«We are here to celebrate the revival of an American icon and the return of jobs to America», - Keogh added. «On this land — with our hands and our technology — we will build magnificent cars».
In October 2024, Scout unveiled its new SUV called the «Traveler». Production of the Traveler will begin in 2027, along with the Terra truck. The company explained that the SUV is expected to be able to tow 700 pounds.
The Traveler SUV will also come equipped with a rear spare tire carrier and will cost less than $ 60,000. Customers will be able to hit the road in the SUV in 2028.
Like the SUV, the Terra is also expected to be available from 2028 and should cost less than $ 60,000. According to Scout, both the Terra and the SUV will have a range of 350 miles on a single charge, according to Car and Driver
