all available trims and offerings.
Q: What level of off-road capability will Scout vehicles have?
A: Scout vehicles are designed to be highly capable off-road, featuring high ground clearance and excellent approach, departure, and breakover angles. They are projected to come standard with dual motors for four-wheel drive, a solid rear axle, a locking rear differential, and off-road drive modes. Plus, the bumpers and rockers are separated from the body and are designed to act as protective elements.
For even more capability, customers will be able to select an optional off-road package, which includes off-road tires, special shock tuning, a locking front differential, and more. Scout vehicles will also offer a front sway bar disconnect, designed to improve wheel articulation, comfort, and traction on uneven terrain – offering the best of both on-road and off-road handling. Final details will be confirmed as we approach production.
Q: What manufacturer estimated range will Scout vehicles offer?
A: Scout Motors estimates the Traveler™ SUV and Terra™ pickup will have up to 350 miles (563 km) of all-electric range or more than 500 miles (804 km) for gas-powered range extender-equipped versions. These are manufacturer's projected estimate based on internal targets. EPA estimates will be provided when available.
Q: How will the Harvester™ range extender work?
A: To account for different work needs, we're planning to offer the choice of two energy systems: an all-electric system, or a gas-powered range extender called Harvester™. The Harvester™ Range Extender is a generator packaged in the vehicle platform that will recharge the vehicle's high voltage battery. It unlocks the ability to refuel anywhere and extend the expected range to over 500 miles (based on manufacturer estimates, EPA estimates will be provided when available.).
Q: What is the projected ground clearance for Scout vehicles?
A: Scout vehicles are projected to offer over 1 foot of ground clearance. These are preliminary specifications and may change. They may not accurately represent production vehicle sizes or all available trims and offerings. Final details will be confirmed as we approach production.
Q: What water fording capability will Scout vehicles offer?
A: Both Scout models are engineered for high water fording performance, with a projected ability to wade through and traverse water depths of nearly 3 feet.
Q: Will Scout vehicles offer a front bench seat?
A: Yes. We plan for customers to choose between a multifunctional console or a front bench seat—both options will be available to order in the Traveler™ and Terra™ models.

I was going to say it doesn’t look raked like a 4Runner.
