The Scout 800 is a licensed car in SnowRunner and Expeditions.
This classic vehicle from the 60's was one of the first contenders in the four-wheel drive market. It's light and versatile, with nearly limitless tuning potential, making it capable of powering through deep back country. It makes an excellent "search and rescue" vehicle.
Unlocking[]
The Scout 800 can be unlocked as an exploration reward in the following locations:
- One is parked near a house in pristine condition at Black River, just south of the Smithville Dam gateway.
- In co-op mode, players can also find and unlock one in Pedro Bay at the location of the Weather Conditions contest. While the contest is not available in co-op, the Scout 800 is part of it in singleplayer and therefore cannot be driven.
- One given to player as a reward for Abandoned Transport task in The Albany River.
Once found, the player is able to purchase more of this vehicle in the truck store afterwards.
Description[]
SnowRunner[]
The Scout 800 is a very small yet dependable vehicle that lives up to its title as a scout extremely well.
The Scout 800 has the advantage of having an always-on differential lock and switchable AWD making it perform in mud better than the CK1500. It also can be found for free early on making it a good Scout for new players.
The Scout 800 does however struggle a bit in deep mud with stock suspension and tires but with a suspension lift and all terrain or mud tires it is able to tackle almost any obstacle it faces. Though not fast it possesses enough power to get through rough terrain but it struggles when towing. The Scout 800's suspension is extremely stiff, often causing the vehicle to bounce in rough terrain which can lead to it falling on its side if driven carelessly. Due to its high profile and relatively thin build it is very prone to falling over; an autonomous winch is a must have when using this vehicle. Due to its tippy behaviour it is better to keep it in Alaska as it is less hilly and more centred around just tackling mud.
Expeditions[]
In Expeditions, Scout 800 appeared for the first time in the pre-release game trailers, but doesn't appear in the initial release of the game. The vehicle was added in Update #2 for the game, which is released on 26 March 2024 on PC and set to be released next week on consoles. Unlike in SnowRunner, the car has a switchable diff. lock instead always on.
In game the vehicle has exclusive skin.

Trivia[]
- The Scout 800's license plate reads "HU5KY", it shares this license plate with the Navistar 5000-MV, International Loadstar 1700, International Paystar 5070, and Hummer H2.
- In the Scout 800's store image and in the SnowRunner reveal trailer, it is equipped with an entirely different paint scheme than what it has in game. Its original skin resemebles a paint design used on the International Harvester Scout II Rallye editions while the final skin used in game is based on the Comanche strip design.
- The Scout 800 is one of 3 vehicles in game that does not have its manufacturer in the vehicles in game name. Instead of being named the "International Scout 800" it is instead simply named "Scout 800". It shares this oversight with the Fleetstar F2070A and with the Navistar 5000-MV.
- Emergency Reserves for Scout 800 in Expeditions doesn't appear in the game, but can be found in the initial.pak game file under the name harvester_scout_800_estock_xxxx.xml
