The rear view mirror can be a camera or a regular mirror. I tried it both ways.

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.
The fact you said the interior feels dated on a 2027 car tells you everything you need to know about the direction this poor vehicle is heading. Mark me, they will strip these things down and put them on every rental car lot in America. Ladies and Gentlemen the new Jeep Compass is here
Exactly. Look at this. Dated.The fact you said the interior feels dated on a 2027 car tells you everything you need to know about the direction this poor vehicle is heading.

Love this feature on the Hummer EV because its needed, and I hope the Traveler with the spare carrier gets it too.
I hope Scout has this. I have it in my Rav4 and it has come in very handy when I fill up the back to where you can no longer see from the mirror. Just one flip on the tab and now I can see again.
When I got in the seat was all the way to the floor. They said they do that to make it easier to get into. It really wasn’t necessary. It was t that tall. It felt tight un the seat. I think it’s because the center console is so wide. I never felt that way sitting in the Traveler. I know it’s wider, but only 4 inches wider than the Recon.
It’s just bulky.

The steering wheel was kind of a squircle. I did like that shape.
The center screen was fairly large. The backup camera was a nice view. It had the overhead view.
Oh it will also park itself apparently.

This is a little blurry but this was the screen it showed when I turned it off. So it’s showing 20% charge with a range of 42 miles. That doesn’t sound great.
To open the door it’s a button not a handle. I much prefer a handle. The door had a panel of white leather and it was dirty already. The car only has 71 miles on it and the white already had dirt marks on it.
As much as I like the light colored leather on a door, I’m sticking with something else that won’t get dirty. I actually really like the hemp wood in the Terra.

If the Scout didn’t exist and I was looking for a new car and I had driven the Recon and the R2 I would have gotten the R2.
The Recon just doesn’t feel like you are getting the value for money. It’s a 400V so the charging is slower and I just don’t like the interior at all.
Oh also, the salesman asked me what else I was looking at. I told him an R2. He said oh we have a used one already. The owner of the dealership bought one and didn’t like it so they have it on the lot already.
I looked it up, $72,409 for a launch edition. Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s more than they cost new isn’t it?

All this to say, thank goodness the Scout Traveler exists. I can’t wait!
"Why you will never buy a Jeep Recon in 20 pictures" LOL.
Based on the tire info (265/70R18), those are 32" tires . So a 33" tire won't be noticeably larger. You had better stick with your plan for the 35" tires on your Scout @cyure .

I have a 285/70R17 on my Wrangler and I love them. Maybe it’s the 17” wheel that makes them look bigger to me.Based on the tire info (265/70R18), those are 32" tires . So a 33" tire won't be noticeably larger. You had better stick with your plan for the 35" tires on your Scout @cyure .
