Modesto Scouts | Colton’s Scout Collection & Updates

  • 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 probably have 2 years left of working on cars. Working on this ford in my driveway with jack stands and no lift has killed my back.

It’s not like I’m Danny McBride writing knee slappers, and getting contracts with HBO max and acting out hilarious parts. Lol

New video is now uploaded! A little update on Goldie! Really working on my editing and filming skills. Trust me it’s gonna get better! 😂 Subscribe and follow along if you want!
Nice Update!

Good to hear old trucks running. Got to hear my truck turn over and run for the first time in almost 2 weeks. God do they out a smile on the face when you hear that old man exhaust burbling. I just don't know if an EV will ever be able to do that.

whats the emission laws for you? @Colton_Scout80

As much as I hate on NJ for the stupidity that our government here is, our classics are highly protected which I love. No emission checks no inspections. And a bunch of other perk. And we don't need to be registered as a classic/historic vehicle. We can put normal vehicle plates on.

1975 or older are exempt from smog check requirements here in CA. But in some CA counties there is no smog requirements.

That’s primarily another youth thing. As you get older your hearing starts to go so those joyful exhaust notes start sounding muffled and you suddenly realize silence and the radio blasting are so much better 🤣

Funny part is that my truck is the quietest out of The two Minis and the chevy Silverado. And those all have the most emissions equipment. But my truck with almost a complete straight pipe besides one catalytic converter. Is the quietest.

I just had this random thought pop into my head. "I wonder who Scout Motors first reservation holder was on reveal day". I know there’s really no way to decipher the reservation numbers to figure it out, but it makes me curious. I was pretty quick with my reservation during the reveal, but I doubt it was me lol. Just out of curiosity, does Scout even know who it was @Jamie@ScoutMotors ? I did not know where else to post this random thought so I decided to on this thread. 😂
