New Scout Traveler Concept Added - Mountainside Theme

  • 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.

We now have another Scout Traveler concept alongside our existing Traveler and Terra pickup truck concepts. The theme for this new Traveler is called Mountainside. Whereas our other Traveler showcases what an off-road-equipped Scout can look like, Mountainside shows a more urban and clean approach. It shows the Traveler for the first time without a rear tire carrier, no roof bars, a panoramic glass roof, 22" wheels, brown/black paint, and a stunning leather, houndstooth, tweed, and wood-accented interior. You can read more about it on Scout Stories HERE.

She may not be my build, but boy is she pretty. This shows how versatile the Traveler can be. Do I spy a glass roof?
 
Yes, agreed, not for me, but sharp & very clean!

I can't tell, but did the silver bits on the bumper and chin get grayed-out? If so, that is great touch. I would love to see that on the Terra, too.

I may need to dust-off my ascot and smoking jacket for a test drive in this refined looking rig.

(EDIT: I would take the interior all day on the Terra)

Loving those fabric combinations ❤️
 
Oh, here’s the Blog story. It’s on both the new builds!

The wheels on the Mountainside are the wheels that were on the Pacific Mist Traveler.

After seeing this I’m still 110% tire carrier, aggressive tires and wheels and a color (PBY perhaps).

This build looks like it has a glass roof. Now I need to see this in person because that’s the one thing I’m back to 50/50 on. I really don’t know.

Love that they are thinking outside of the box.

 
I really like this theme and it's likely closer to how I would outfit it than the offroad theme. I have my 2006 Wrangler LJ for my offroad needs so my Traveler will be for around town and hopefully for towing the LJ to the trails.

I've been wanting to see a version without the tire carrier ever since the original launch. Was mainly curious how the design team would handle the look of the tailgate. I think they did a great job, but I'll have to see both in person before making a decision one way or the other. How exactly they handle the spare tire situation will play in to it as well.

Hey @Jamie@ScoutMotors, is there any thought being given to a retractable shade for the glass roof? I love the glass, but I know how hot my current vehicles get during the summer when I don't have the shades drawn.

Oh and I'll need some kind of cross rail on the roof since I need a place to get my surfboard to the beach.

This is way more like what I want! No roof rails and no tire carrier! I am not 100% on the wheel offset. They seem a little bit too wide. But, that might just be the pictures. I really like the interior except the wood. It looks like plywood to me and is way to busy for an otherwise beautiful, subtle interior palette.

I could be wrong but I thought @J Alynn stated they were told at the launch event it would have one. J?

I am looking at the pictures again a little more thoroughly. It appears that the suspension has not really changed meaning it is still somewhat lifted/offroad spec. I think this concept would look better if it were a little lower without so much tire to fender gap. If it has air suspension, the pictures should represent the highest/offroad setting. Wow, I like this version!

Anxious to see the glass but I want open roof experience

Is that because she’s on 35s? This is the wheel from the Pacific Mist Traveler so it’s a 22 with a 35. Just looks like a street tire this time around. Would having a smaller wheel/tire package bring it down a notch so to speak?

Agree. I like a much simpler wood grain. I initially thought this was the hemp again. Just too busy for my tastes
