  • 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.

    Sunshade Slider for the Roof and RGB Lighting

    While true, the same comment could be made of the glass or steel roofs. If the Cabana is not offered on the Terra, they are still developing 5 different roofs.

    Size comparison

    It makes me really happy to see the Tahoe is both longer and wider. Had one as a rental about a year ago and didn't like it all. A lot of that was the size, which is one of my two biggest concerns with the Traveler. The other being price.

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    Qaudratec gift cards were a very popular Christmas gift around our house. At one point I had my 06, my brother had a 95 (now a 13), and my BIL had an 11. BIL sold out for a Bronco and brother and I have pretty much gotten all the mods we plan.

    Wondering about headlights

    I am hoping that a Scout will replace my 2016 Grand Cherokee. This vehicle has the absolute best headlights I've ever had on a vehicle. LED drive lights surrounding an HID bulb. It's a great mix of the color spectrum and the the headlight beam has a very distinct cut off right where it needs to...

    Drivers not happy with their car screens

    Honestly one of my favorite things about the vehicle is how integrated the screen looks in the dash. Taking away the way the trim frames it would be a major deterrent for me.

    Scout Color Poll #1

    I forgot how good the Tahitian Red looked with that ghosted graphic. I've really been leaning Pacific Mist, but seeing the red again gives me pause. My only concern would be that I would like to pick a color that doesn't turn out to be the one you see all over the place. Tahitian being the...

    5klbs towing cap with gas range extender?

    My hope is a minimum of 6k for the Traveler. 6500 would be better. Under that puts it below non full size SUVs like the Grand Cherokee. Ultimately that seems like a huge swing and a miss. Range anxiety while towing is a legit concern and it seemed like the Harvester could solve it. Doesn't...

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

    I couldn't read the article, but I'm curious if it pointed to price at all? Maybe people just weren't willing to pay full price for a brand new vehicle? EVs have been known to depreciate rapidly so a 2-3 year old Lightning may just hit the budget right. I thought it was a great truck, but I get...

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

    I had 2 different VW rental cars over the last week and I was, we'll say underwhelmed. This is a huge improvement over both of those vehicles.

    Flat Tow capability to beat Jeep

    You may be surprised. The internet says that your 3500HD weighs around 7000 pounds. That's roughly the same as the quad motor Rivian R1S which shows 7200 pounds. The Cadillac Escalade IQ is over 9000. The BMW iX5 is supposed to be about 6400. The Scout, with a solid axle, 35 inch tires, steel...

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

    "Pedants will point out there’s a significantly cheaper gas-powered 3 Series trim, though it has no electric equivalent yet. The 2027 BMW 330 is priced at $49,900, and its upgraded xDrive trim costs $51,900." It's interesting that they chose to compare price based on the closest models for...

    Another Option for an Electric Scout

    What tires and gearing do you have? I get over 200 miles per tank in my LJ. Stock Rubicon gearing with metric 35s. And what died? Honestly parts availability is one of the main reasons I've been considering the EV conversion. This 6 speed seems to be a problem.

    Another Option for an Electric Scout

    That's pretty cool. Love that they managed to keep the manual transmission. I have been considering doing this to my Jeep in a few years and the stick shift has been my biggest hang up. Besides cost.

    Marketing IDIOTS

    As mentioned, the Bravada was a rebadged Blazer/Jimmy. Full time AWD rather than selectable 4wd. Pretty sweet digital dash. I was fortunate as a teenager to get my parent's when they got something newer. Ours was all maroon. As in everything. Interior, exterior, everything. It was incredibly...

    Marketing IDIOTS

    I'm only 44 so this all a guess, but I'd assume today's definition of the term off-roading was pretty rare back in the day. Jeep's didn't come with lockers until the Rubicon was introduced in 2003. Enthusiasts absolutely modified vehicles to have lockers, but that was a minority of owners even...
