Scout Motors, revived by Volkswagen Group after acquiring the International Harvester nameplate, is presenting its debut lineup: the Traveler SUV and the Terra pickup. Both are body-on-frame with 35-inch tires from the factory and serious off-road hardware baked in from day one.
The full EV version targets 350 miles of range. A range-extender version called the Harvester packages a small fuel tank and four-cylinder engine behind the rear axle, pushing total range past 500 miles for road trips without EV routing stress. The engine doesn't drive the wheels directly; it recharges the battery.
Tactile switches sit below the touchscreen for eyes-free muscle-memory control while driving off-road. An optional front bench seat is a deliberate nod to the original International Scout trucks from the 1960s and 70s. Scout's CEO also notes a full suite of accessories is planned, including extra storage configurations for the bed.
