More than 50 years later, the Scout brand, under the Volkswagen Group umbrella, decided to take over the name while still implementing a look reminiscent of the original model from the 1960s.

The Toyota Stout is an all-electric compact pickup that is designed to compete with other pickup trucks like the Ford Maverick. An official release date has not been announced yet, however, Toyota plans to bring the Stout to market sometime in 2025. There is a possibility that this truck will eventually become a hybrid or all-electric vehicle, or perhaps both.

  • Based on a compact pickup truck from the 1960s

  • It may be released in 2025

  • A hybrid and fully electric model is expected

You may not be aware of it, but the Toyota Stud, just like the Scout, was a vehicle that was previously sold as a gasoline-powered pickup truck in the 1960s. At that time, fuel was still fairly cheap, which meant that there was not a large market for small, fuel-efficient engined vehicles. However, the Stout still performs well, even with the 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine.

10 Alpha Wolf

The Alpha Wolf is one of the new electric trucks with a more aggressive look, while also reminiscent of the old-school square body design.

  • Two-door and four-door models are expected

  • The prototype has already been released

  • Estimated range is 275 miles
