  • 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.

    How much personalization/modification ability do you want to see in the new Scout?

    This thread is long, so this may have been mentioned already. For any menu that shows the vehicle, have it match the actual factory vehicle color as a default, with the ability to customize the color for those who like to wrap their vehicles. I hate seeing generic "grey" vehicles in my current...

    Road Trip in a VW Buzz: Success or Train Wreck

    I have this issue with my 2016 VW Golf R. I hope Scout plans for these problems with upgradable communication HW from the start.

    Scout Motors at CES 2025

    I also watched the Out of Spec video; the UX was great. I don't have vision issues, but I agree with @Scoutsie that some of the temporary icons need to be more significant to be seen and recognized at a glance while driving. Sure, at some point, it will be muscle memory, but until that happens...

    Upgradable WiFi chipset hardware

    I can't agree more with everything said in this thread. I hate how I have a car that once had "connectivity" but is now "dumb" because there is no upgrade to the 3G modem.

    HUD

    I would be okay with a HUD with helpful information (navigation, entertainment, communication info like who's calling, etc.), but if it's just speed and a speed limit indicator, I'll pass.

    Frunk Fridge

    I missed this info. Thank you for sharing. That sounds awesome.

    360 Camera Auto On

    It would be excellent if the cameras were available at all speeds, had expandable storage, and could auto-record/save for an accident or emergency.

    Say hello to the new Scout® Terra™ Truck and Scout® Traveler™ SUV

    Terra with Harvestor reserved. I've been waiting a long time for today and I couldn't be happier. Great job on the designs. 2027 can't come soon enough.
