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.
I just DO NOT want the windshield sprayers integrated into them. By far the one thing I hate most on jeeps. In the winter (when I need it most) any snow on the hood prevents them from workingWhat if I promise not to tie anything heavy to them?
Agree but with anything design based, there are always fundamentals which I’d hope SM prevents until folks get them out in the real world. But as my old boss always said. “There’s an ass for every seat”. And I still wonder if it was intentionally said as a play on words
Similar but same experiences and happy for each other we even saw family in NYC which was great as wellChanging the topic for a minute.
Whenever I look for Scout events I always am hoping for events close to my home.
I’ve had a shift in thinking. Last year when we went to Nats we stayed in Columbus, Ohio. A city I would most likely have never visited. Our hotel was across the street from North Market. A 150 year old market full of vendors including excellent BBQ and Mexican food and fabulous gluten free cupcakes. We ate every meal at that market during our trip.
We saw Springfield Ohio and the Navistar Semi truck plant. I know I never would have visited a working semitruck plant. They had tours of the plant in addition to all the OG Scouts and that was where I met my first forum members. Hi @Colton_Scout80 and @Tuff66. We met Chris@ScoutMotors and he was so kind and answered as many of my pesky questions as he could.
Then we went on our Chicago trip. There I met @Jamie@ScoutMotors and @CP1@scoutmotors.
Our most recent trip, we drove through states we have never driven through. We had an adventure. Yes we got to see the plant and the Traveler, but we also saw parts of Blythewood and Columbia, SC. We took a morning and walked around the SC State Capitol complex. There’s an African American history museum there and many, many statues around the grounds. We found a nearby farmers market and walked blocks through all the vendors who were selling drinks in pineapples and fresh coconut water still in the coconut. We went to a General Store that was over 100 years old. I got my very first parking ticket.
I’m now looking forward to more Scout events. We don’t even have my Traveler yet but she already has me looking forward to our next adventure.
I put an aftermarket hitch on my Pilot as well. Not for towing, but for my receiver-mounted bike rack. Which makes me think how far out a bike rack would have to sit to clear the rear spare tire.
My very first car was a Buick Skyhawk. It was a silver hatchback with an all red and white interior - like riding in a red velvet cake!
I'm pretty certain that we will see a new trailer hitch set-up/configuration with production. How does one attach a pin here? The surround could be removable to make that possible, but it still appears that the hitch receiver is sitting too flush with the bumper cover to be functional. There is also no apparent way to remove the cover (if it is removable) that I see.
Rivian's hitch receiver sits too close to the bumper assembly (with the bumper cover off). Good cue for Scout to be aware of. What I would really like to see is the Terra with a hitch installed in the receiver. Not sure if we have seen that yet!
Yes. The hitch receiver is too close for comfort.
Traveler hitch from a slightly different angle.
This also shows that the beauty cover is not yet fully designed. There’s no electrical plug. Whatever they’re going to do will be different from this.
And here’s a view of the Terra hitch:
Again, there’s no electrical connection or cutout, which means these concepts aren’t complete. That’s no surprise, but still good to remember.
And, as you note, the lock pin hole is in a really bad location for actual use.
If those too-close-to-the-body lock pin holes net me some additional towing capacity with the Traveler EREV, I'll take that inconvenience since I usually leave my hitch attached anyway.

I put one of these on my R1T for running my 1-Up MTB rack... When the rack is folded up against the tailgate, it keeps the racks away from the paint, and makes the rack easier to take on and off:

Hi-Lo Pro
The Hi-Lo Pro elevates our Hi-Lo to the next level. It features our patented FlatLock hitch cam for a zero-wobble experience, along with an added hitch lock for extra security.

For those that prefer scraping your bikes off on garages, parking decks and drive-thrus, Scout might have a motorized bike rack solution for you!I put one of these on my R1T for running my 1-Up MTB rack...

It slides back, then flips over!
I've carried bikes on roof racks and on hitch racks. I know I'm being unreasonable; but, I prefer to put my $x,000 carbon bikes behind, or better yet "IN" the vehicle.
I’m a mountain biker and don’t like the bike mounted on top. I’d much prefer behind the spare tire.
Alternately, if you put your bike up top on a glass roof, there is less danger of forgetting it's up there and going through a McD's drive thru and scraping your bike off. I may have ripped a saddle this way... allegedly.
Is this a real thing? From Scout? or an aftermarket idea? I can see a sliding, tilting roof rack as much more practical than a garbage truck dumpster tipper-type rig. Especially with a tall vehicle. I was always standing on tires and door jams to put bikes, skis, and surfboards up on my Pathfinder racks.
Based on the years I biked a lot I would have loved this. Granted I had an Acura wagon so I could just reach to load from the ground but on the scouts this is a very clever load and carry solution. As I’ve said before, just put an orange cone in front of garage door to remind yourself when you get home
With quick release front wheel inside makes total sense if by yourself. And Scout should have plenty of space
Funny we all like different. With the wagon the roof was much better but I also did t have a hitch.
