Oct 25, 2024

Scout Motors Inc. is back in action, rolling out a thrilling new chapter for off-road lovers with the introduction of the Scout® Traveler™ SUV and the Scout® Terra™ truck. These bold concept vehicles signal Scout’s fierce return to the automotive world, blending American know-how with iconic rugged design to tackle any terrain. Built-in Michigan and soon to be manufactured in South Carolina, the Traveler and Terra promise uncompromising durability and adventure at every turn. And here's the cherry on top: Scout's commitment to creating over 4,000 new American jobs, bringing craftsmanship and innovation together for a new era of all-American adventure.

Scott Keogh, President and CEO of Scout Motors, highlighted the significance of this launch: “Two years in the making, the day has finally come to share the next generation of Scout vehicles with the world. The original core idea — rugged, versatile vehicles capable of off-road adventure and family duty — is more relevant than ever. We couldn’t be prouder to revitalize this iconic American brand, create thousands of American jobs, and put American ingenuity back to work.”

The Scout Traveler and Terra are designed to appeal to a broad audience, from off-road enthusiasts to everyday drivers who value functionality and ruggedness. Chris Benjamin, Chief Design Officer at Scout Motors, emphasized that the Scout brand is about empowering customers to do what they love. “A Scout vehicle should always be a helpful companion,” Benjamin explained. “It should always enable the customer to do the things they want to do and make their experience easier, better, faster.” The Traveler SUV and Terra truck offer distinct, bold designs that capture Scout's classic heritage while providing modern, purpose-built features. A standout design choice is the unique short front overhang, complemented by a long dash-to-axle ratio. This layout gives the vehicles a powerful stance, with the cabin’s visual weight intentionally shifted towards the rear.
