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.
Dunno. This was a while ago and I never tried again. Things may have changed?
Our Jeep was virtually a line by line custom order. The only limit was needing a package or 2 to get a few options probably - and honestly I doubt there was much on those packages that we did not want. One feature that was not optional for us was in enough demand that a custom order was the ONLY way to get it. Funny, Jeep discontinued that feature do to lack of demand... They made sure it did not sell by not making enough for it to virtually ever be on a lot to even test drive (either at a dealer or via a rental). We waited 18 months to find one to test drive, and it was essentially discontinued 2 weeks after we ordered-first by not taking anymore orders for it, then months latter by removing it as an option). It was an expensive and needed to be experienced - 2x the torque of the standard engine.
My F250 is virtually that. I could have gotten exactly what I wanted - but I accepted taking one option I did NOT want (moon roof) to get it in 3 days (and with a huge overall discount) via a dealer transfer rather than 2-3 months with a factory order.

Agree. However it's the same Chasis and would cater to the true utility truck user which might be good for them as a brand and to stand out. but we'll see. My F150 is only a 2017 with plenty of years left. I want electric and not finding a good one. This one speaks to me the most so I'm hopeful they'll think utility but maybe not out of the gate.
I have a 2015 Sierra Double Cab with standard (6.6ft) bed that I am hoping to replace with the Terra. I bought my truck new and I'd love a standard bed size option on the same wheel base for Terra. I built custom storage boxes so I could have some easy storage and a flat load floor for my dog and it has been incredibly useful. We don't have kids and I can count on one hand the number of times I wished I'd left the rear seats in. My truck isn't currently a daily driver but a weekend fun mobile; we use it for camping, hunting, hauling kayaks/dirt bikes/mountain bikes, and the occasional run to the dump. I did daily it for a several years though.
The Terra will have a 5.1 inch longer wheel base than my Sierra, but with a 12.9 inch shorter bed. If you add a roll-top hard tonneau cover it will eat up 6-8" of that bed space. The overall length and width of the two trucks are nearly identical, just for comparison. I absolutely do not need a crew-cab (or rear seats for that matter) but I do regularly use the full length of the bed of my truck, so I would LOVE a double-cab with a 6-6.5 foot bed Terra.
The addition of the frunk will help mitigate the short bed for camping trips, and I can't close my tailgate with two dirt bikes in the bed as it is right now (I can with one loaded diagonal though), so I think I'll be able to live with it, but it would be really nice to retain the current functionality of my truck while getting all the awesome things Scout is bringing to the table.

Sounds like Terra will be a good fit.
Scout Motors. “People. Connections. Community. Authenticity." Welcome to the Scout community. Enjoy the ride.
Remember the built in search on the forums is a great place to start getting answers to your many questions.
I hope the back seats fold up like in the f150's since the back floor is flat. Gonna replace my f150 with the Terra. Have 2 dogs and having the back seats fold up so the dogs can just hop in and lay on the floor is so convenient. Tundras and other trucks have the hump in the back floor with the back seats on a base which don't fold up. Not practical.
This. I live in the heart of truck country and trucks are daily driver/family haulers here during the week and then tow a boat/RV or run to Home Depot on the weekends. These people definitely need the crew cab to haul the whole family to the lake plus it allows them to have 1 fewer vehicles to maintain/insure.
Also, a few years back we were having a bunch of work done on the house and every contractor we used had a crew cab. I asked about it and they said that they had to go and pick up their workers each morning to ensure they got to the job site on time so they needed the seats. They installed a rack in the bed that allowed them to carry long things (pipe, lumber, etc) over the top of the cab. I thought it was interesting that even contractors are buying crew cabs.
I did the truck thing for awhile, but I realized it didn't work for me. Sure, I've got some enclosed space behind the seats, but there's no space for people and stuff. The bed wasn't big enough for lumber anyway, so I sold it and got a Toyota SUV and a trailer. Now I've got space for people and stuff inside, out of the elements. When I need bigger stuff, I just hook up the trailer. The trailer was a lot cheaper than a second vehicle, and more versatile than a truck. Even then, I'll often run to Home Depot and pick up a few boards. 10' and under can fit in the Toyota with the back window closed, but 16' boards work fine with the extra 6' sticking out the back window. The only time I miss a truck now is when I need to tow more than my 5k rating, hence why I'm really hoping the Traveler Harvester has at least 7.5k towing.
I work in residential construction and found that most crew cabs near me are bought by the subs or contractors through their business, and having 4 doors just makes more sense when it's pulling double duty as a family mobile while taking advantage of tax write-offs for the business.
