Charlotte Scout Harvester Festival, September 26th

  • 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.
Next question, will we be able to sit in the concept vehicles? @Jamie@ScoutMotors
Now I know this sounds contradictory as I have, but it’s very rare to get to sit in the concepts.

If they have the short barrier up, then I would say the answer is no. If the event is crowded then definitely no. I have asked myself and been told no on multiple occasions.

I just was very, very fortunate to be afforded an opportunity to sit in the Traveler. Even if you can’t sit in them, it’s still worth the trip to see the concepts. They are amazing and this NC event looks like tons of fun. If we hadn’t just traveled to SC two weeks ago we would totally be going.

Oh 100%. We have a bronco 4 door and we love it but it is a little cramped for my wife, toddler, and medium large breed dog (albeit a puppy at the moment) I also have a 2019 raptor that will be replaced by this or maybe something else. All of that to say, did the traveler feel more comfortable and roomier than a 4 door bronco?

I have test driven a 4-door Bronco but not ridden in one for a long period of time. I have a 4-door Wrangler and it’s definitely roomier than that. For sure. The Traveler is as wide as an F-150. She’s wide, which helps with the roominess, in my opinion.
 
I’m thinking location as well. Living in Charlotte so close to the plant and corporate office will help with a sooner delivery but, I’m guessing.
Not sure that will be the case. Presuming they build based on reservation order than what combos they build based on available parts will likely dictate the delivery times

99% chance of not. I was lucky in NYC because they had a lull with onlookers but if any more than 3 or 4 people are around it’s a definite no. I suspect Aspen will be very busy. But getting up close is still amazing and give a whole different point of view for the vehicles

Had a Bronco. This feels SO MUCH roomier especially with the open hole in roof. Obviously not topless like Bronco can do but it is very spacious

Just remember that these are concept vehicles. The seats and controls can't be adjusted and are non-production materials, so even if you were allowed to sit in one (doubtful) you would not be able to adjust anything or judge the "feel." I am planning to see them in Boston when they will be displayed at the Head of the Charles Regatta, and I won't even bother to ask to get inside. I will likely place an early order, but will not finalize it until I can sit in a production vehicle. I am 6'5" so I need a lot of headroom and leg room.
