Trailer Options?

  • 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 know we won’t see detailed performance/range impact numbers for the Terra and Traveler for a while but the projected 10k and 7k towing capacity is impressive. Do we have any projections on the GVWR numbers to get a better idea on what real world applications will be like? I feel like a light overland trailer that has a small cabin or mounts for a rooftop tent (or both) with added water, fuel, and maybe even an expanded battery bank to help offset the decrease in performance caused by pulling the trailer would pair really well with the traveler for ‘Getting out in a Scout’ adventures.

Nothing probably exists now on the market but it would not be too challenging for a shop to build something small with matching body lines and ground clearance to the Scout so it would look like they really belong together when cruising down the road or for the first new Scout to tackle the TAT (TransAmerica Trail).
 
Based on other similar electric vehicles (Lightning, R1T, R1S) with similar ranges, you can expect the BEV to have a GVWR between about 7500 to 8500 pounds with a payload of between about 1500 and 2000 pounds.

Here you go
 
This is a bit dated and great to show several off-road trailers but these are all very small and for 3,500 pound towing capacity Jeep wranglers and I only mention this because worst case senirio the Harvester Scouts will be able to handle hardsided standups with interior wet bath and gray and fresh water tanks. Also Xgrid in Vegas carries other off road trailers as well.

This overland trailer does exactly that:

<rant>Why can't blog posts or article like these include publication dates? It is so annoying to see something like this an not be able to tell, until you start following the links to products, that the article was written X years ago. And now all the products suggested are either no longer available or have been replaced with newer (and much different) models.</rant>

Sorry to rant, this has happened to me a few times in the last couple of weeks and it is just getting on my nerves. Thanks for the article R1TVT and additional info BartMan.
