The One-Ton Problem with Scout’s Harvester Range Extender

  • 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.
If towing were my main use case, sure, that would do the trick. My main use case is driving an SUV around town on battery power most of the time, taking road trips frequently, off-roading occasionally, and hauling a small trailer that is >5k lbs occasionally. A Traveler meets the use case perfectly if it can do the towing. I don't really want to drive a pickup around all the time. Been there, done that.
This answer is confusing. You start by saying main use case is not towing. Use case is around town and occasionally a sub 5K trailer. Then you state if it can’t do the 7K you’re out, lol. If you need less than 5K it feels like you’re fine. Specs aren’t announced yet but it seems, based on your posts, the vehicles aren’t going to make you happy. They can’t be all things to all people, even to me, luckily you currently have a vehicle that meets your needs.
