Latest Info On 2027 Scout Traveler And Terra EVs Looks Promising

Assembling and analyzing all the latest details on the most exciting electric 4x4s yet

Earlier this month, Scout Motors showed up at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with a lightly accessorized Traveler electric SUV. That, plus some other slow information drips from the company are starting to paint a clearer picture about the capabilities of both that vehicle, and its Terra electric pickup truck sibling. Let’s take a look at what’s new.

To recap, the reborn Scout brand (which is owned by Volkswagen but operates as an independent automaker) showed of its first two new trucks in October. And they are very much trucks, thanks to body-on-frame construction, a live rear axle, and even locking axle differentials front and rear. It looks as if these stand a good chance of becoming the first ever EV trucks suited to long-distance off-road travel and hard use in austere conditions. They look promising enough that I placed an order for the Terra the very moment order books opened. Deliveries are expected to start Q1, 2027.
