  • 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.

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    There is potentially still the issue with generator size. Scout is targeting efficiency while Ford and Dodge are likely to target tow ratings - although unless things change, it might be only bumper ratings. Nobody has done a gooseneck/fifth wheel EV truck yet. Anyway, Scout only needs about...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    It will not be an initial flop - range anxiety is a real thing. I think as charging speeds and ranges get better, the need will drop. I also think people will become more aware of the charging locations on the trips they routinely do. People will start to realize they don't need the generator...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    To date, no EV truck can do truck stuff for me. Perhaps the next Dodge or Ford EREV will - or perhaps not. Truck stuff to me includes pulling a loaded gooseneck. Sure I am not in the majority - and I love my diesel F250. It's only issue - and it is an issue with any truck that can do what it...

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    This says even less than what I thought was being reported. It did not even say that the EREV will delivered before the EV - just that the EREV deliveries are not expected to be delayed significantly. Hard to say what they are actually planning on production lines. They could easily be...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    In the past, they have said production will begin in late 2027, they are now saying deliveries will begin in 2028 - those are not mutually exclusive. Honestly, the first almost already dictated the second. Prioritizing the version with the highest number of reservations is also fairly...

    Scout delayed??

    The word prioritize does not overly worry me. It does not necessarily mean that production will be exclusively Traveler EREV - and it does make sense that more effort will go into EREV production given that they currently represent 87% of reservations. Likewise, currently the Traveler has 2x...

    Scout delayed??

    Well, while this is depressing - it also is not really news. Late 2027 production always meant that vehicles were not going to be delivered till 2028 (at least to customers - test units maybe). The depressing point is we really have no clue how many or when they will be delivered in 2028...

    Spare tire discussion

    I don't have my father's job, and don't abuse my vehicles liked his job did. On normal days, he would carry a spare in the bed (not sure if he even bothered to carry one underneath) and kept 2 more on standby. On bad days, he would have 2 in the bed, and grab the 3rd (to drop of the flats) by...

    Ford’s future small BEV vs Terra

    While I can enjoy driving a small vehicle occasionally - it simply does not fill the niche I want the Traveler for.

    Key Fob question

    Honestly, if they wanted to really mess with us - allow for phone or watch to unlock and start car - but give us actual keys to go with the buttons. Keys that don't mind getting wet - something we could strap on a life vest and play when playing with a jet ski or going swimming.

    Scout Loyalty

    I would agree that prices usually trend up - but due to market pressure (increased production, increased options, flatting of demand) and a drop in the price of both lithium and battery prices, that has not completely rang true with EV's. Plus in general, new models tended to gain range and...

    Scout Loyalty

    Lots of problems - we all want special treatment... How about a discount for buying 2 or more... Few of us can afford to pull off that hat trick.

    Battery used

    Well, last week Donut released the results of independent cell testing. For a day or two, youtube reviews were positive. This week, the same test result are being viewed as VERY negative. They provide a fingerprint of cell chemistry (cell voltage, charge rate curves, etc...) - and the...

    All terrain tires

    Depends on where in my ranch I am. I have managed to get stuck in black dirt, and wet clay, and watched others get stuck axle deep in soft sand. My whole life has been learning curves of where not to drive in certain conditions. But the wet grass issue was just embarrassing. I was not dug...

    All terrain tires

    I drive on my ranch frequently - often multiple times a day, but not quite daily. Will be moving to the ranch before the Scout is in production - so will be driving off asphalt ever time I get in the vehicle then. On road biased AT's have gotten me stuck on wet grass before (with a 4 wheel...
