The Scout Terra is an upcoming battery electric and range-extended full-size pickup truck to be produced by Scout Motors. It is the first of two models to be sold under the Scout brand, the other being the Traveler SUV.
Overview
In September 2021, reports of the Scout brand being potentially revived first appeared. Johan De Nysschen, then-CEO of Volkswagen Group of America, first floated the idea about an electric off-roader during a conversation with the media at a then-recent press event. Volkswagen gained control of the Scout trademark when Traton, the Volkswagen Group's commercial truck subsidiary, merged with Navistar in July 2021.[1] The Scout brand's revival was confirmed on May 11, 2022, when Volkswagen approved plans to form a new independent company for the United States dedicated to designing, developing, manufacturing, and marketing electric vehicles in the country.[2]
The Terra was officially unveiled on October 24, 2024, alongside the Traveler. It is a battery electric and range-extended full-size pickup truck that uses body-on-frame construction.
