Scout "Base" by LastDayScout

  • 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.

There has been a lot of discussion about what a base model should be and what it might include. So, I envisioned a modern base/clear version of the vintage Grenoble Green. It features natural aluminum 18” wheels and BFG Trail Terrain T/A+ 275/65R18 tires, roof rails and two versions of the rear appliqué. The interior bench seating is covered in Sunbrella Peat fabric. The dash and door inserts are brushed aluminum. My 1980 Scout das had a brushed aluminum dash. There are two variations of the rear tailgate applique.

What do you all think? How do you envision a Scout base model?

Great work on this, I really enjoy the simplistic design. Today's base model would have been Luxury ~7 years ago. Your design looks very sleek and it's evident you put a lot of effort into this. Really enjoy the dash as this may be easier to maintain over time and doesn't draw attention away from other elements of the interior. I have been indifferent of the rear blackout paneling/mask and this helps visualize what a body color may look like.

Looks great. Love the rear appliqué-almost enough to lose the tire carrier. And the brushed metal interior looks really good. Lot of it but I like it a lot

That is a good color. I would prefer a deeper darker green but I do like that. Is it a specific color green, or is it a prompt? Either way, it works quite well. Scout Motors, @Jamie@ScoutMotors and @aileen.barraza I hope you are seeing this valuable information!
I keep asking gemini for "cooked spinach green" :)
And you're right, my '80 Scout II was a bit darker...
