Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

  • 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.
Every local fleet should run EV's, as well as first-responders. No-brainer, its starting to happen as ICE fleets age and depreciate.

Yesterday, I was following an Amazon delivery van that was still ICE. I didn't even realize how quickly they'd swapped to all EV on their fleet around here, but virtually every Amazon delivery vehicle is Rivian now. Definitely makes sense for fleets when you have a defined range you drive every day.

Welcome still have a lot driving enterprise vans because they can’t grow inventory fast enough

I'd be curious to know how Amazon allocates vans, but I'm guessing adequate charging infrastructure at their facilities would be the main factor. Charging lines and lines of vans overnight has gotta suck down some serious juice.

Makes complete sense and we have a ton of new Amazon warehouse in south central PA and unless they are hidden I don’t see a ton of chargers. Don’t get me wrong we have a lot of the new EV versions driving around but guessing growth in our area means they just haven’t been able to keep up with we’ve had like 3 or 4 significant warehouses come online in past 2 years so the ramp up may have exceeded allocation/build rate from manuf.

The only thing that’s keeping me there is my lifetime warranty. If it wasn’t for that I would be gone already.
It really sucks because they used to have a lot of great products and often some very innovative ideas. Now they keep the rental fleets full, the recall notice printers in business and attract demographics that I do not identify with. I do hope they right the ship.

Could be some competition to the Traveler:

Based on the RAM frame/architecture, so I assume the EREV could apply equally and this could become a heavier-duty Traveler for those wanting to tow more.

Dodge announced the EREV pickup (are they still calling it "REV"?) back in 2023 with deliveries in 2025. They still have not delivered the EREV. I would not put any money on them delivering a SUV EREV in time to challenge Scout.

This prototype was spotted in New York Airport and looks like it could be the Scout Prototype vehicle they have been testing. The model looks to be an EV and also has the rear recovery hooks like the one on the Traveler concept cars

Do you mean the Frankenstein mules? Because other than the recovery hooks everything else is wrong.
