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.
The only other thing which was what made me wake up and then be bummed that it wasn't real was that there were a bunch of metal sculptures of various animals whos heads were made in the style of vintage scouts. They were really cool! I wanted one!
I find this very interesting.

Land Rover's Smaller Defender EV Meant to Battle Mercedes-Benz Baby G Is 'Well Advanced,' Exec Says — Road & Track
The baby Defender could be launching as early as next year.
That’s extremely unique and gotta say you have some F’d up vivid dreams. Love the sculpture
I love the alt-text on that one: "Now that I've finally gotten an electric vehicle, I'm never going back to an acoustic one."
Audi off-roader, if it makes sense....
Somehow luxury and off road don’t make a lot of sense to me when in a sentence together.
Might not make sense but it does seem to print money in America lol
It doesn't really make a lot of sense, when you get into "serious" offroading.
The super serious rigs that offroad often, and well, are usually beat pretty hard, and their appearance reflects that. So you tend not to see many brand new expensive vehicles used as rockcrawling vehicles for instance.
But, there are other genres/use cases that they are more common in. There lot of "lifestyle" offroaders out there, and also overlanding. And while overlanding is totally offroading, it tends to be less extreme than the "hard core" offroading, as its focus is more on the journey, and less on the obstacles. Plus their overlanding trips are often longer, so I think you see more newer/fancier vehicles setup that way (less likely to be trashed than hard core rock crawling).
And I mean, the lifestyle vehicle thing... is a thing too. Lots of 4wd vehicles don't actually get off the pavement. They just look cool, and let us feel like we could go offroading if we wanted to.
And... tbh, I'm just as guilty here as anyone else. I used to offroad more often. But haven't really offroaded with my jeep for ages. But I like knowing that I can, and that I can handle any crappy weather. Which is why the scout is a great replacement for me, and why I'm likely totally content with the 33's. I'm realistically only dealing with snow, and bad forest roads at the "typical extremes".
This was my view from the hammock the other night (winter campout with the youth group I mentor), as an example of the use cases I'd really need.

Good to know the U.S. vehicle brands are dinosaurs heading directly to extinction. Hope SM shows everyone what success can be
