  • 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.

    Easy or quick release for rear tire carrier

    Yeah, that's what I thought. Then I lived with a spare tire on the back for several years. Trust me, don't trust me, whatever. The truth is you can't open the back without the rear tire hitting the garage door or the garage door wall or whatever you're parked next to.

    Easy or quick release for rear tire carrier

    All due respect but equating a spare tire to literally a door is comparing apple and oranges. You may not realize it but you're using what is called the strawman fallacy, you've provided a counter example that is similar but far less substantial. You need doors every day, you don't need a spare...

    Easy or quick release for rear tire carrier

    Most of the time a spare isn't really needed especially if you have roadside assistance and leave close to civilization. Also, while I understand the rear tire mount is ideal for off roading, I don't love having to open the tire carrier every time I want to open the hatch. I also don't love...

    Rethink Steering Wheel Design?

    The steering wheel looks great as is! Don't change it!

    Front Bench Seat

    Personally, I hope they design the front bench seat to be comfortable no matter where your bum is placed, even over the seams where the bench will hopefully flip up for under seat storage and where the backrest folds down for some semblance of a center consol/arm rest.

    Easily Removable generator/range extender

    I'm loving all the information about this. Thanks everyone! I'm guessing diesel generators are not turbo charged... are they? If they did use a diesel generator would it need to be turbo charged? I guess that begs the same question for gas. So many questions, so much conjecture. I can't wait...

    Easily Removable generator/range extender

    The generator is in the back of the vehicle. Maybe a hand crank lowering system could be made to lower and raise the generator on to a dolly specifically designed for the generator. Who knows, all just ideas. Probably won't happen but it's fun to think about anyway.

    Easily Removable generator/range extender

    I will say though... if the numbers add up and they can engineer everything to work in such a way that the generator is lightweight enough to be easily removed yet still powerful enough to efficiently extend the range then it could be a game changer. It does seem like a significant engineering...

    Easily Removable generator/range extender

    Your reasoning makes a lot of sense. The generator idea does seem pretty flawed to begin with. I'd like to see the engineer's math that justified them making it an offering in the first place.

    Ideas for Scout Engineers

    If you scroll down on their website to the part where the dots appear on the truck there is one dot that show the rear window is retractable.

    Easily Removable generator/range extender

    I have no idea how big and heavy the ICE motor will be for the range extender but it would be awesome if it were relatively easy to remove from the vehicle. I imagine it being used at gatherings, parties and worksites and even potentially in natural disaster cleanup or at home in an emergency. I...

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    I would like the Scout engineers who are working on the generator to give us details on the math that justifies the addition of a gas generator. How much battery capacity/range is lost compared to the non-range extender setup? What are the theorized e-mpg's of the range extender setup?
