CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

  • 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.
Okay I have to have a compass. It’s a requirement for my Traveler. I remember seeing that teaser picture prior to launch of the compass. I ran to tell my husband there’s gonna be a compass on the ceiling!

Love it!

Speaking of the compass, how do I read that one? I assume I'm facing west when I see the 'W', or is west behind me as if I were reading a regular compass. That hurts my brain.

My current one is pretty idiot proof:

The team was nice enough to open the back for me while they were waiting for the garage to open and moving items out of the way so the Traveler could be pulled into the building.


I made sure to get a picture standing under the tailgate while it was up. Again, I’m 5’7”.View attachment 17695View attachment 17696View attachment 17697View attachment 17698View attachment 17699

Good thing you asked them nicely to open it. The last person didn't (in case you were wondering what was in the bag in the trunk).

I don't think I've seen that tire carrier handle before, it looks great!
 
Technically we are to have a front plate in Illinois. It’s in a bag in the back with a tow hook mount and until someone tells us to put it on, it’s staying in the trunk.

Saturday morning we went and walked around down the SC State Capitol. A front plate would ruin the front of this car and there’s no way in heck I’m allowing holes to be drilled in the front. Not gonna happen.

All this to say, please SM don’t put on front plates unless the owner asks for the bracket to be installed.

I’m not putting a front plate on mine. And NJ requires them but all new cars on the road only rock one.
 
Looking at this picture, I'm really curious where Scout will put the license plate on the production models. Any info @Jamie@ScoutMotors ?
Now that’s a good question
Watching the Scout team maneuver the Traveler into place in the Experience Center was like watching a ballet. A scary ballet where one wrong move would result in damage to a $5 million concept vehicle.

They are experts at it and she was moved into place for the event.

imagine how nervous that guy is moving that around in tight spaces like that lol
 
Now I have a question.

What do reservation holders of the Traveler call it? Do you call it an SUV or a truck? I call the Traveler a truck when I’m talking about them. Wondering what everyone else does.
To me it’s not really an SUV(Sport Utilitarian Vehicle) I would consider it a Light Duty Truck or a RUV(Rugged Utilitarian Vehicle)
 
Now that’s a good question

There were spotters and lots of hand motions.

When we saw the Traveler in Chicago she was at that hotel for a Governors Association dinner and they pushed her into the service elevator to go upstairs to a ballroom.

I asked this weekend how that went and he said it was really really tight but they got it done. 😳

Okay that’s a question. Does a Jerry can have to be red or a certain material? Or could you have let’s say a Scout orange metal Jerry can?

Anyone know the answer to that?
True, it could also be yellow I suppose but I would definitely say its the defacto standard.

Both OSHA and the California Air Resources Board mandate color coding for fuel containers:
  • Red containers hold gasoline exclusively.
  • Yellow containers are for diesel fuel.
  • Blue designates kerosene (though blue can also indicate water, requiring attention to labeling).
  • Green containers hold flammable oils including pre-mixed two-stroke fuel.
  • Black containers serve as general-purpose vessels approved for any fuel type.
The reason I was given: "The fuel container color designation system prevents costly and dangerous fuel mix-ups while providing critical information to emergency responders."

Thanks for that. I would hate to mix up the blue containers.

Hear me out… and @Jamie@ScoutMotors this could be cool I THINK! An orange one, looks like a fuel tank, is actually a portable battery for charging or running equipment, with flash light, waterproof Bluetooth speaker, or some sort of cool camp tool like that and have a port on the tailgate to charge it. It would also have to be something that’s locked on there so people don’t take it…

Oh yeah, the Terra gets that toolbox in the bed, the Traveler needs something and that could be perfect!

Little Gemini fun with interior colors
I don't hate this, but I am having severe anxiety over the thought of off-roading with the windows down and having to clean an interior like this

Appreciate the assist Sir 👊
I love, love, love the Scout logo on the front. I hope it stays the same and in the same place. Being off center like that is so unique for the front of the vehicle.
