Concerning the 35's vs 33's discussion it is also important to note that you would probably get better range with the 33's just because they are lighter.
What feature(s) do you hope that Scout does NOT include?

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
I’m really hoping for this reason when we build our Scouts to order it not only shows a picture with the different options we add but gives detailed measurements. For example, with 35s and a roof rack the height add x number of inches, the distance between the top of the tire and the bottom of the wheel well is x with 35s and x with 33s. I know it’s a lot but I am looking for granular detail when I am building my Scout. And it would be great if we could see side by side pictures and specs of 2 or 3 different builds when we are making our selections.
That would be another piece of information that would be helpful to know when we building our Scouts to order. If there is any change in range based on what we select.
Im 35 all the way even if they don’t make it to production which they are probably making gonna make it to production.
I have always wanted 35s. I will most likely end up choosing 35s.
How about we give you a button. But you can use it or not. The ID.4 has this button but will work with foot on brake shift into gear as well.
Edit: sorry, I looked through the rest of that page for a response on this, but must have missed it. This was already covered. Sorry!
Point of fact/small correction.
It’s 1 inch of extra ground clearance, but 2 inches of total tire size increase. Because the hub is in the center, you only get half the tire size increase, in ground clearance increase.
Yeah no thanks. My major choice in college was chosen because it was the one with the least amount of math required. English. No problem. Math. Nope.Not have to, get to
50 Shades of Gray. Even 5 is too many. I am so tired of seeing new vehicles that provide 10 colors to choose from but 6 of them are gray/silver. I had a "titanium" colored vehicle. It was like being in stealth mode. People pulling out in front of me, cutting me off, etc. They can be invisible on an asphalt road.
Same! I am hoping they follow in IH footsteps and we get some vintage Scout colors with a modern twist. I have had too many years of a black car. I’m all in on color this go round.
A happy medium for me would be for the frunk to be shaped to allow storage of a full sized spare. A long trip is the only time I would feel the need to bring one along, the rest of the time it could live in my garage.
When metallic gunmetal gray became an option for stuff like nail polish, it was pretty cool (I used said nail polish to touch up a scrape on my Prius, lol). Now, the sight of it is repellant. So vile.
No, there’s nothing to turn on or off. Fob would just be to unlock doors or pop frunk open. But that’s the feature I don’t want. No fob. Just phone app and a credit card backup to unlock door.
Dog mode or camp mode keeps power on after driver leaves. Dog mode is just keeping climate on and a big sign on screen with interior temperature. Camp mode lets media and climate to stay on until battery reduces to a certain level.
Thanks for the information Dana. I know that there’s nothing on a Rivian as I did a test drive and I had to go back inside and ask as I had never driven anything without a start stop button before.
However, I remembered one of the videos from a car reviewer from CES and I swore they said start/stop button. I just went back and looked at the media pictures on the Scout website and on the lower right of the center of the steering wheel that looks like a start/stop button. I’m wondering if the Harvester option makes one necessary? Either way, start/stop button no start/stop button, I am all in on this truck.
I know you’re a BMW fan like me. Mine has iconic sounds and I actually like it. It gives a non annoying aural feedback. But, I do like that I can turn it off.
I’m all for you not needing a fob if you don’t want to use it, but I definitely want a fob with buttons that let me control the door locks, open the frunk or hatch, sound an alarm if needed, maybe even turn on seat warmer. I’ve got a fob with my current car and I know where every button is. I can reach in my pocket and push the right button. With a phone app I’d have to pull out my phone, unlock it, bring up the app, Hope that there’s working connection, wait, find the app, scroll through some menu to find what I want, etc. And then every so often some new designer decides that they want to completely change the way it works, and I have to relearn everything, or they decide to take functionality away, etc., etc. Give me a fob any day. Especially a fob with a physical key in it that I can pull out when electronics fail. Hyundai ioniq 5 and Kia ev6 have that, and with their 12v battery issues a lot of owners have been grateful for that key.
Team fob over here.
I’ve said before my daughter’s Bronco ended up with App issue that effected remote start and the alarm going off randomly. I’m cool having a key app for phone but when something fails (as she/we experienced) I want the physical fob as back up. I agree with @oldgeeksguide and need for fob. The Scout reveal had two difference key fob designs displayed and knowing WE/SM wanted a vehicle with touch points I think the fob is great. I think a wrist band can be a reasonably priced option for people who want that-certainly merit but I wouldn’t want to wear the wrist band (as I’m sure I already commented on). A card is nice. I have a mag reader card for work now and if the reader was 3” lower on wall all I’d have to do is swing my hip toward door and it would unlock but it’s a bit too high. I like this option too but how do you lock from distance, remotely start, etc…? Without using phone?
