Well the deer shifted the motor mounts and in the end, the tranny was screwed as well. Insurance stopped work when they were told it was going to exceed $18k. Deer aren't good for vehicle upkeep.

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.
Ford sells a PHEV Ranger and the SUV Version, the Everest in Sourh East Asia... Funny they don't bring them over here. I'd buy a PHEV Ranger in a heartbeat as it would be perfect for my needs..
My partner wanted a maverick hybrid, until they found out it wasn’t a plug in, I feel like ford has dropped the ball on some great vehicles for the US market. Personally never been a ford guy, but my most reliable truck to date was 01 Lariat with the 5.4 Triton 300k miles and the rear differential started to give up, so it’s been parked waiting for repairs, I can’t imagine it’ll be in great shape by the time we get them done
See the Upcoming Ferrari Luce EV SUV's Interior in Photos
See some of the clear, glossy, Apple-like features the upcoming four-seat Ferrari EV will have inside.
Props to Ferrari for this interior design. Very Old School meets Modern day.
Ah-ha. I guessed right. I’m not right very often so glad to see it and that will do very well for Toyota.
Love the look but the right side screen is too big. Love that it’s projected and turned toward the driver thoughSee the Upcoming Ferrari Luce EV SUV's Interior in Photos

As ugly as Toyota's EVs have been, this is going to pique my interest, even if it doesn't hit home from a design standpoint. May have to consider it competition to my Scout purchase, depending on specs, pricing and timing. Although I REALLLLLY don't want to deal with Toyota's ridiculous allocation system. Let me get the exact configuration I want!
And I like the simplified F1ish steering wheel.

As much as I want to say don’t leave the Scout community! Everyone has to do what works for them. This is transportation after all.
I have heard that it's still common to have a 6-18 month waitlist for certain vehicles and configurations at Toyota dealerships.
And they won’t let you place an order. At least none of the ones we contacted when we were trying to buy the Supra would.
Yep, it's pretty ridiculous. And you have to take what they get in, or risk losing your place in line. And potentially be on waitlists (paid or unpaid) at multiple different dealerships to up your chances. Went through the whole thing with the new Land Cruiser when it was announced. Actually ended up getting an allocation earlier than I expected, but didn't move forward on it.

Correct. And not just for the fun cars.
Even the Mundane ones have the same experience. When we were looking at 3 row SUV's before we got the Ioniq 9, we considered the Grand Highlander Hybrid XLE (the cheapest/fuel efficient one).
Calling around to dealerships they said they best they could do was take down our name, what we wanted, and they'd call us when they had one coming in. And then it was a race between whoever wanted that type of vehicle configuration, and which salesman called their customers, to see which customer would show up first to get the vehicle.
Its ridiculous.
It’s awful. Another reason I’m so
Glad Scout is DTC. I can’t wait to order my Scout exactly how I want it.
That’s why we own a Honda Pilot. Wife wanted another Highlander and we were 12-16 weeks. Maybe sooner if they got a non allocated unit and we were willing to take is as configured. We had 42 Pilots to choose from over 5 dealerships within an hours drive so unfortunately Toyota lost our business
Ours said we could order but we weren’t in position to hang on to the Bronco that had countless issues
I can’t imagine what will happen with the new Highlander as a BEV. Bet they get a lot of interest then lose buyers because they can’t produce
