  • 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.

    Retrofitting a winch

    I've got the fire, but a single malt instead of a hot toddy. Really can't wait to see how the Terra (or Traveler) does in the snow.

    Retrofitting a winch

    Thank you everyone for your responses. Seems like going with a modern winch will just be easier. I hope Scout will be releasing some final specs on a winch within the year. So the Belleview will just have to wait until my next Rover :) Apropos of nothing, here in Connecticut, we are getting...

    New Scout Colors

    I’m hoping they go with some retro colors. I’d love for avocado green, or whatever IH called it back in the day.

    It's the Belleview 6000. Has three cables that operated the winch from inside the cab.

    Retrofitting a winch

    Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to retrofit an older winch onto a modern truck. I have an old Belleview electric winch that was once on my 1967 Land Rover. I don't have the Rover anymore but I kept the winch and all its controls. Is it feasible to have this be hooked up to a Terra when I...
