  • 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.

    Girl Scout Cookies

    I understand. There is simply too much stuff for the kids to do today. Our kids were doing different after school groups almost every evening out of the week. Virtually every other kid is the same. Add to that, each one of those other things want to be all consuming in and of themselves. My...

    Camper Shell

    I could use a 2nd truck, I want an SUV. If the Terra came with a Norweld style bed, it would make it a lot more tempting to me. If they offered a Norweld style topper.... Well it is almost the best of both worlds. That said, 2 reasons I don't already own it now. 1) My wife said NO, HELL...

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

    I am probably just jaded. I have watched too many start up vehicle companies have interested ideas and never get them really past that. Some try to make test mules, others bolt their bodies on someone else's vehicle (to make them look further down the road than they actually are). Other's...

    Interesting Offroad Behavior of a Lightning

    Kind of reminds me of what can happen if you jack up both tires on the same axle. You can spin one forward and the other might want to spin in reverse.

    Girl Scout Cookies

    Personally, I would advise against it. Both groups have become politicized-especially on the national level. The politicization of both groups have had them both be disbanded locally- with Heritage Girls and Trail Life replacing them for a while. I know EV's have a history of being...

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

    The Alphamotors Wolf looked great on that video. That said, when I went to the website-well the front end is hideous without the brush guard. They have some proposed variants that would be extreamly tempting if they existed, but they are not even ones that allow reservations. Big thing...

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

    Just got the bid of turning a front and rear covered porch on my new home to a wrap around porch. Now if fairness, the front and rear were not full porches-so the add on segments were 50-60' each. The bid was 150k - just for the covered porches. Prices are above insane. Going to ask the...

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

    It will happen, but hard NO. I also really, really hope the brand does not tarnish it's reputation with making that a factory option. Sure it will gain a few sales, but loose 10x that many due to people not wanting to be associated with it. Just look at the death of Cadillac. Mostly a joke...

    Camping

    Had a shell on a Dodge, then later an F150. F150 camped like hell because it had a 5.5' bed. As for leaking. Never really noticed a lot of leaking when camping - but if I left certain things in the front of the bed for a few weeks, they would get moldy. As such, I knew there was a moisture...

    Will Scout Offer a Premium Audio Option?

    A premium sound system is all but worthless unless you can control the road and wind noise getting inside. But that said, if the interior is quiet enough-I have enjoyed most of the stock (probably premium stock, given trim levels) on my semi modern vehicles.

    Optional 37” Tires

    Would rather have 2" more suspension travel than tire size-but that is practical, not sexy.

    Optional 37” Tires

    I forget if I have 8" or 10" 33's on my LJ. Wish they were KO2's - but when I got them, virtually no 33" KO2's were available. I took off 12" 35" after I got it, then re-geared as well - It still had the stock gears for 28" tires.

    What government and private sectors could you see Scout being successful in commercially? (Police, military, S&R, Delivery, etc)

    Could potentially work as a mail vehicle - but the price point is difficult, and honestly rural routes are damn hard on vehicles. The battery life might be good enough for a day of mail delivery-but how would the Scout hold up day after day, and could repairs be done quickly enough to keep them...

    suggestion for front shape, Traveler may be

    I could rant-but no, just NO. Don't make it just another EV-make it a Scout.

    [Terra] Double cab with a 6.5' bed

    While nobody builds EV trucks with 6.5' beds, I think there are gas ones available as special order (never seen one in a dealership). That said, going to 3/4 ton almost always gets you a longer bed. Likewise, extend cabs (vs crew cabs) are virtually extinct. They exist as special orders, and...
