The Scout Terra is a full-size pickup and the second debut model from Scout Motors, Volkswagen Group’s revived American off-road brand. At 5,822 mm long on a 3,774 mm wheelbase, with a 5.5-foot (1.68 m) bed, more than 10,000 lb (4,535 kg) of towing and close to 2,000 lb (900 kg) of payload, it is sized against the established full-size American trucks.
It shares its powertrain choices with the Traveler SUV. The battery-electric version has up to 350 miles (563 km) of projected range and, in its quickest form, a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds; Scout has not published battery capacities or a DC charging rate yet. Harvester is the extended-range option: around 150 miles (240 km) on electricity alone, with a Volkswagen Group four-cylinder petrol engine working only as a generator for more than 500 miles (800 km) in total.
Both versions use four-wheel drive with locking differentials. The design draws on the original Scout II of the 1970s, with square body lines and a front bench that seats up to six. It charges through a NACS port and carries a 240-volt onboard power outlet. Scout sells direct, with pricing expected to start under $60,000 before incentives. Scout targets initial production in 2027 at its plant in Blythewood, South Carolina, and first deliveries in 2028; forecaster AutoForecast Solutions expects the Terra to follow the Traveler much later, in March 2030.
