by Creating a new generation of an iconic model is a complex task due to high expectations and historical legacy. Such challenges are well known to the designers of the Bronco, Charger, and Mercedes G-Class.
Scout can be added to this list, but its situation is special. The last International Harvester Scout rolled off the assembly line on October 21, 1980, ending an era in which over half a million vehicles were manufactured in twenty years.
Reviving the brand, the new team decided to preserve its spirit. They aimed to create a modern design that honors the past.
As the company admitted, the process of reviving the legend required time. The Traveler and Terra models were developed from scratch, meticulously considering every body line.

To achieve the ideal, modern technologies were used, including 3D printing of parts. As the manufacturer notes, the result is “not rushed, not templated, not rectangular”.
We will have to wait until 2027 for the new model. The estimated starting price will be around $50,000, including incentives.
Technical details have not been disclosed yet, but the electric versions will get a range of up to 563 km (350 miles). A hybrid with a gasoline generator is also planned.
