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.
Close up of the Traveler details.

A comment and a question. I pointed out how the Traveler plaque doesn’t list a tow rating and mentioned the 5,000 pound kerfuffle. The are very aware of how unhappy everyone would be with only 5,000 pounds and they could not give me a number but the number will be more than 5,000 pounds.

Now to the question. What does “Targeted 100% gradeability mean”?

Larger in which way? Width, height, front-to-rear? All?
Pretty much all. The Hummer is super wide and the Traveler is more narrow but I think it's just as tall especially with the roof rack. However, the compared with the R1S the Traveler is wider but the R1S feels longer and like there is so much more body than the Traveler. But one thing I loved so much about the Traveler was how long and flat the hood is.

That hood is part of what makes her feel so big to me. She’s as wide as an F-150. She’s a big girl.

I went and test drove a Toyota Sequoia for size. Essentially the Traveler is the same footprint width and length, just on the Traveler the last 17 inches are tire carrier not car like the Sequoia. Also one time I had a Chrysler Pacifica minivan as a loaner and same. Same footprint just last 17 inches on the Traveler is tire. And I was able to get that minivan in my garage so I will be able to get my Traveler in my garage.

Now I’m talking width and length. The height is going to depend on tires and offroad setup or not and rack or rails or nothing.
 
gosh the more I see the terracotta the more I think this is the color I will get
It’s a great color in person. Not sure it’s what I want but as a red tone the only color I’ve seen close was the Miata offered a terracotta color for like a year or two. Otherwise it’s got a bit more red than I think of terracotta but very close to that description

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. 😳
I'm not sure what I'm more surprised at: That the Traveler fit in an elevator, or, the Traveler was under the weight limit for the elevator. I guess I assumed that hotel service elevators weren't quite meant for vehicles.

That thought lead me to this one- Any idea where the third brake light will be? If it's high on the hatch, you wouldn't be able to see it if you drive with the rear hatch open (if that's even possible). If you can't drive with the rear hatch open, how am I supposed to transport longer things? I definitely need to be able to transport long stuff, sticking out the rear.
You just have to have a "working" third brake light. Who says it has to be visible! 😏

Now I don’t remember seeing this information anywhere. A map of future Scout workshops. I was very happy to see Chicago listed. It does say subject to change in smaller lettering at the bottom, but this was nice to see.

I'm wondering if these numbers represents the number of shops within a certain mile radius; e.g. Los Angles 6 within a 100 miles radius, etc.? Maybe Jamie can clarify this...?

I keep saying glass roof 100%, but these two pictures my husband took of the open cabana roof. I’m back to 50/50 again. Just look at it!

Haha, those solidify my solid roof choice. I'm dumb, I need metal all around me, just in case. The darker the cabin, the happier I am. Same with my office. I ditched my corner office with glass for an interior office with no natural light. I'm still trying to convince the owners to listen to Mick Jagger, but they say it'd be too dark...
