  • 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.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I’ve wanted to do a trip to Dead Horse or Tuktoyaktuk. Probably in 2028. I would definitely be down to link up in a Northern state and ride together. I was a mechanic in my past life and know first aid.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    All the renders we have seen, and descriptions from Scout have stated the Harvester Generator will live BEHIND the rear axle.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    So basically Scout confirmed what they announced initially. I don’t recall deliveries being promised in 2027. Just that production starts that year. There will still be testing, validation, and press reviews well before they reach customers hands, like any other vehicle launch. It sounds like...

    Off-topic stuff…

    My youngest’s birthday was today. We were wiped out after it was over so I took a nap. Apparently I slept through a few Tornado warnings

    I always tell people, “The mafia never went away. They just learned to legislate their livings.”

    Yall are a bunch of nerds! Lol That’s so cool that you have managed to keep that going so long. Hard to find and keep fiends like that. A group adopted me and folded me into their campaign. Never played previously. We have been grinding through The Shattered Obelisk campaign for about 4 years...

    I know this has already been discussed, but I love that Hyundai keeps thinking outside the box with these concepts. https://electrek.co/2026/04/01/hyundai-unveils-ford-bronco-like-boulder-suv-concept-images/ I think it looks pretty awesome. Someone mentioned that Hyundai has a 10 year warranty...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Ooooof! Did you add skids to your front mounts? Fellow spirited driver, if you haven’t yet. Get some 3 way adjustable coilovers. My slow speed damping is cranked all the way down on the front and there is zero body roll in turns despite there being no sway bar. It’s amazing! I’ve never...

    it does indeed look off center but I took the shot facing the passenger front door, so it may be some perspective as well as lighting. Adjustable rear links and pan hard bar are next though. Metal Cloak makes a set for Lexus GXs with rubber style bushings that wont squeak like Johnny...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    I did manage to do some more suspension tuning this weekend. I think I may need to do some fiddling with the front bump stops. The 33" tire is absolutely stuffed in there despite adding a spacer to the new set from Perry Parts. Look at all that front droop though 😍 If I can find an RTI...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    No 3rd row, or second for that matter lol The entire reason I considered a Scout and am keeping my GX470 is the fact that Lexus ignored my calls and emails when I asked if there will be a 3rd row option on the Lexus GX550 Overtrail. I must have seating for 6 people for road trips. This is...
