The Scout Terra pickup truck and Scout Traveler SUV are prototypes of the first models to wear the Scout badge in 44 years .

Volkswagen Group got the rights to use the Scout name when it purchased Navistar , the successor to International Harvester .

Both Scout models are based on an all-new, rugged, body-on-frame design that’s not shared with other electric vehicles.

The Scout Terra and Traveler have a 5.5-foot bed, two 120V power outlets, and one 240V power outlet.

Both vehicles feature grab bars, a squared-off steering wheel, and plenty of physical buttons for climate and audio controls.

A three -across front bench seat is optional on both vehicles.

Scout hasn’t shared any information about active safety features.

Scout Scout has promised to not “bury features in menus or screens,” which can be distracting while driving.
