General Comments:

I loved our Scout II! They just don't make them like that anymore. Clean, functional, no-nonsense, form-following-function design. It sat 5 comfortably and 6 in a pinch. Plenty of cargo room. The reason we didn't keep it longer was that we didn't notice one of the items on the equipment list: a 4.54 axle ratio! Thank goodness for the 55 mph speed limit because 65 mph was completely wrapped out. Consequently the thing drank gas. It was a great vehicle, but the stump puller axle ratio wasn't what we needed for traveling.

Faults:

Nothing, runs very well for being 26 years old.

General Comments:

The number one problem with Scouts is the rusting out problem.. Fortunately mine came originally from Nevada, and now in Southern Oregon. Rust is minimal and body and frame are solid.
