Scout Motors Inc. introduces the next era of rugged trucks and sport\ utility vehicles (SUV) with the unveiling of two production-intent concept vehicles, the Scout® Traveler™ SUV and the Scout® Terra™ truck. The new Scout vehicles are designed and engineered in Michigan and will be manufactured in South Carolina – creating over 4,000 American jobs.
"Two years in the making, the day has finally come to share the next generation of Scout vehicles with the
world,” said Scott Keogh, President and CEO, Scout Motors. “The original core idea — rugged, versatile
vehicles capable of off-road adventure and family duty — is more relevant than ever. We couldn’t be
prouder to revitalize this iconic American brand, create thousands of American jobs, and put American
ingenuity back to work.”
Scout Motors’ first priority was to honor the spirit of the original Scout vehicles. The new Scout
Traveler and Scout Terra take inspiration from the design and utility of the original Scout vehicles
manufactured by International Harvester from 1961-80.
