  • 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.

    Terra 5th Wheel Towing?

    Terra 5th Wheel Towing?

    I hear ya, but the Terra is body-on-frame construction, like a conventional pickup, wheareas the Rivian is a kind of a funky unibody kinda hybrid frame. It makes sense that you couldn't use in-bed rails that span across the battery and attach/bolt the frame on the Rivian. I see no reason why...

    Terra 5th Wheel Towing?

    I guess the thing maybe I'm not getting across well enough is that I'm talking about smaller, lighter 5th wheel/gooseneck trailers, which I, and many others have. Ones that fall within the allowable towing ratings. Unfortunately, as soon as many people hear the words 5th wheel trailer...

    Terra 5th Wheel Towing?

    In regards to towing capacity/weight, my current 2001 F250 (that I want to retire) that I use to haul our small stock trailer and small holiday trailer have nearly identical towing capacity ratings to the predicted Terra ratings. I get that they're not gonna be able tow the monster trailers...

    Terra 5th Wheel Towing?

    That is very interesting, thank you. That is precisely what I hope to also be able to do with the Terra; install standard rails to accommodate both my gooseneck ball plate, and my 5th wheel hitch.

    Terra 5th Wheel Towing?

    Has anyone heard if the Terra will be 5th wheel/gooseneck trailer capable? Sure hope so. Would be nice to know if a person could tow their smaller 5th wheel holiday trailer and/or their gooseneck stock trailer. I would assume that being body-on-frame construction, one could span across the...

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    5th wheel/gooseneck trailer towing capability! Seeing as it's body on frame construction, I would think one could span across the battery width, with standard hitch "rails" in the bed and anchor to the frame, just like they do with conventional trucks?
