  • 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.

    R2 Launch Watch

    I take it you aren't the kind of person to wait for the gas light before filling up? On both our Grand Cherokee and Pacifica, the range goes to "low" below 30 miles. My goal is to drive another 10-15 before filling up. I know the size of both gas tanks and even with the extra driving, I almost...

    That seems pretty disappointing. The comments are pretty consistent as well.

    We have Happy Friday so why not Happy Birthday!

    Thank you!

    BMW iX3 and iX5 range

    Also remember that the expected battery size of the BEV is 120-130 kWh. So everything stated by others above is true (Scout is heavier and less aerodynamic) while also having a smaller battery. I would love for them to hit 400 miles, but I've read enough posts around here to be somewhat...

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    The 500 mile range is also probably a one time thing. As in you leave your house with a full battery and a full tank of gas. The Harvester will supplement the battery and you'll drive 500 miles and finish with no battery charge and an empty tank of gas. Filling the tank isn't going to get you...

    R2 Launch Watch

    For those that have followed EV roll outs in the past (or vehicle launches in general I guess), are the launch editions generally fully loaded? Some mid trim version? Or is it options that can be added to any trim? Bringing this back to the R2, isn't the launch edition essentially just Rivian...

    R2 Launch Watch

    Since you bring up BMW, the specs on the upcoming X5 are finally available. While the gas version starts at $71k, the EV will be $81k. Now the EV may be offered standard with some extras compared to ICE, but it will still be a starting price of $20k more than Scout is aiming for...

    There will be a Scout at that number. They may even manage to get all the way to $60k. I certainly hope they do. It just won't look like the vehicles currently displayed. Those are fully trimmed out top level vehicles.

    R2 Launch Watch

    I may be off a little on my Rivian numbers as it's been a while since I've paid attention to the exact prices, but I believe I remember a $45k vehicle having a launch edition around $60k. That's a 33% premium. If Scout follows the same percentage, the $60k vehicle launches at $80k. I have a...

    Phone cooler

    I find that the iPhone has trouble with overheating while charging AND using the GPS. I have it happen on long road trips often and that's with the phone plugged in rather than using wireless charging.

    What Colors Do You Think Scout Will Offer at Launch?

    Orange isn't usually my thing (my son's favorite color), but I'm going to have a really tough time convincing myself not to go with that combo. I really like Pacific Mist though. Can't wait to see what colors they actually offer.

    R2 Launch Watch

    The size of the Traveler is one of two major concerns with the vehicle (price being the second). I love everything about the new designs from an aesthetics standpoint, but I haven't seen them in person yet to truly appreciate how large they will feel. I parked next to a Tahoe yesterday and can't...

    Is it just me or should Scout have gone this route

    With a sawzall and the right amount of motivation, anything is possible

    Flat Tow capability to beat Jeep

    My Wrangler weighs just under 4000 lbs after a heavy custom lift and 35 inch tires (came with 31s). A typical 4 door model today weighs mid/high 4000s stock. The Hummer EV comes in at 9000 and the Silverado is a little under that. The Lightening is actually pretty light at the mid 6000s, though...

    Time of year for factory pick up.

    I'd really like a factory pick up option where I can go and tour the facility and look over my Traveler. Hopefully drive one of their vehicles on the off road course. That said, I'm not positive I want to drive it home. Factory comes up as a 400 mile drive for me. Time of year makes no...
