  • 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.

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    The Ioniq 9 is especially nice. We test drove an Ioniq 9 and my wife would have taken that as her daily driver had she not had less than 2000 miles on her current vehicle. I'm sure she has the fever for a BEV now. I'm glad I made an extra Scout reservation a while back. ;)

    2026 Ioniq 5 XRT. It's kinda their "off-road SUV". Having a Scout, I would say it's neither an off-road nor a SUV, but it's still a fun little vehicle with lots of features and roomy interior for its size.

    I wanted to wait out my new vehicle purchase for the Scout Traveler BEV, however I had several factors that influenced me to purchasing a new ride. 1. My daily driver was getting 13-15 MPG (2001 Toyota Sequoia) 2. Daily driver - 2001 Toyota Sequoia (4.7L) with about 200K miles good for...

    Re-think Headlight Design

    I couldn't tell you how many times people asked me if I still had my "Bronco"... It felt insulting. I have nothing against Bronco, but confusing the Scout with the Bronco is something I hope doesn't come back. I think Ford did a great job with the appearance on the new Bronco but let the Bronco...

    Re-think Headlight Design

    Round headlights was probably one of my first posts in this forum. I think it was @J Alynn that replied explaining that this was the evolved Scout not a retro design but in keeping with the Scout heritage. After that sunk in and just admiring the design as a whole, I completely think Scout...

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    So is it the same Terra poster as shown previously or does it highlight the Traveler?

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    Same. From the previous comments, we're expecting a Traveler poster as well? So has anyone that ordered just the Traveler received a poster of any kind?

    Where would you like to see the Traveler and Terra this year?

    I posted a while back... https://community.scoutmotors.com/threads/where-when-can-i-see-a-scout-in-michigan.7380/post-61756 The 36th Georgia State Fair brought in over 600,000 people. Wikipedia calls it "Georgia National Fair". I think the crowds might be a little too overwhelming. The South...

    Jamie Vondruska On With ROMR

    This YouTube was my first introduction to ROMR. It was very informative, so I subscribed. I really enjoyed the latest ROMR interview with Jamie. Watched it till the end.

    Current EV owners…are you staying BEV or switching to Harvester?

    The towing is not a determining factor for me, but I looked at articles and videos about BEV performance with towing. There is one YouTube that I recall that I found interesting where this guy was testing range with different trailer loads. If I recall correctly, the weight of the load had a lot...
