The Terra pickup and Traveler SUV share a lot of features. They're built on a custom EV body-on-frame platform. Both vehicles use an 800-volt electrical system. Scout says they'll be able to charge at speeds up to 350 kW, potentially going from 10-80% battery in less than 20 minutes. They'll use Tesla's North American Charging System (NACS) plug.
The most powerful version of these Scouts will have a motor for each wheel. This quad-motor setup can make the vehicles zip from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in just 3.5 seconds and produce nearly 1,000 lb-ft (1,355 Nm) of torque. For serious off-roading, they'll have a solid rear axle and locking front and rear differentials.
Scout has made sure these vehicles can handle tough terrain. In their most capable versions, they'll have over a foot (about 305 mm) of ground clearance and can fit 35-inch tires. They can also drive through three feet (914 mm) of water and come with a full-size spare tire.
Scout Traveler SUV And Terra Pickup Concepts
The Terra pickup can tow over 10,000 lbs (4,535 kg) and has a 2,000 lb (907 kg) payload capacity. Its 5.5-foot (1,67 meters) bed includes a 240-volt outlet, perfect for powering tools or appliances at a worksite or campground.
Prices for the Scout Terra will start around $51,500 with tax credits, or under $60,000 without.
The Traveler SUV can tow over 7,000 lbs (3,175 kg) and also has a 2,000 lb (907 kg) payload. Its standout feature is a massive retractable "Cabana Top," giving it one of the largest roof openings of any SUV. If you prefer, you can opt for a panoramic roof instead.
The Scout Traveler will start as low as $50,000 with tax credits, or under $60,000 without.
Both vehicles will offer a range of up to 350 miles (563 km) on a full charge. Scout is also considering an extended-range version, which would use a small gas engine to generate electricity for a longer trips up to 500 miles (804 km). In a nod to the brand's history, Scout calls the gasoline generator the "Harvester." It never directly powers the wheels, though, separating this from a hybrid design.
Production of these new Scouts is set to begin in 2027.
