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.
Ya. A great 1977 album. Love it.And you know we ALL love rumors on this forum.
This is what happened when a brand raises their prices too much. They have to come back down.
Or you know…. We could just not have greedy and disgusting car dealerships anymore.
That would bring those inflated prices down faster than anything else would.
@SpaceEVDriver for some reason I could see you having something like this.
All do respect to you and other Jeep owners but I don’t know anyone who hasn’t had major issue with there’s (not saying every buyer but everyone I know with a Jeep) and as pretty as the grand Cherokee interiors look they were crazy to think they could demand those prices. There are many more options that are better quality and cheaper
I must have gotten lucky because, knock on wood, I haven’t had very many issues at all. I keep up on my regular maintenance and at about 100,000 miles I had to get a new thermostat and oxygen sensor and those repairs were $100 each through my warranty. My biggest issue was at 95,000 miles my heater wasn’t working properly and I got a new heater core, radiator and oil cooler for my $100 deductible.
That’s the joke always from 4Runner owners is that Wranglers fall apart but that hasn’t been my experience, thankfully.
But I would note the heater core probably should have not had the issues. Out of fairness I’ve never heard ANYONE say they bought a wrangler because of the outstanding build quality. It’s a lifestyle vehicle and many are willing to live with the issues to have the joy of open air driving. My dad worked for a subsidiary of Ford for years in purchasing and engineering and told me NEVER buy a Ford but Noooo, had to buy a Bronco and 1-1/2 years later we dumped it due to problems
Actually the early 90s Ford Escort GT was the worst car we ever owned. Traded it in at 50,000 miles. The timing belt was jumping they said. Once I had to coast down a hill into a parking lot when it died on my lunch hour. Then the catalytic converter died and I was done. Got a Honda Civic and never looked back.But I would note the heater core probably should have not had the issues.

I can’t wait to get my Scout. I can truly say I love my Wrangler. It’s a Jeep thing I know. But last week I was driving home from Chicago and it was the first time I thought this drive will be so much nicer in my new Scout.
They have come a long way since the “mini-van engine era”, but yeah…. they have their quirks.But I would note the heater core probably should have not had the issues.

But I don’t even know who makes “reliable cars” anymore.
Even Toyota and Lexus have fallen from grace in recent years.

To be fair to Ford, the Escort GT was a Mazda platform with a Mazda engine (assuming you're talking about the 1.8).Actually the early 90s Ford Escort GT was the worst car we ever owned. Traded it in at 50,000 miles. The timing belt was jumping they said. Once I had to coast down a hill into a parking lot when it died on my lunch hour.

I saw that somewhere recently, but cannot remember the context. It’s pretty neat. I don’t have a use-case right now, but if one of my many start-up ideas ever takes root, I would take a closer look.
