Scout Dimensions Updated On Our Website

[Jamie@ScoutMotors]

We have updated the dimensions of the concept vehicles on our website to be clearer. I would only add that while these concepts are 85-90% accurate, there could be minor changes with the production models (different side mirror designs, overall height that varies with wheel and suspension setup, etc.,etc.).

TRAVELER:

TERRA:

To add some comparisons...

Scout II
Width: 65.4"
Height: 70"
Length: 166.2"
Wheelbase: 100"

I may add to this to compare against current competition.

To add some modern comparisons the Traveler seems to slot between the R2 and R1S in size with a lean towards R1S.

@Jamie@ScoutMotors will the spare tire carrier be easily removable? Overall length is pushing it for my garage, but without it, it would definitely fit. I'd store it until I needed it.

After seeing this, I'd like to see an option to store a spare 35" in the cargo area as it takes up ~17inches on the back end.

We can't say for certain yet, but there are discussions that it will be optional. Of course, this is all subject to change.

Hoping the tire carrier is optional. On a daily driver that's not constantly going into the wilderness I could see it being cumbersome having to swing open a heavy wheel/rack every time you want to use the trunk in addition to reduced visibility and garage restrictions.

That said I could see hitch mounted tire carriers as a solid middle ground and a nice addition to the accessories catalog. Achieves same result w/swing out option and the beauty is you can detach/store it when not needed.

I’m willing to deal with all that comes with the rear mount stock tire carrier for several reasons, but for those not interested you offer a good in-between solution I’d say.

On the bright side, you may not need to open the back as often as you think since there is a fairly spacious looking frunk up front.

I like that. I always liked that Acura sized their cars in between competitors. Allowed them to price to similar smaller model competitors while offering more space

The drag coefficient would be horrible to boot. If they want to get that targeted 350kWh on BEV, it needs to be removable. Otherwise they will loose range. This goes the same with Terra needing a bed cover. It should all be about aerodynamic drag coefficient, this will help keeping the cost of battery down as well. Hopefully they can save on material and hopeful be a little more affordable to more people.

The rear carrier is not in the airflow, so really won't affect aerodynamics.

It adds weight. Weight is just as important to air drag coefficient.

What?

The air does not care what your vehicle weighs... It's simply the shape. The same shape if it weight 1000 or 10000 lbs would have the same drag coefficient.

Maybe the spare tire can fit in the front trunk (frunk) with an angled mounting bracket... as an option.

Not to counter what @Jamie@ScoutMotors said, but I did hear several times from multiple sources that the spare tire carrier would be optional. Jamie is also correct that we are still a long way out from production models and their options.

If you read the threads you’ll see the standard vehicle with 32/33 wheels mounts under the vehicles. The carrier is an option (as mentioned multiple times at the reveal event). Buyers choice if they want it. If 35’s on terra it gets a bed mount

It appears the tire carrier is going to depend on tire size and other options like Harvester.

35’s were shown on the reveal vehicles (this size will apparently require the tire carrier).

32’s will be apparently be available from the factory (and will fit under the vehicle, but perhaps only if it does not have the Harvester generator)

Scott said during the reveal that the vehicle can potentially go bigger than 35’s.

Someone at the event was told 37’s are expected to be offered (I think I heard that on the Real Mum Car Tours Youtube video). If so, they’d need a bigger tire carrier.

Pretty please with sugar on top, I am offering consumer feedback that while it is a neat feature, it is suboptimal for an urban street parking situation and for seeing out the rear window. Do not want.

I heard 37’s twice at event but NO idea where you store those as a spare. The carrier is great but the 35 in the carrier was very snug as width goes
