  • 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 Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Looks like Metal Cloak adjustable links and panhard bar are next! Don’t want the balancing weigh getting ripped off of the driveshaft.

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Couldn't resist to go test it out… articulates quite a bit now in my ditch testing. Didn’t hit the bump stop surprisingly. If I disconnect the rear sway bar again it would probably flex a lot more. But… I forgot about the fuel tank skid plate clearance with the driveshaft now that I have...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Installed Dirt King upper and lower control arms yesterday… in the rain. Set up a little party tent over the Lexus and got after it, so I don’t have many photos. They are significantly beefier than stock with serviceable and greaseable Moog ball joints. The Dirt King lowers are especially...

    They really stepped it up with the 200 Series. Very much a Luxury vehicle that can keep up with Jeeps Offroad. Heated and cooled leather seats. Super quiet cabin. Lots of features and creature comforts. Their traction control software is pretty incredible. Definitely not a Rolls Royce but I...

    I was basically homeless after my divorce and had to take out an 8% car loan to buy my 2004 GX470. Paid it off early last month. Could not imagine trying to roll an old note into a new vehicle and be upside down with these current crazy interest rates. Some people I know have $1,600/month...
