  • 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.

    Keep the weight down please

    My f150 aluminum and it’s plenty tough. Also not a spot of rust now after 10 years in MN, but also landrover defenders of the school type are aluminum panels. And they are one of the top off-roaders. Even wrangler is doing some lightweight panels. So I would throw out carbon polymer, same s...

    Audio System Brand Poll 2.0

    I had Bose in my Tahoe in the 90s the system sounded good until speakers blew and found out everything was proprietary and replaced it all with aftermarket. I would prefer name brand in top aftermarket audio so you know you can replace or upgrade later.

    Diesel Range Extender option please.

    I think the rang extender is a great idea for any electric car right now. They have the ability to make this kind of modular. Offering a diesel option would give you likely more range from the same tank, and potentially a quieter and more durable motor. I love the idea of a scout that could...
