  • 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.

    Bench Seats vs Cupholders

    I honestly don't know how many cup holders are in the back seats of my F250 - assume 4, but I would need to check. Door cup holders are better than nothing - good for spare drinks, worthless for something you are actively drinking. Center cup holders are the most useful. Dash are great as...

    CYURE GOES TO NC!! 9/26/26

    Would be nice if they could show some pre-production models at the anniversary - but don't think those are scheduled yet. At least there should be a full line of production ready models for the 3rd anniversary - maybe even available for test drives.

    Bench Seats vs Cupholders

    There should be room for 4 cup holders in the drop down center (Same width as a full sized truck, my full sized has 4), plus 2 in a pull out, and maybe 2 more in the door panel (which is the 8 I currently enjoy).

    Normally don't disk Tesla, but can not resist this one. Jet thrusters are great, till you go into a corner and run out of hot air. (yes, cold gas - but still limited quantity. It is kind of like a boost thruster that you have to pay for counts).

    New Scout Traveler Concept Added - Mountainside Theme

    Personally, IIRC I have owned 5 (IIRC) solid front axle vehicles, but none are/were luxury. They include my current F250 and 2 Jeep Unlimiteds (TJ and JL-oops, make that 6... 2 JL's), plus 2 1/2 ton 4x4's a long time ago. I never had a problem with their rides, but my old back is thinking IFS...

    New Scout Traveler Concept Added - Mountainside Theme

    While I have dealt with a family of 7 humans, it's been a long time. Right now, we are more often a family of 10 (but half are dogs). If we get a dog setter, we have done cross country trips in our Jeep - if not, we would either need a passenger van or 2 vehicles. Not ready for a passenger...

    How would you build your Scout?

    At this point, I can not get into details easily. Trail ready. No steps unless they are automatic. Metal roof, preferably white and insulated. Muted rally stripes maybe if they are offered. Preferable metal front bumper with full grill guard (deer strikes, so many deer strikes - currently...

    New Scout Traveler Concept Added - Mountainside Theme

    Maybe I have been awake too long today or my memory is slipping after 2 years. Guess I recalled other discussions, but got the details confused. IFS in the Scout makes more sense to me. Better road and trail manners - just not better rock crawling (and harder to lift). I don't rock crawl...

    New Scout Traveler Concept Added - Mountainside Theme

    Some people has said this concept looks more refined. I don't think the Scout Traveler is a good fit for the refined market. Solid front axles are good for a lot of things, but refined luxury driving is generally not one of them. Quick google shows exactly one other high end SUV that has a...

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

    2 similar lines can make sense if there is market segmentation. With regards to the Traveler. VW could keep it rugged, and market Audi to the luxury and not likely to go off road crowd. Honestly, the best example I can find is Chevy vs GMC trucks. The only reason GMC makes trucks is to add...

    Battery used

    Assembling cells and putting on a BMS is not super high tech. Building cells economically is realistically where the bleeding edge is. BMS is probably a commodity at this point, although picking the correct one is still probably fairly important. I don't mind Scout taking a conservative...

    Gonna use the same battery tech as everyone else?

    Better to start with something that is tested and in production, than to risk the company on tech that is not. Sure, I want a better battery too, but I don't want to wait 4 more years for it.

    What’s your hobby

    Pretty sure I already replied to this thread - but I had a Eureka moment. My real hobby is research. I tend to research one hobby after another. But research is the constant. Sad... But honestly, research as been my one unending hobby for over 40 years. I guess I could dress up the name...

    Scout Concepts in Charlotte, North Carolina September 26, 2026

    Hate to ask, but what are the current 3? Trail Ready, Mountain, and a Terra?

    Battery used

    Sodium batteries may become cheaper to manufacture - their material prices are cheaper. But it will also require them to be manufactured at scale, which has not happened yet.
