  • 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.

    High level use case - full time camper topper

    Agreed! Just watched the TFL update video yesterday and really appreciate those small nods to the utilitarian folks, like the molly panel in the frunk. Also LOVED the pull-out table in the passenger seat! My partner and I work remotely from our car more than I'd like to admit so that we can beat...

    High level use case - full time camper topper

    Haha yeah lets rewind. Everything that you and I are discussing is a tangent from what I actually posted about, which was a camper-agnostic wishlist of vehicle features to support campers like the GFC V2. J Alynn brought up the idea of a totally proprietary camper, and I was just agreeing that...

    Good morning! Solar panel comment: Specifically what I was referring to when tangentially mentioning solar panels being part of a proprietary camper was a significant amount of solar, and enough to charge the vehicle to a meaningful degree. Not just slapping a panel on the roof, which yes you...

    Tow range

    True. Ram is claiming 130kw from their 3.6 V6 for the Ramcharger, and Google says that's 280hp - 305hp-- but I'm not sure if HP is calculated differently when removing the transmission from the equation? But yeah I've been waiting for actual test units to start rolling for the Ramcharger so we...

    Thank you! Great about the window! I thought I had seen a rendering showing the window going down but couldn't recall. I think that's going to be hugely important! Also love to hear that about air suspension-- the R1T is currently the only truck that would fit in my garage with an in-bed camper...

    Tow range

    Interesting, okay I guess I assumed the harvester wouldn't be able to push enough power to maintain battery level when towing, or maybe you're thinking it would just slowly chip away at the 30% buffer? Makes me wonder if you ran in "hybrid" mode the whole time if you could hit 200 mile stops...

    Thanks! Excited to have a vector to channel my excitement around series-hybrid vehicles :)

    Tow range

    I vibe with your math! I think you're implying that when towing you're looking at about 175 miles of gas range, and 75 miles of electric range-- so a theoretical maximum of 250 miles towing, likely filling up at the 200 mile mark or just before.. Doesn't seem to bad to me. Towing my 27'...

    Opportunity to take this truck/suv to the next level for overlanding / car camping.

    LOVE where your head is at! I just posted a thread and we're basically saying the same thing-- but I love specifically your idea about creating a conducive surface for sealing a truck camper to the cab, as well as having DC power alongside the inverter. Tri-fuel engine is clever but sounds like...

    High level use case - full time camper topper

    Hey all! This is my first post, so I apologize if this is improper or duplicative in some way. I have a desire for the Terra at a high level, which I think ultimately serves creating the best vehicle. I see this idea as filling a hole in the market due to no vehicle specifically delivering on...
