Except for their reliability…Jeep seems to be better at staying true to the originals
Unfortunately, that is all that is selling. I would love to have a new IH pickup with real 4WD, as simple as 1970, but I am afraid those would not sell, because the youngsters of today would not know how to roll down the window or open the door from the inside...Just like the new Bronco, Land Cruiser, and Land Rover, it's gone upscale...
PS, yes. My travelall has 4 tanks, totalling 70 gallons! It's far more complex than the Bonanza!Unfortunately, that is all that is selling.

Anyone remember how to switch the fuel tanks from the left one to the right one on an old IH pickup.??
I know I'll regret asking, but why?EV? Yea, that’s gonna be a no from me dawg

Fair enough, thanks for the answer.Electric just ain’t my bag, baby. Specially off road, my man.
Interestingly, Scout is a wholly owned subsidiary of VW. VW recently made a $5billion investment into Rivian with the intent on sharing technology .Rivian R1S is the benchmark, so we'll see how they compare.
They're talking about adding a range extender so it'll maybe be both.Maybe with a diesel never EV
Well, that does it for me. I'll never buy a new scout then.Interestingly, Scout is a wholly owned subsidiary of VW
Give me a 4 speed, manual hubs,354345 V8 will go anywhere.
Here's where it gets interesting. Although it's wholly owned by VW, the branding was acquired through Navistar. They're getting a new HQ in Virginia, a new R&D facility in Michigan and a new factory in South Carolina. Scout will also act as an independent company managed separately from VW and even have its own executive team. And given VW's investment in Rivian, it could even get some of Rivian's technology.Well, that does it for me. I'll never buy a new scout then.
We had a 1976 Scout pickup when I was a teenager. The power to weight ratio got better every year due to expanding rust. We had a roll bar and front bumper welded out of oilfield tubing and painted those parts white, the rest gray. It would go anywhere. One time, we were out hunting and idling through the snow. We decided to get out to walk a bit and had to push hard because the snow was a few inches up the doors. We were always ambivalent about having sold it before the new oil boom led to lots of road rage, as it would have been nice but dangerous to have a car we didn’t care about trading paint while pushing idiots off the road.I can hear it rusting through the screen.
Oh wait, sorry, that's just the original one my buddy has. He's only 7 miles away, and it's a clear night, so the sound carries.

I agree.The new one won’t live up to any of those standards. It’s a weird name to slap on a Volkswagen EV.

That's nothing. Ten years ago, Harley-Davidson managed to invent an electric motor that leaks oil.How’d they fit electric motors to Dana 44s and manual locking hubs?

Not quite everything. I think some of their T-shirts don't leak oil.Duh. That’s a feature the engineer into everything.
