  • 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.

    One feature that made you pull the the trigger on a reservation….

    Bronco, Jeep, Tacoma all get poor gas mileage when outfitted with 33" or larger offroad tires. The Scout EREV profile of 90% EV usage and 10% generator is a good match for my all-purpose SUV use case (90% local and 10% long-distance or offroad).

    One feature that made you pull the the trigger on a reservation….

    Off-road body on frame EREV with locking differentials. Comparable ICE vehicles get 15 MPG which I have a hard time justifying in a multi-use vehicle.

    The concept looks great! Here are some features I would want: include the bumpers in crash testing make the tube over the front bumper optional make a cut-out above the winch so you can see if it is spooling neatly, give access to the manual clutch release lever and connect a wired controller...
