  • 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.

    Bench Seat vs Standard

    I will say, that while I'm still on team "bench seat", if the bench seat was a plain/simple bench seat without a folding console/ability to independently change leg room for at least the driver and front right passenger, I'd likely be rethinking it. And on modern vehicles, the 6th seat while...

    Rivian’s R2 will 'underpin' all future Volkswagen EVs, exec says

    Thanks Jamie! The whole "suspension tuning" bit got me thinking it was more than just the Zonal software that VW was thinking would be used across multiple models. But I always assumed that the Scout wouldn't use the hardware platform, so I'm glad to hear that is confirmed :).

    Rivian’s R2 will 'underpin' all future Volkswagen EVs, exec says

    I've read this differently since this news was dropped a week or two ago. They specifically say "platform", and not just "software". And they talk about things like "suspension tuning". So personally, this feels like they're announcing that the R2 will be the underpinning for ALL of the new...

    May 2025 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    I went back and checked what it was like when I first started checking, just because I was curious. Here is a rough side by side thrown together in paint, of Sept 2024, and May 2025 Progress has been made :).

    SCOUT TRAVELER FAQ

    1) The prototypes use NACS, I believe that is also what is planned for the production models? 2) I believe that we've seen automagic route planning in some of the UX videos, but perhaps I'm hallucinating like AI :D. 3) Some of this has been discussed. Manual locker controls are confirmed...

    Travelall 3 Row

    I sort of buy that argument. But, also, sort of not. The Kia EV9, and Kia Telluride are very similarly sized in most dimensions. The rear hip room is different by less than an inch. But the Telluride offers 3 seats in the rear, while the EV9 does not. I actually think the way the Honda Pilot...

    Travelall 3 Row

    I've got two siblings that each need 7-8 passenger minivans, to go to church, or a soccer game, or whatever, because they have 5-6 kids, all under age 16. In fact, at least 2 other local families here that have had to go with chevy express/ford transit vans to fit all the kids (9 kids in one...

    Accessories Poll For Scouts

    Out of curiosity, what exactly are you envisioning here? I'm a pretty avid mountain biker, and a lockable area where you can fit your bike is a popular request for the truly avid cyclists that like to travel, so I hear that. But modern mountain bikes are quite long, and tall, and I just don't...

    Scout Traveler SUV Green Off-Road Concept

    I feel grateful that while we have a lot of deer here, they don’t seem inclined to dart out into traffic. Here is a group of 5-7 that sleeps in my backyard a couple times a week. I wouldn’t mind it so much, but they eat all of our plants (we planted 400 tulips one year… and none of them...

    Scout Traveler SUV Green Off-Road Concept

    Agreed. I really do like the steel bumpers, and recovery points. Personally I’ve never been big on the light bar hoop/stinger (even when I was more serious into rock crawling) and would prefer if you can get the bumper without it. But that said, I get it. I wouldn’t want the off-road package...

    Young Scout Enthusiasts!

    Late 30's here too. The Redcat Gen8 v2 Scout is my first 1/10 scale crawler. I had a Panda Hobby Tetra X2 for a few years. I got that one during covid "for the kids", as it was 1/18 scale, and we could actually play with it inside the family room. I will say that the 1/10 scale ones while not...

    Size comparison

    Not just that, but the occasional tree down on the trail/road, or branch you're backing under while you're pulling into a campsite, that sort of stuff. Could be a nice feature.

    Scout Traveler SUV Green Off-Road Concept

    Totally agree. Thats one of the reasons I'd be down with the bumpers, but I just don't want to make it harder to get into the frunk if possible.

    Young Scout Enthusiasts!

    Thats what I keep telling myself! And I really do hope to keep up my current lifestyle for another 20-30 years. Although I've got a decade on the OP o_O. Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming. I'm stoked to have a 6 passenger vehicle of the same "vibe" as my jeep, which is sort...
