VW To Resurrect the IH Scout as an Electric Vehicle.

If we want to attack posser 'life style' people, who drive a jeep/scout/bronco, for being fake; we better watch out. Lot of folks have a tractor that aren't row cropping


Live and let live; you want a true rock climber, buy it, you want to run to the grocery store in a JD 8R, run to the store. you want to ride a bike, or drive an EV,; You do you

Oops. Wrong thread. But it's no different from the long one:

"You obviously haven’t spent much time stuck in traffic behind disabled cars. BTW “running out of juice in the Lincoln Tunnel” is just one example of thousands of traffic jam spots where an EV could run out of juice, and block traffic for a long time."


Sound familiar?

The difference between this and the other, longer one is that I read this one. I avoid the other out of respect for the OP, who already had #1 shut down.

How do all these threads end up like this? IH Scouts are cool. I am not in the market, but I like the idea of bringing them back. I dont want an EV, but I don't feel a need to attack them. I would prefer if this Scout was offered with a pretty basic, low trim, straight 6 cylinder, and maybe a 4 cylinder turbo diesel, and sure, offer an EV. Doesn't matter to me if it's soccer moms, or rock climbers buying them, it's their money.

Because people are generally intolerant of those who don't think just like they do. I wouldn't mind having one like the original AWD Scout.

But we don't know anybody like that, do we?

Such as who?

Lots of us. Heck wife drives a RT Charger, and she doesn't drag race; lots of F250s/F350s have never pulled more than a barbie jeep or 2 bags of play sand.

My personal truck, let's face it, lives in 2WD, and sees 4WD maybe 6 times per year; and is empty 95% of the time. The other 5%, it might be pulling a trailer, or have a jon boat in the bed, or haul quikcrete. I've pulled a compact TLB (something like the Kub L37 size) with a dodge durango or a Toyota Highlander.

I dont have to like your choices, but I also don't need to have an opinion on them either.

I dont want an EV, But I do think they might be helping push regular vehicles to innovate.

They also might work for a lot of people who are just looking for transportation.

Nothing says “save the planet “ , quite like an expensive 6,000 lb battery vehicle, built with no concerns to aerodynamics…just ready to tear up the wilderness.
I bet the more they sell, they healthier our planet.
