Ehhhh… Some folks will for sure find it useful, like if they do a lot of towing or live in Wyoming. I think by the time these hit the streets, with a NACS charging port (and presumably access to Tesla's network), and the number of charging stations built out by then, most folks won't even bother with the PHEV version.
The bench seats are awesome, for sure! But I'm wondering if there's an airbag for that middle occupant or where it would come from since there's a big infotainment screen there.
As an early Cybertruck reservation rejector, I have been looking at alternatives to that refrigerator on wheels and this had me with the looks, name, specs and price. Made an immediate reservation and barring some really bad news, it will likely be my next and perhaps last vehicle purchase. I had an International Travelall back in the 1960's and it was a great and reliable hauler of stuff. I'm a fan of the brand and can't wait for actual order and delivery.
Same here, Found out that the 50K cybertruck reservation I had with all the promised features by Tesla were out the window. Plus the years of delays, less range and price hike (forgot how much more they wanted) turned me off to Tesla all together! Crossing my finger for this one (last vehicle for me too).
The family that ran the dairy across the road where I live owned a Scout International truck. They hauled equipment trailers, shovels, tools, pitchforks and all sorts of stuff on the dash. Receipts from the vet, nuts and bolts 🔩, gloves and lots of dust and hay. It always had a trail of blue smoke and no muffler. I wish the company well!
The SUV version is a home run with its exterior styling, I had a scout back in 74, it was great off road, but very basic vehicle, this new version is plush
My enthusiastic interest in the Scout coming back to the road was squashed by it being an electric vehicle. Sad, they had a good audience for a true durable Scout with a gas powered engine instead of an electric or hybrid.
The bronco truck appears to be a piece of crap problematic thing even after the redo of it. How many people with experience of soft tops or removable hard tops don't actually want to have anything to do with them. They want a nice clean proper non-removable hardtop that is dust-tight watertight weather resistant and clean. Most people never want to have the roof off except for maybe one or two trees for the novelty and then it's like screw it
oh please bring this to Australia ... our family channel at MEDA Family would totally review and promote every inch of this vehicle across all down under conditions
If you compare the timeline of the VW deal and teh presentation, i dont think you would get fully working prototypes in that ammount of time, the development surpassed that deal long before
I was excited until I found out it was electric. But PLEASE make one that is NOT electric. This is like taking a dump on the original. Gas is still KING.
Love the boxy SUV design! I would NOT opt for a glass roof or leather seats. Regarding the rear hatch, I find that a rear-mounted tire often requires a swing door. I’d prefer if the tire were mounted underneath, allowing the rear hatch to open upwards and out of the way. Overall, a handsome SUV-very reminiscent of the Rivian R1S.
I love these. The design inside and out and if they get the range and price right, they have a hit on their hands. These products show that VW is tired of losing in the US market.
@@cryptosolaris1217 because there was never a 4 door ihc scout 80/800 or ii 😂 the travelall had a 4 door in the original ihc light line... This thing is a homage to a facade 😂
This is the first EV that actually appeals to me! I would definitely go the gas extended range version to eliminate any potential range anxiety. They knocked the design out of the park. I absolutely love the body on frame, real axles, and off road hardware. Design cues harking back to classic pickup trucks is icing on the cake! Sign me up!
I think this is a question I hope VW answers in its planning. Does the motor warm up the cold battery during winter, or does it heat the vehicle when remotely started? If the motor can be removed, what is its purpose? If it's a stand-alone generator, how does it offset the weight of the motor, like a mini crane? Can the motor serve other purposes, and is its cooling, exhaust, and fuel system self-contained or adaptable for different fuels? If the motor I’d like to know if it's possible to increase voltage output in a vehicle. I’d love to hear people's thoughts on this. If it is regularly removed, can the case have a protected shell so that in transport, it is not damaged?
Definitely looks like re-skinned R1T and R1S, but in a good way. And those interiors are gorgeous!! The harvester range extender is going to be a game changer, too. I've been a truck guy all my life. I've been wanting to get a truck EV, but Rivian is too expensive, and the others are both too expensive and have design flaws I couldn't bring myself to live with. I really, REALLY hope these Scouts are as good in production as they look on the screen right now, and that they keep to the teased price points (unlike Cybertruck - teased $40K, actual $100K).
Was so excited when I heard the news. Did some research, much to my surprise I was highly disappointed and feel like this is a huge disgrace to the name Scout. Why go electric?
The gas powered engine to provide electricity for the electric motors is interesting. But after you've gone your 350 me or whatever and can't charge anymore I wonder how long/how far you can really drive for just off electrical generation from the gas engine and at what speed🤔
I'm shopping this week for a new truck. I was temporarily excited about the prospect of this vehicle and willing to wait to purchase a new vehicle and drive my Silverado a few more years. Until... Electric. Nope. I'll wait to see how the range extender version works out. But 2024 Silverado it is.
@@downix No. I don’t want an gas generator hooked to some batteries and an electric motor. I want a gas engine that goes through an actual transmission (auto or manual) through actual differentials to actual axles like a traditional ICE car.
I love the aesthetic, power, and especially the size/leg room. They just have to give me a detachable hard top and get rid of that ugly accordion soft top, and I’m sold!
Like everything else, estimated prices will seem reasonable, but when released will be grossly over priced….and that wont put into consideration of dealer markup.
First fully electric vehicle I’d actually buy. That thing is rad. Rivian is too small and the CT is like a golf cart interior coors light can exterior. And musk can get bent.
My whole thing about the scout is the design is impressive. But all electric 😢 if they would have brought it back with a gas powered engine sales would have gone crazy. I don't have to have a degree to tell ya that..
They look amazing..But if you're buying an EV because you're concerned about emissions you should just walk and take transit because EVs don't reduce emissions. They go through tires and brake pads faster than ICE vehicles and getting the necessary minerals out of the ground to power them is anything but environmentally conscious.
I am in the market for something like this, but this is a hard no for me. Electric? Batteries hate the cold, so how’s that gonna work in the snow? It’s gonna be heavy with those batteries, so it’s gonna sink in anything softer than a hard packed dirt road. Fording a stream? Better hope they sealed those batteries really well cuz it’s gonna burn like a road flare if not. If they offered me the option of getting one with the 2.8 Cummins crate motor that people are swapping in the 80 series Land Cruiser, I might be a “maybe” but I’m out. All the heritage is gone if they’re gonna turn the brand into something soccer moms commute in. ☹️☹️☹️
They brought in a group of guys, including the owner of Super Scout Specialties, that kept the nameplate alive, former employees and owners that really seemed to push VW/Scout Motors to keep it true to the original. This thing is going to fly off the lots, if they follow through on features and pricing.
The old ihc has a fully boxed frames, solid axles, and stout drivetrain for working. This thing is a throw away consumer trash clone ripping off the heritage 😂 nothing ihc in this pos
@@scottleggejr Guess we’ll see, since this is body on frame, solid axles, and will have to have a stout drivetrain to handle 1,000 lb/ft of torque. 🤷🏼♂️
This is five to ten years too late: sharply cooling EV sales + multiple EV startups struggling. And they look, in video, very similar to the Rivian offerings. What's the competitive advantage?
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
That harvester range extender is absolutely unique in the US. That is going to make this truck a great success. Very excited!
I wonder if they have a design yet, or just a concept for the extender.
Ram did it first
Ehhhh… Some folks will for sure find it useful, like if they do a lot of towing or live in Wyoming.

BYD already has this
@@CinematicNow No one cares about chyna.
No Gas motor , no sale , was so exited when I seen Scout was coming back then electric made me vomit
Impressive. Rivian is going to have competition based on the specs and pictures.
not exactly, Rivian makes the software and likely some of the components for the Scout. So they will be successful if Scout is successful!
Bench seats! 😍
The bench seats are awesome, for sure! But I'm wondering if there's an airbag for that middle occupant or where it would come from since there's a big infotainment screen there.

This is not that same vehicle by a long shot

I'm interested in seeing how they plan to make it easier to self service, as they mentioned
My enthusiastic interest in the Scout coming back to the road was squashed by it being an electric vehicle. Sad, they had a good audience for a true durable Scout with a gas powered engine instead of an electric or hybrid.
They need to change the headlights. Make them circular like the old ones. Also, a removable top like the Bronco would be perfect.

oh please bring this to Australia ... our family channel at MEDA Family would totally review and promote every inch of this vehicle across all down under conditions
More of this dude! Autotrader...y'all have a winner!
Compete with Rivian? How is it not completely obvious that these actually are Rivians? Do you really believe VW paid 5 billon for just software?
Yes. Trust me I work at Scout. This was literally all built before the VW Rivian deal. That deal is only software.
Exactly
That deal literally happened out of nowhere, I work for VW and it was a complete shock to everyone in the silicon valley @arcostonian
If you compare the timeline of the VW deal and teh presentation, i dont think you would get fully working prototypes in that ammount of time, the development surpassed that deal long before
@@arcostonianSo what's the inside scoop, we really gotta wait 3 more years?! 😢
Would have loved to see a removable top
I was excited until I found out it was electric. But PLEASE make one that is NOT electric. This is like taking a dump on the original. Gas is still KING.
i was so disappointed to find out it was electric, yes it is a dump on the original
Same, no thanks for electric
Electric is not the way, when is everyone going to realize this!!!!
They are literally Rivians with redesigned body, no secret :)
Those look tough! '27 release is way in the future!
Cool vehicle, but they absolutely need a gasoline version.
Every ev should have that small engine that will give extra range on your ev cars.
It doesn't make sense on smaller EV that won't tow or go offroad.
With an 800volt architecture and nacs 350mi range is enough for 95% of the people.
These prototypes are nice, I wonder how much different the production models will be
i hope it's not another overpromise/underdeliver/overprice.
This isn’t Tesla
The looks are amazing. Love from india .
V8 please!

It would be awesome to have this in Australia - we would be more than happy to promote, test and review it in all conditions here down under 😊
With all that battery how heavy are they?
I love these. The design inside and out and if they get the range and price right, they have a hit on their hands. These products show that VW is tired of losing in the US market.
They won't get the price right.😅
The most iconic things about the Scout were removable top and solid axles. At least the Bronco got one right.
You mean the current Bronco with a horrible reputation? Is that what you mean?
Yes, current. The old Broncos were great
Price adjustment...100000$
Good news is it won’t be sold by dealers and will be direct to customers
That sounds about right. They $60k one will be stripped down low range base model
Direct purchase is going to put the kibosh on Dealer Added Incentives. If they keep the pricing and features, this thing is going to be a home run.
@@horuslupercal3872yeah ? That‘s really good news if its true man, fuck em dealerships
Sure, I have an extra 100k just lying around, not to mention Insurance costs. No thanks
With the gas regeneration option, will this have the ability to FULLY RECHARGE the Scout? Or just extend range.
Look great. Would only buy if it ran on gas or diesel!
The Scout is back ! ... it looks fantastic outside, inside and it looks solid ! It's been 44 years, ... and another 3 years to go.
We’re all still Eager to pay 70k for a truck
Come on scout make a 2 door!
That would be sweet
Nice two door Bronco you have
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 thank you and I work for international if it was gas and or at least a 2 door I would get a scout
Why the hell would you want a 2 door?!!!

Just seen one at the South Carolina vs Mizzou game and I definitely want to get one of these in a few years it looked great
The Hybrid is highly tempting.
Looks promising. Who will sell and service the vehicles?
Put in a V8, and it will become unstoppable. You lost me at electric.
SAME!! Battery tech is still CRAP!! Lead acid is still number one it can be recycled not Lithium Ion the waste is almost as bad as nuclear waste !!
Put a deposit down for the Terra! I currently have a Rivian R1T quad motor and its been my favorite car. Looking forward to the Terra
oh dang they say 60k then its going to start at 90k unless they sell directly to consumers
but can it OTA updates?
Interior looks so good
I wish Tesla made something like this😢

Wish it wasn’t electric
And that’s the last time we will hear about it 🎉
……can you imagine the Traveler with 74 Weld portals and some 37-38” tires. 😊
Was so excited when I heard the news. Did some research, much to my surprise I was highly disappointed and feel like this is a huge disgrace to the name Scout. Why go electric?
Looked really good but the price would be 100k by the time it release
...or more if a vw bus starts at $62k...
They better not.
The gas powered engine to provide electricity for the electric motors is interesting. But after you've gone your 350 me or whatever and can't charge anymore I wonder how long/how far you can really drive for just off electrical generation from the gas engine and at what speed🤔
Well that went straight to the bottom of the puchase list its ELECTRIC nope aint happening this is not going to go well in sales LOL !
They look gorgeous and numbers sound great. Can't wait to see these on the road.
They really look nice. It's a shame people don't want to buy electric. These will probably get built and sit around like everything else electric.
My first vehicle was a 1970 International Scout.
Vw scout .amazing
Both look very nice 👍🏼👍🏼
Wow!! Stunning vehicle!! 500 mile range 1000lb ft torque! Even though its 60k thats not bad considering the price of trucks today. Im in!!!
If those are the real prices, I’ll probably get that SUV
You lost me at EV
So this is what the rivian money went
Immediately excited then they said electric im out 😂 another all electric suv

Beautiful rig, its a shame they didnt make an option for a naturally aspirated gasoline engine or at least a diesel...
Did you even pay attention?
The CEO at the event and previously has said ICE engines aren’t totally out. And this is just the beginning of reveals for the brand.

Range extender is not the same.
@@dillonh321 a gas engine isn't good enough for you unless you strap it to a manual gearbox?

If you get the Harvester Extender version a 7 speed manual gearbox is included 😂😂😂
35’s are not enough. We need 37’s 😂
This looks like rivian! Both exterior and interior
So VW gave Rivian 5 billion so they can remake the R1T and R1s and put it under Scout Motors.
Not directly since the scout is body on frame, and the rivian have unibody.
Learned to drive in a scout so I’ll definitely be looking into one
