  • 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.

    Traveler NEEDS the bench seat

    Where did you see this? It sounds like someone is spreading FUD about the Scouts. It would be nice to be able to refute that at the source so other people reading it know that is not true.

    A YouTuber (Technology Connections) explains how the Toyota Hybrid system works.

    Under Front Seat Vents

    Will they have vents under the front seats? Since this is designed as an off-road vehicle, I would assume there would not be vents in the floor to prevent water damage.

    5klbs towing cap with gas range extender?

    You got 30mpg in a 3500HD diesel towing 8K? How the heck did you manage that? I have a couple of friends that have HD diesels (for their horse trailers) and they don't get above 20mpg even without the trailer.

    Please don't put the Harvester engine behind/below the rear axle

    Scout has already confirmed multiple times that the Harvester genset will be in the rear. If that is a deal breaker for you, you will need to look for another vehicle to meet your needs.

    ...or enough brute force.

    Sorry to hear about the hazard in your area. Hopefully their (IMO rather drastic) measures to reduce the fire risk work.

    I was not trying to predict what color it would be. I was pointing out that the image shown looked like a render, not a picture of the actual Traveler.

    Off-topic stuff…

    You can never have too many lights when the power goes out! 😁 If you don't have an inverter yet, Ryobi has a good selection for both the 18V and 40V batteries. With 120V AC power outlets and USB-A and USB-C outlets, they are super useful to have on hand when the power goes out.

    Judging from the lack of accessories, I bet that is a render. I would not expect the Traveler to be that color (white) in the April/May 2026 events.

    Scout Color Poll #1

    That car color was probably named by the same people that named the vegetable "red onion."

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    @SpaceEVDriver You need to check the math on this chart. For Level-2 240V 30amp, the table has "Miles recharged per hour = 18" and in the next cell the table has "Hours to recharge 40 miles = 5.6". That can't be right. If you are recharging 18 miles per hour, it will only take 2.2 hours to...

    Home Charger Reviews and FAQs

    Just in case you are not aware - an "RV hookup" is just a 50 amp NEMA 14-50 plug, which is the same plug used by level-2 EV chargers. If you have him install an EV rated outlet (just a few dollars more than a standard NEMA 14-50 outlet), you can use those outlets for both the RV and for EV...

    Home Charger Reviews and FAQs

    The brief description looks fine, but at that price you'll want to make sure of a couple things: Make sure the line is wired into the panel with an appropriate circuit breaker. The breaker should stay off until the other end is hooked up. It says installed at a customer specified location; if...

    Heat Pump / Pure BEV / Winter Performance (and Battery Chemistry)

    I don't see anything official on the Scout Motors FAQ about what battery chemistry they are using, but Scott mentioned the battery chemistry during his interview with Jay Jeno. Here is a quote from an Inside EVs article about it:
