  • 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.

    They are the same. Rivian is responsible and has a TW of 500 pounds and towing of 5000 pounds without a WDH. Chevrolet apparently...

    This is another really big point that pains our engineers all the time. People don't read the manual and heed all the caveats and...

    That’s awesome! Love the idea of moving battery forward to put the tank under the seat. Can’t wait to see the full production versions

    This is very interesting. I had no idea the tow rating and tongue weight capacity were so low on the Ford 150 without a WDH. In the...

    Couple of additional points to mention (at this stage). A very early cutaway/rendered image we showed had the gas tank up front. We...

    Oh, no, it wouldn’t be cheap to do. And at some point the brakes would need to be beefed up, which is the point I stop being interested...

    Scout would be wise to limit to 5000 lbs without a WDH. You can tow a decent size travel trailer behind a Tesla Model 3 with the right...

    Yep - me too of course that habit has gotten me peed on a couple of times with very excitable pups!
