  • 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.

    Having seen it in person I don’t think it’s canted. It didn’t look like it to me anyway.

    Better than a tablet glued to the dashboard! I understand the decisions that lead designers to canting a screen towards the driver, but...

    That's good to know, they're almost like the Scout with the low/wide screen which I like so much... but since it's canted toward the...

    Apparently Chevy came to the same conclusion to some extent since they're putting the big screen in all models starting with the new...

    I'm talking about if they come out with a $48k work truck that barely resembles anything we've seen thus far. So far, everything I've...

    Some of the original names were good: SSII (Super Scout II), Rallye, Aristocrat...not sure I would reuse Red Carpet or Champagne though

    Hmm, I'm not opposed to road types: Asphalt/Blacktop Gravel Fire Road/Washout/Logging Road Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.

    Apologies, but I don’t think calling a $60,000 vehicle bare bones is right. That’s $10,000 more than the average cost of a new car. If...

    I guess I'm just not seeing enough from Scout to warrant different trims yet, only options or maybe packages so far. I definitely don't...
