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.
If the Land Cruiser BEV were in the same cost class as the Scout, and looked similar enough to today’s Land Cruiser, it would be a definite top competitor in my spreadsheet. The LC is a bit skinnier and otherwise has similar dimensions as the Traveler.
Also, it’s hard to complain that their current main page advertising photos are literally from my backyard and in places I’ve played.

It is a great looking vehicle. I’ve said before we had ordered, then cancelled, the Lexus GX550 for my wife only because the costs were so similar. I just think the LC is pricey for what it is. You can get a similar spec’d Sequoia for about same price.
Yeah, this would make a tough decision for me too! I was actually on the list for a LC when they came out, and got an allocation quicker than I expected. I decided to turn it down because it wasn't a NEED, it was a want. And it would have been a pretty hefty cost to take a step back in MPG and gas costs (premium required). At the time, I knew Scout's announcement was coming later that year, so decided to wait for that and hope it was appealing.
That said, seeing them out and about I still look longingly...
They definitely catch your eye. And to my surprise the trail dust color (forget exact name) really appeals to me. My hates that color but something about it just looks unique

Porsche’s Wireless Car Charger Will Be A Lot More Expensive Than Wired Chargers
With a maximum output of 11 kW, it’s on par with wired Level 2 home chargers. But that convenience comes at a cost.

Almost $6,000 Yikes. I guess for some that are paying the big bucks for their Porsche it is a drop in the bucket.Porsche’s Wireless Car Charger Will Be A Lot More Expensive Than Wired Chargers

Volkswagen is delaying the Golf EV, an electric SUV, and more
The iconic hatch is still going all-electric, but not soon enough. Volkswagen is delaying the electric Golf, an upcoming electric...

See, to me a LC is way higher quality than a Sequoia and more capable because it’s smaller, tighter, and just better for my use-case (camping/overlanding/etc). And for my use-case, the top-end LC is cheaper than a mid-range Sequoia. And the LC is about the same price as a 4Runner when specced similarly.
But we’ll see what the BEV looks like.
Yeah-not one of them. I’m still looking for a Boxster, used for under $25K that is at least a 2013. Very slim pickings
The LC is very distinct. Lets hope they don't think they need to change things up just because it becomes an EV.
It came with everything I needed.
No hinge re-enforcement.
There is a derlin pad that you mount beneath the door and the lower part of the carrier rests on that.
It also came with backing plates where the it is bolted to the door.
Never squeaked rattled or shook.
I had a red ---- hair of clearance with the 275/70R18s and the rear hatch glass. But It opened and closed just fine.
One model can be adjusted to extend the tire further away from the door if needed, but the one I got for factory offset wheels worked out perfectly.
It’s the maintenance on things like that. The car may be cheaper but’s it’s still servicing a Porsche.
If Scout isn't forthcoming about the metro sized Scout I am very tempted to get a 718 EV.
I just don’t like the light housing on the EV’s. For the 718 I’d be happy with ICE. But it’s been my dream car since it was introduced still sits on my shelf in my office
Its funny because this is the smallest Land Cruiser the US has had in a long time.
The Sequoia and LX700h replaced the American Land Cruiser, and the new Land Cruiser is more akin to the 4Runner than the former full size units.
Exactly. I had zero interest in any LC since they moved from the J80 series to the J100 series and later. Those were all too big and too expensive for us. This new model is finally something worth looking at again. It’s still expensive, though.
Makes total sense. Especially if your focus is capability.
I was all in on the new ones until I realized there is no 3rd row. Period. Not even an option on base trims.
I deeply miss my FZJ80. It was a 97 Lexus LX450. Had factory front and rear lockers and was by far the best vehicle I ever owned. Was pretty devastated when a red light runner totaled it.
If Lexus releases a GX550 Overtrail with a 3rd row option that might woo us back, but they havent replied to the emails I have sent inquiring about changing in the future, it so thats probably unlikely.
