What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

  • 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.
CENTER SEAT HEAD RESTS!!!!!!!
Dangerous center seat!

Please pass this to those that can make changes.

Both Scouts look awesome! I want a Scout truck with the flat bench (finally), and possibly the suv,
HOWEVER,
I probably won’t unless this gets fixed. Also once this safety hazard is realized by the public it will likely prevent some sales, like it has for GM, and others. Many friends bought Ford expeditions, like me, over the GM Yukon or Tahoe because there is no center head rest.

I noticed you guys did not have head rests that can be raised in the center seats. That is extremely dangerous for the person riding in the center seat. High risk for breaking one’s neck in an accident. I’ve worked in trauma cases for this very reason. Honestly it should not be allowed legally.

Ford, Honda, and some others provide a small, raisable, even removable center headrest, that when down still offers a clear line of site. I know some manufacturers don’t put them in because of line of site. This makes zero sense. When someone is sitting in the center, that line of site is gone, and now with a high risk for neck injury. It’s simple, place a small raisable head rest like several of the manufacturers, a simple fix that can save someone’s life.

Hopefully this gets passed to those that can make this simple paralytic sparing, lifesaving fix. Please fix it, even if I don’t get one. Manufacturers should not be allowed to produce seats without them.

The concepts are missing a number of details that will be in the regular production vehicles. In the case of the bench seat, it is missing not only an adjustable center headrest, but seat belts and a fold-down arm-rest with cup holders and storage. Since these concepts are hand built, there were a few things for the sake of cost that were different.

When it comes to safety, rest assured no corners will be cut.
