  • 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.

    5klbs towing cap with gas range extender?

    Aerodynamics is the last thing Scout motors needs. Buy a car.

    20-24 mpg

    I'm getting the Scout for winter basically. The security of the generator. If people are getting it to drive 24 mpg on a generator. In the south, it seems oddball.

    20-24 mpg

    Most people don't plan. Bird goes over there, I go over there. People pull into their driveway and barley get to the house door, not wanting to grab a cord. Wife husband or kid forgot to plug in.. When they park at work it's like a desert of barron wasteland of car obstacles. The gas is the...

    20-24 mpg

    I can see people blowing through the 150 miles... Then gas up at the gas station to get 24 mpg. Not plug it in when they get home, then drive around all day bird watching on the harvester.

    20-24 mpg

    So, after the 150 electric battery is drained that gives you 60 mpg equivalent, the harvest 4 cylinder generator can only charge at a 24 mpg rate? So basically we'll be getting 24 mpg.... This doesn't sound that epic

    Do you hunt public lands? Is there an appeal of this Terra for deer hunting?.

    You can judge a Scout by its color

    No idea..but I know fancy when I see it. I believe they are trying not to slow roll the public. Satin white over Oxford is most likely a way to clue us in gently.. (it's going to be a more premium brand)

    You can judge a Scout by its color

    Oxford White (Ford paint codes YZ and Z1) is one of the highest-volume, most mass-produced automotive colors in history. It has been Ford’s primary, high-gloss solid white for decades, used on millions of commercial fleet trucks, transit vans, F-150s, and Mustangs. By contrast, Satin White is a...

    Will the Scout EREV be obsolete by the time it gets here in 2027/28?

    I'm concerned about this because I'm the kind of guy that buys a truck and tries to keep it for 20 years. All ssb and others give the cold weather range as a low of -20. Where I am it gets to -25 and -30 for periods. I still think the harvester is a safer option. But the news from China being...

    What Song Will You Play First in Your New Scout?

    Totally rad man. I remember when Cracker and Counting Crows were on tour. I still listen to this stuff.
