  • 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.

    Interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if they sold that in other markets before bringing it here. Assembly location will be a big factor too. The popular Defender is made in Slovakia and gets a 25% tariff. Of course, by the time that comes to market those tariffs could be gone.

    CGI Traveler Street Truck https://www.autoevolution.com/news/scout-motors-traveler-sport-suv-feels-ready-for-a-cgi-return-to-glory-of-street-savvy-suvs-253194.html I'm not sure if this has been posted before. Personally, I find it to be an abomination. But we're all entitled to our opinions.

    Double charge ports

    It does. NACS on one side, J1772 on the other. However, the NACS is DC-only. A level 2 charger means using the J1772 port.

    Chavannigans posted the same press release here 8 minutes after posting it there. Is there something else I'm not understanding?

    Hagerty has a great video on the XJ. Surprisingly, it's close to a VW Golf GTI in size (not in height or ground clearance obviously)! Times have definitely changed.

    There isn't any new information here, but it's probably most useful for size comparison. Andre says he's about 6'3 and 240 lb. We can see him standing next to it, as well as sitting in the front and rear seats.
