What Are You Driving Now?

It might be interesting to see what the mix of folks here are currently driving. I feel like the Scout is going to draw from a wide range of folks.

Here is what I drive depending on the mood.

2021 VD ID.4 1st Edition (BEV)
2004 VW R32

My wife has a 2018 grand cherokee and I drive my '78 Traveler every chance I get. I travel for work or work from home so it has worked out, hoping to hold out till the Scout is released to have to buy another form of transportation. I previously had an 02 TJ, a 2015 GMC Canyon, 2003 GMC Yukon and 2000 Jeep Cherokee.

 

[Eswanson]

2007 FJ Cruiser is my daily and 1968 Scout 800 is my "whenever feasible"

 

[azollne2]

Pretending my Forester can offroad because wife won't let the kid ride in the LS Powered Scout

 

[Scoutbbqbourbon]

1970 Scout 800 which I drive every day. Looking forward to following this forum

 

[Tuff66]

My first car, which was (is) a Scout!



Try not to drive it much during the winter or rain. That's when resort back to our 2014 4Runner.

2019 VW Atlas 4Motion - family car

Both Touaregs run oversized BFG KO2 tires and both see dirt and sand.

Holy cow that trailer setup looks crazy! How's that feel going down the road?

Te setup works really well as the trailer is an ultralight and the loaded weight is only 7,500 lbs (in round numbers) at the scales. I don’t know how times goes so fast but between this and the trailer before it, we have been towing with either this Touareg or the VR6 before for 10 years now…(we got the V8 Touareg in 13’ as my wife took my VR6 Touareg after we got married in 2010 and that is what it took to get it back as I got tired of driving the little Jetta TDI I got her—was too low to the ground).

Have been in winds, horrible rough roads, and even been braked checked a few times by people looking for trouble, but the Touareg is sort of a mystery machine and does amazing-really no other way to put it…it is a dream setup.

That's great to hear. We have a 16RD we tow with the JLUR and I'm always worried our wheelbase is too short and it'll get squirrely. So far so good, but I'd be worried about anything more than like 19 with the wheelbase.
