What's going on with this scout. Looks nice.
And Chevy built the next-generation Small Block Ford (AKA, the LS)

I like it more than I thought I would. 35’s, front and rear lockers and 1000 ft lbs of torque is pretty cool. With mechanical diffs and a solid rear axle you can’t help but wonder if they’re leaving the door cracked open for a gas engine.
Bonus points for offering an optional bench seat.

It seems to me if you’re going to have an electric motor at each wheel, they should be on swing arms. That way it would have ground clearance like portals. Electric is fine if it can compete in a free market. I just don’t want any grants or tax breaks for them.

This doesn’t have a motor at each wheel. It has a solid rear axle and IFS with apparently traditional differentials and motor at each end. That’s what makes me think they’re giving it the capability of fitting an ICE.
Damn, that's a good size vehicle to build a smog-exempt V8 ripper out of

Kinda interested in the extended range EV version. Maybe Ford or Dodge will get theirs out before this one.

Happen to checking this out on the Tube right now. Actually not bad at all. My brain is glitching a little over the frunk.

The whole website is full of AI BS, and all the press pictures has solar flare like a god damn marvel movie!

Oh Yeah: Scout's Electric Trucks Will Have Optional Front Bench Seat
Among the Scout Traveler and Terra's many old-school features, the optional front bench seat is a surprising throwback. More of this!

Kid on The Fast Lane video hoped they'd put a VW four cylinder in it. If the engine is only charging the battery, does it need to be a 4 cylinder?

I think it looks better than the new Bronco.

I read or watched something about the Ram version not having enough power to supply the battery when under towing. So for normal driving probably not, but actual truck use you probably need a bigger engine.
Whoever comes out with one, I'm stoked on being able to have a truck that gets 100 miles on shore power then switch to gas/electric fir longer trips.

It's stupid. As a Scout owner the whole rig exists around a removable top.
It will. Never compete with wrangler or Bronco and it looks like a Jeep Cherokee.
Maybe in 20 years I'll buy one chop the roof off, cage it, SAS it, and beat the Piss out of it... With a real engine. Fuck the frunk.

We’ll see what happens between now and whenever these things are available. I do believe that my bronco is more of a scout than the new scout.
