Dimensions Traveler - Updated

[23Jeep4xe]

I put my reservation in for a Traveler..... then I found the dimensions. I really thought this would be a mid sized vehicle, closer to the size of my jeep. Unless the posted dimensions are off this this is huge! Surely the listed 91.6" width is a misprint... that's a foot and a half wider than my jeep, and over 5 1/2" wider than the new Hummer EV!

EDIT: Apparently the 91.6" is width with mirrors and without is 79.9". This makes much more sense, though it is still closer to the width of a Tahoe than a Jeep.

Here are some comparisons:

Reported dimensions
Scout Traveler
Height - 76.3
Width - 79.9
Length - 207.9

Jeep 4xe (4door)

Rivian R2

Length - 201

And then you have the handful of us that drive a Raptor and think wow that's skinny!

79.something is kind of normal for a full sized truck. I suspect they wanted a common platform for both the Traveler and the Terra - so it is the same. So yes, since the Tahoe/Suburban was also built on a truck frame - they are probably about the same width. The difference however is the Scout has more shoulders - so the interior will probably feel a bit smaller.

The Terra is about normal (if on the small side) for a full size pickup truck. And it’s pretty clear to me the Terra and Traveler share at least everything forward of the B pillars. Which means that the Traveleer ends up being notably wide for its segment, while the Terra is “mostly normal”.

79 in wide without mirrors is the same as a Honda Odyssey. And imo it makes the bench seat across the front make a lot more sense, as we’re talking at least 60-65in of interior hip/shoulder room (again, nearly full size truck width).

So it will be roomy, but not outlandish imo.

The OAL is 190.9” without the spare tire carrier, and 207.9” with it. So in length without the spare tire carrier it’s smaller than a Toyota Highlander by a few inches, but without the third row.

This diagram on the website is very misleading and should be changed.

I seriously thought I'd have to cancel my order this weekend because there's no way in hell I'd own a car wider than a Hummer EV. I was super relieved to find it's roughly the size of a VW Atlas...actually slightly shorter. Scout web team, please fix and/or add clarity.

In one of the other threads they mentioned the correct dimensions, and that they'd work to fix it.

At least in the dimensions text it has (or had?) the text of "207.9in length including optional spare tire carrier" or something like that.

But yes, it is misleading, and they should fix it.

The graphic itself is misleading as well. The dotted line clearly ends at the rear bumper and the tire extends well past it, yet they include the number for the whole tire.

There is a new updated graphic that will go live on the website in the next 24 hours. Sorry for the confusion.

Can we get approximate dimensions for the cargo area in Traveler?

Thanks

So the mirrors stick out almost an additional 6" beyond the fenders on each side? Those are some big mirrors!

I just now realized the new Traveler is almost the same size as my wife's non-XL Yukon Denali - Scout is beeeg and stronk!

Weird, I still get the old image on my side. I assume I'll get it sometime soon though .

Seems like people might be back at work again now after the reveal .

It cannot be unseen. Thanks....thanks for that, now all I see are dumbo ears.

Still say in person it doesn’t feel as big-which is a win-win in my book

Thanks @Jamie@ScoutMotors can you post this on the FAQ thread as well?

Comparing back to the original (1978 Scout II), the new Traveler is about 2 feet longer (without tire carrier) and 10 inches wider overall (body to body, not including mirrors), with 20 inches more wheelbase - that is beeeeg, roughly 15% bigger. With the tire carrier on it looks to be about 3 and half feet longer

Compared to my 2010 JKU Rubicon, it is 6.5 inches longer (without Traveler tire carrier, 2 feet longer with the spare outside), 6 inches wider not including mirrors, 4.4 inches more wheelbase - about 6% bigger overall.

I don't believe it will comfortably fit in my garage. My JKU barely fits and the Traveler with tire carrier using current numbers is 2 feet longer - I'll need to move a refrigerator and freezer at the minimum.

I'm in a similar situation. The bollards in front of the water heater limit my garages length to 204in (which would be touching both the garage door, and the bollard, so realistic limit is a few in smaller than that). I think the option to put the spare tire a few other locations (in the rear trunk area behind the hatch, and also the underbody option) will really help with that aspect.

Its amazing that the spare tire carrier adds ~17in in OAL.
