The legendary Scout name is back, and it’s making an electrifying return with the highly anticipated Terra truck, a rugged EV pickup primed for the trail and built for the future. Following its sibling, the Scout Traveler SUV, the Terra truck is set to roll out from Scout’s brand-new plant in South Carolina. This isn’t just another EV truck—Scout’s Terra is designed to shake up the off-road and electric vehicle market alike with jaw-dropping power, next-gen engineering, and serious off-road stats. With reservations open now, it’s time for truck enthusiasts to get ready for an electrified adventure that begins in 2027.
Sharing the same 800-volt platform as the Traveler SUV, the Terra truck is no slouch in the power department. Scout’s Terra packs an all-wheel-drive system powered by electric motors on both the front and rear axles, delivering a combined punch of up to 1,000 lb-ft of torque. The result? A mind-bending 0-60 mph time of just 3.5 seconds—a feat that’s typically reserved for sports cars, not pickup trucks built for the wild. For those eyeing longer trips without range anxiety, Scout is also offering a hybrid variant with a range-extender gas generator. While the gas generator doesn’t power the wheels directly, it keeps the battery going, ensuring you can get to that remote campsite without a hitch.
But let’s talk about what really matters to the off-road crowd: the Terra’s rugged capability. This isn’t just an urban EV dressed up for the trail; it’s built to conquer it. Scout’s Terra, along with its SUV sibling, the Traveler, boasts the ability to climb a staggering 100% grade—yes, that’s a full 45 degrees, making steep inclines and rocky trails a walk in the park. This kind of performance puts Scout’s trucks in the upper echelon of off-road capability, making the Terra a serious contender against well-known off-road brands.
Scout’s commitment to quality goes beyond the hardware under the hood. Both the Terra and Traveler are engineered with precision in Michigan, a state with a long heritage of automotive expertise, before production moves to Scout’s cutting-edge plant in South Carolina. This attention to detail isn’t just a matter of pride—it’s about delivering a truck that’s rugged, reliable, and ready for anything the outdoors throws its way. With an estimated starting price of $60,000, the Terra truck is an investment in serious EV power without skimping on the features and durability that Scout fans expect.
If you’re ready to jump on the bandwagon—or in this case, the pickup bed—reservations for the Scout Terra are open now. Mark your calendars because the 2028 model year Terra truck is set to redefine what an EV pickup can be. Whether you’re an off-road enthusiast or just in the market for a powerful, eco-friendly ride, Scout’s Terra truck promises to deliver in every way. Get ready to experience the next chapter in adventure and innovation from Scout.
