Dimensions

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
I put in a Traveler reservation, but I'm concerned about the size. This would need to be a daily driver for me, and my work means I'm having to park in urban environments pretty frequently. That means tight parallel parking, smaller spaces and narrower road lanes.

Out of curiosity, I did a scaling exercise on both the 360 images and the dimensions illustration from the website. I scaled it on the tire height assuming 35". This gave me measurements closer to 196" length from front bumper to edge of spare and 84" width measured at the front fender flares. Height was pretty close to what is listed. Obviously everything is still a bit in flux, but if it ends up being truly as big as the dimensions are listed on the site, I may end up having to sadly pass.
Smart. I tried to do something similar but came out less. In retrospect, I think your numbers are better.
 
It’s nearly identical in size to the new Hummer SUV, I think the Scout looks much and in reveal videos it doesnt appear to be nearly as big when a person is next to it. I wonder if the dimensions (specifically the width) are accurate on the website
Yeah I saw the ev hummer in a showcase and it didn’t look too big. I really don’t think parking will be that much of an issue. I’m all for the size!

Try driving this in Philly or DC, the traveler is actually about the same size while being taller & thats going to be a problem in parking garages

You simply will never please everybody. But I have to chime in just to try to prevent the Traveler from being changed to something I find far less desirable.

ITS TOO TALL - no, it's not. It may be too tall for some people granted, especially if you are used to driving a car. But tall is relative. My F250 with stock sized tires and stock suspension is 83" tall (before the roof rack I put on top of that. My LJ is shorter - about 73" before the roof rack - but it is still 83" with the rack. My wife's Rubicon is right at 76" as well - abet that is with 35" tires (it was factory 33").

If you compare this to other full sized SUVs and trucks - it is sized accordingly (if anything slightly smaller, only 2 rows of seats, only a 5.5' bed). My biggest fear before the reveal is it would be sub sized - andother miniture immitation of the real thing. In all fairness - yes, it is taller than full sized SUV's - but they wanted it to claim "offroad" and those vehicles were never designed to be driven on anything worse than a poorly maintained farm to market road.

saying it was about the same size as a crew cab F250 is hogswash. That F250 is 30" longer than the Traveler with a tire sticking off it's tailgate. I would have to measure the exact F250 you drove - but my F250 (which is stock) is also 7" taller. Side by side it will dwarf the Traveler.

Honestly, it is shorter than the current single cab F150.

What???

The actual posted dimensions (Traveler w spare tire rack) by a Scout representative has it a inch longer and 2-3 inches taller than my F-250 Tremor with a Carli suspension and 35” tires

Length is 208” with carrier and 190.##” without optional carrier. Having seen it in person it is tall. It’s basically 76”. That said the proportions are beautiful. If it feels too big then it may feel too big from your perspective/needs and that’s cool. But strictly from design it is very well proportioned

My lifted F250 with 35”tires fits into a 74” max height car wash with room to spare and it’s like 203” with the hitch

Personally it’s large for our needs but I’m not complaining & it is bigger than our GV80 but such is life as long as it’s got great power boards like AMP dual motors ones
