  • 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 do realize Scout has never indicated it would go higher then 350. Since we are several years from release, Chevy getting close 500...

    :) To be sure, this is a simplification and there are a bunch of additional factors that weigh in. It’s just a starting place to...

    It’s also not to say that SM is a bit conservative and might be able to squeeze out another 20-50 miles range

    Ah there it is. Thank you. That's the math I was missing. Putting weight aft of the axle is taking away from the hitch weight, which is...

    Payload doesn’t care about weight distribution (much). If you put 300 extra pounds of genset, cooling, etc. anywhere into the Harvester...

    I think you're dead on, but I'm curious about one quibble: You mention tongue weight being the limiting factor due to how far back the...

    Considering they’ve announced 350 I’m not sure how people can be upset that it doesn’t get 400. It has never been stated to be higher...

    I think that for 99% of people the BEV is plenty. I have a Rivian with a rated range of 330. I typically get 300 or so on longer drives...
