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.
See I don’t want to be thinking oh my Traveler is fine, but I’m really waiting for….

After I see them this weekend I’m going to revisit my must have list. I’m excited to see the glass roof in Mountainside. That will help me decide cabana or glass.
Oooh, I didn't see the glass roof in the Mountainside! That's on my spec list! Any pictures and info you can get about that would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah I know what you mean, but since I've had a glass roof in my last two vehicles I'm ready to open things up! Team Cabana all the way.

It's funny that you're on the opposite perspective in that you've always been able to take your top off, (I'm referring explicitly to your Jeep lol) so I guess the saying you always want what you don't have has some truth to it.

What's funny though is I did not even realize Mountainside had a glass roof. I've been so hype focused on the cabana I can't believe I didn't even notice. I'm sure there are pros and cons to both but after having a full glass roof if there is no retractable cover it sucks in the summer, but if you have to put a shade over it, then what's the point?

Hold up: Actually looking at the latest pic it looks like there is room for a retractable cover. I doubt we'll get confirmation this early though.

If I recall correctly, I believe Scout has either soft confirmed a retractable shade or it's a rumor with absolutely nothing to back it up. Either one. Your choice!

Seriously though, I though my R1T would be an oven with the glass roof and haven't noticed an issue. I'm in Minnesota though and nowhere near the sunbelt.
