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.
No idea what Opumo is but they like Pacific Mist!
Man-if it looked that color 100% of time it would be my choice. I’ve said teal was right after pale yellow.
Silo Green will be my second choice if there’s no CSG…
I do like the green but wife isn’t as fond and as the financial advisor she gets a little veto power-unfortunately
That front facia goes hard. Though the iH is a bit much, and the AI made it seem more like an ICEV, something similar in design would be awesome to see down the road from Scout, after they find footing as a new brand with a limited run "Heritage" lineup and a two door with a "sports top"
The AI took a more retro design. 2dr is the biggest. But the smoother sides, with bolt on fender flares, the window trim, the larger front triangle glass (more like the tilting vent ones from the past). Other changes like the windshield rake and the roof are harder for me to be sure of.
I don't *dislike* this, but I also don't know if it's something I would have gotten excited about & put down a reservation for. It's too boxy, too 70s/80s - vs the actual design that feels nostalgic but also modern. The new Bronco is like that - it's got a nostalgic look, but also recognizably modern/current.
And I know Facebook is mostly cranks & complainers at this point in its lifecycle, but I constantly see comments like this on the Scout posts:
And I can't help but think, well duh - for as beloved as Scout seems to be, it's a small community compared to the car-buying population so of course any kind of revival is going to cast a wide net. If Scout was building/designing a vehicle that these types of people wanted, they'd be priced out of it & would be complaining about that!
I have admitted multiple times that Scout is not a brand I was familiar with before the revival, so I'm one of those Soccer Moms (lol) they're targeting. A "heritage" design like @RodorW said might be feasible in a few years for an anniversary release, but I'm sure it would still be very limited (and A Real Yeti still wouldn't buy it for some perceived slight. Hahaha).

I’ll admit this as well. My parents immigrated to this country and I, along with a ton of other people I know, was first generation born in the US. I had no idea what IH or Scout were until I watched Animal Kingdom on Netflix and saw the green Scout II that one of the main characters drives. Not recognizing the car, I googled it and that’s how I came across the brand revival. It was the front grill look and overall design of the car that made me think “dang that is cool and I want one” I wasn’t even into cars before I started getting interested in Scout. Now I’m hooked haha
I get what Marketing is doing playing into the history of an American brand and it’s the right starting place, but at some point the value prop and messaging will need to evolve. Been doing my own research into the history of the brand and have a ton of respect for it. But that’s just not where I and probably most started with it. On that note, would be cool to see Deran from Animal Kingdom be part of a future Ad campaign
Agree completely. I saw those same soccer mom posts and laughed. I can’t believe SM isn’t just make 9,486 of these travelers to exact specs for those hard core long term Scout lovers. It was my first car. I grew up in PA, we don’t really have boulders to crawl over, it was my parents car so my stupidity as a 16 year old existed but not enough to rock climb in it. I have lots of memories in that scout both family and as a 16year old. The nostalgia matters to me, so long as it can handle some non paved roads with 6-6” gravel potholes I’m gonna be pretty happy. And I’ve said before-if two hamsters are in the frunk making it go that’s cool too. If it gets me from point A to B with minimal to no problems, is a hoot to drive, manages to keep the cabana top from leaking and makes me smile every time I walk up to it then I’ll be 100% satisfied. And the 5 year wait will have been worth it.
Cool on vintage trucks and jeeps but I think the Scouts deserve a slightly more refined look. I like the variates Scout has offered this far
Cool video for those that have FB. It’s a moving Terra swapping parts/accessories. Pretty cool. And I grabbed a still of front with bull bar

The concept vehicles have the ability to manually change the color temperature. This has caused some inconsistencies in how they look. The design team wants them to have a warm glow on the production models.
