  • 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.

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    I wonder about the stability of gas in a gas range extender. It seems like they could reduce the engine size if they used diesel. And with a stabilizer, diesel lasts for quite a long time. Or, I wonder if they would use propane to power the range extender. However, that would not have the...

    Backseat of the Traveller, fold down? camping?

    What is the length of the traveler's back when the back seat is folded down? One of the neat features of my Dad's old Scout was that when the back seat was folded down, we could lay in the back and "camp." The tent was more comfortable, but we had to resort to the Scout when it rained so hard...

    What kind of tech do you expect enabled in the car or interface?

    Hope to see Scout support Wireless Apple Carplay. Just rented an Audi with it and it was amazing.

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    Tech I would like to see is a range extender. Lots of ideas, wankel, single stage, alt fuel. Electric drive train with a generator running at optimal fuel efficiency.
