Scout Concepts At LA Auto Show, November 21-30, 2025

  • 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 have a concern about the flat floor with no barrier between the driver space and the passenger space. No matter how hard one might try, keeping the passenger floor clear of items will not always be successful. It’s good to have the driver’s floor space physically separated from the passenger floor space so nothing can roll over and interfere with driving the vehicle. I hope this is one of those “15%” things that will change between the concepts and the production vehicles.

Good point. Though the center person in my pickup has to straddle shift levers and tray. So I thought the flat floor was perfect.
Second thought, there needs to be a rise between the front seats as you pointed out. I am the worlds worse for throwing my empty water bottles on the passenger floor board.

There’s definitely a compromise.
First, there’s no need for a transmission “hump,” so that concern really does go away; Second, the separation could be relatively close to where the driver’s footwell begins, leaving approximately 2/3 of the space for the passenger(s).
 
How was the size? For a reference point, how did it compare to either full size trucks, like and F-150, or midsize, like a Tacoma.
 
It has to be so hard as a designer. Trying to please everyone. I love the exterior lighting on the trucks. Especially the mask in the front it’s different. I definitely agree we need a grab bar for the driver. I am so glad we get real buttons and I love that darn compass. I would even pay extra for it. I have to have a compass.
I'll never use that compass. I must have it. Non-negotiable.

So, my new EV has this. And it is something I've been curious about.

So far, no issues. But potentially, sure. What I would probably prefer, is a simple "ridge" that follows the edge of the driver seat forward to the console area. Not sure how high that ridge needs to be. But primarily it would be there to prevent smaller items from rolling up into that space.

That said, also, that open space (compared to our Tucson, which has a more traditional center console style setup) is also super useful. It usually holds my wifes purse, which is usually stuck by her feet in the passenger footwell, or shoved into the back between the kids (DANGER ZONE). And for stuff like that, its great. Frees up tons of space.

I think a wider space in the passenger footwell is entirely reasonable and easily attainable even with a small ridge between the driver and passenger footwells.

Welcome if I didn’t already say so. I think even a 2” riser in the center to separate the “wells” would prevent most things from rolling over and wedging under the brake pedal.
 
At least you would also have some form of braking with regen, and assuming you have a hold type mode you could come to a complete stop without touching the brakes if anything did happen, although not for a full emergency stop situation. Although I’m sure the vehicle will have some sort of emergency stop available too if something like that did occur.
