Size of the traveler?

  • 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.

So I am a tall guy 6 foot 8 inches, I have reserved a traveler. This is what I used to own, it was sold when I was on deployment. I am praying that this doesn’t true into something like a bronco sport that there is no way in hell I’ll fit in. lol I also hope I have the option of going with a manual transmission. Can anyone give me some feedback back on the size and optional transmission? Thanks

It’s an EV and therefore, no transmission, if anything about Scout is like existing EVs. The Traveler is massive, so perhaps they’ll have a bracket option for 6’-6”+ drivers.
Let’s hope so, and I never thought about the no transmission. I wonder how that would work with the 4x4, I guess I’ve never really looked into the EV 4x4 question.

They seem to be approaching things mechanically, with the rear axle set up. Many modern, and often quite capable AWD platforms utilize traction control / ABS / hill-descent control to manage tires not in contact with the surface and differential slip.

The EV typically has a speed controller and no transmission. Scout Motors may be able to explain their hybridized drivetrain approach, which does tout dual motors.
