  • 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.

    Looks better than the new Pacifica

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I initially reserved the EREV as I was hoping to tow my Wrangler to the trails. Distance to the trails would be very inconvenient with an EV so the option of gas and go sounded great. Even the 150 mile EV range of the EREV, my plan was to charge at home once a week. My wife and I just don't...

    Harvester Capless Fuel Fill Door

    My 16 Grand Cherokee and 19 Pacifica are both capless. Love it.

    Ideal Small Sized Vehicle

    Just because a company can shove enough battery in, doesn't mean the tech is there. The IQ weighs over 9000 pounds compared to the standard Escalade's 6000. Base price is $130k (Motortrends "as tested" vehicle came in at $151k) vs $94k (Your chart appears to error at $77k). So the electric...

    Ideal Small Sized Vehicle

    Something a little bigger than the TJ Wrangler and smaller than the current model. I would buy a 2 door personally, but would expect a 4 door to sell more units. Soft top and/or removable hardtop. 250 mile range. I honestly believe there is a market for an EV Wrangler/Bronco. People don't buy...

    Future smaller SUV

    Jeep Wrangler sales are the same. I say 2 door, but I really mean a smaller variant offered in both. I would personally prefer the 2 door, but the Traveler would be my daily driver. I'm not sure the market really wants a bigger EV until battery tech takes a leap forward. A bigger 3 row would be...

    Future smaller SUV

    I'm still voting for a 2 door soft top model to come next. Something much closer to the 80/800. Model year 2031 would be perfect. My daughter will be 16 and then I could have 2 Scouts in the driveway.

    Harvester Battery Stage of Charge Question

    Another point about the RAM is that Stallantis has a contract with the union to produce the Pentastar for a certain number of years. I've posted the article here before, but I'm not searching for it tonight. Since their vehicles are moving on to other newer engines, sticking a known quantity...

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

    I've been under the impression that this has been the official timeline for a while now. Maybe somebody is reporting this as a "new" delay? Or maybe the article is referencing the already speculated delay to the BEV and lumping both models in to that? As a January 2025 reservation holder, I was...

    Center Screen

    Current daily drivers are a 2016 Grand Cherokee and a 2019 Chrysler Pacifica. On the Jeep, I have to go in to the touch screen menus to change the settings of the air flow. The Pacifica updated that to be on the buttons. So much simpler, but I have no idea whether Stallantis kept that consistent...

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

    I think it may have been @SpaceEVDriver that brought up some concerns regarding battery size vs estimated range vs likely aerodynamics and weight. I'll still really hopeful that Scout over delivers on range, but it just seems like things don't add up right. Hopefully it really is just superior...

    Help me decide BEV or EREV

    I reserved the Harvester for towing as well. The only towing I will do is my Jeep on a trailer to places over 200 miles away. EV towing just doesn't seem to be great for that. Not long after my I put in my reservation was the Jay Leno episode with the comment about 5000 pound capacity. I...

    Coastal Vibes: The “Pacific Mist” Scout Traveler Concept

    This color looks better and better each time I see it.

    What would you be willing to pay for a paint color?

    I have a really hard time wrapping my head around the thought of paying for a color I like. As mentioned above, it just feels like getting nickel and dimed on such a large purchase. That said, the variability in the two current prototypes has got to take extra time and effort. The way that both...

    Thoughts on Factory 37s

    The look will be based on the vehicle. You have a 35 on your Jeep, but it came stock with a 32 or 33. Your tire looks oversized to the vehicle compared to stock, but barely so. I have a 35 on my Jeep and it came with a 31 stock, and that was the oversized Rubicon tire. A 35 inch tire on on older...
