  • 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.

    I don't want to drive it lol, it's probably 10 million dollars. But I do want to show it to my subscribers, who trend a little older and set in their ways. Surprisingly open to my off grid camper and things like that when a case is laid out for them though lol. It also gives me a convenient...

    Who could have guessed marking up the exact same models 10% each year for years, while investing all your profit into stock buybacks, wouldn't sustain record profits forever? :ROFLMAO:

    Built-in hydraulic or electric jacks

    With a solid rear axle and full frame, jack points are far less critical, and more plentiful.

    What are you driving until release?

    Now that my Ram is gone, I have a crew cab 2500 with a 454 I'm using for truck duties, but I'm inclined to wrap this up as well. My 1997 F-250 on 2008 F-350 chassis, 12v Cummins, ZF5. Been poking along on it for a few years now.

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    I tow and haul regularly, currently with a crew cab 454 2500 lol. But it's all within 100 miles, except a once a year trip to Michigan's UP, 350 miles, that I just use our Gladiator for anyway. For the 1800 people who live in BFE Idaho, I understand the infrastructure isn't there, but I look...

    Will do, thank you, excited to show some of the gasoline forever crowd some of this :) Pretty sure a production Traveler would handily outrun my turbo C10 lol.

    They had 5.5 billion in profit last year. Less margin than 23, but hardly imminent doom.

    Michigan 800

    There's a salvage yard in Gowen Mi with about a dozen Scouts in it, good for trim and bits and bobs, not much else, but might be worth your time.

    Great, I can make it there. I take it filming will be allowed? For my normal Youtube subscribers, this is way outside of their wheelhouse, or comfort zone.

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    I switched my Terra from Harvester to EV. Don't need the EREV cost, complexity, or range.

    The Road to Scout Production - All the latest updates in one place...

    Almost every "spy" photo of a mule, test rig, you've ever seen, the manufacturer wanted you to see. Otherwise they stay at the proving grounds, or get body swapped altogether. Just another JK going down the road, or whatever.

    Partnering with an EV camper

    My normal camper, a Grand Design Transcend One, doesn't care what pulls it, and it's 100% off grid.

    What do you love or hate about other off-road vehicles

    One of the things I hate about my Gladiator, which is the only modern offroad vehicle I own, is how much I'm limited by various traction, stability, and anti lock nannies in off road situations. Nothing like climbing 2/3 of a hill because the PCM decided I didn't actually need full throttle...
