What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

  • 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.
Integrated rachet straps built into the bed of the Terra would be a nice touch, suprised we haven't seen this happen yet in other tuck models. I have been on the fence about installing these on my Tacoma but can't justify the price of 4 for north of $400 for convivence. My issue is I usually store behind my seats which is a hassel with a carseat installed.

Would they hold up over time? Even if they are out of sun would heat and humidity break them down vs keeping them in the truck? Just curios

I just use rings and keep regular straps nearby. These have a 1,300+ lb working load, so pretty decent.

Hello everyone, first post here. I just moved into a new Land Cruiser for a company car. One thing I noticed right away was the lack of sound deadoning throughout the vehicle. With this being either an EV or EREV, I hope significant care is taken to ensure a quiet ride. Toyota messed on this release...

Sounds deadening in an EV is always a huge compromise. Sounds deadening is HEAVY which kills range. That being said, tire choice will make the most difference. ATs are going to be loud no matter what. I'm also curious if Scout is planning to do some active sound deadening in the headrests. My Tesla has this but I haven't done back to back to see if it's really doing anything or not. My Model X is generally quiet (but it has all season tires, not all terrain).

Speaking of headrests- pretty much every vehicle I've had has an overstuffed headrest that doesn't provide much padding. My FR-S was the exception, and it had a soft headrest that was really comfortable. I pretty much never lean my head back on the headrests in vehicles because they're uncomfortable and my head bounces too much on it when driving down the road.

So, in light of that, I'd like a headrest with some actual give to it. I'd also like the usual height-adjustable, and ideally, angle-adjustable headrests that are also REMOVABLE should I need to do so.

Any other headrest requests? @cyure mentioned the seat trim not pinching hair, but I suspect the headrest shouldn't either. My hair isn't long enough for that to be an issue, so I don't even know if that's a thing or not.

Don’t even get me started about pony tails and how the headrest pushes your head forward and strains your neck.

Do adjustable ones that slide up on the two metal posts give enough space for your hair? You're tall enough that I'd think it would work. Probably not helpful for someone 5' tall though.

Not really. And don’t even get me started on the plastic claw clips you wear in your hair. Those are dangerous to wear with a headrest. If you are in an accident you basically created shrapnel right by your head.

Does any style headrest work better than others? Or do you need to start living the @maynard lifestyle where this isn't a concern?

Sounds like someone needs to design a split headrest that has room for a pony or clip... (or taller inverted U-shaped)
A group of women designers designed exactly that for Volvo back in 2004. The Volvo YCC had headrests designed specifically with pony-tails and the like in mind. The other thing they did on that concept car was have a hood that was locked and only a mechanic could open it. So you know, some good, some bad, haha.

Bummer to hear that. We drove the Lexus GX version and almost bought. The roof rack was so loud I didn’t even notice the general noise so now I know. Anyway, thanks for posting and welcome aboard. Enjoy your time and always feel free to ask questions or use the search button. Tons of great info on here-as well as even more speculation and butter talk -IYKYK
