I’m assuming the Scout is going to be like Wrangler/Bronco/4Runner where you can switch and swap things. My husband calls my Jeep the Lego of cars.
How would you build your Scout?

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.
Traveler/Harvester. That green color they just showed in recent pics w/ghost stripes
saddle tan interior with ventilated seats
35" tires, solid roof (white if possible)

Just like that in my opinion. Just less undercarriage enhancements
Any thoughts on a Traveler version built for strictly highway traveling? I live in Nebraska with family on both coasts and would love a version to focus on on-roading and not off-roading.
I can’t imagine that they won’t have different trim levels. Just my imagination. Some sort of on road with regular all season tires base model. then A off road appearance package so to speak. For those people like me who want 33s or 35s, steel bumpers and rock sliders and that off road look but don’t necessarily go off road. Then A capable off road package with all the locking diff and a bunch of off road options you would need if that’s what you were doing with the vehicle. And then something like a limited package that’s more luxury so to speak. Those electric running board that fold in, air suspension to make it easier to get in, every interior options you could imagine. But again just my imagination.
What features do you want in your strictly on road Scout?
And welcome again!
They are inherently being built for both and since the body and axles and underbody set up are being built to handle off roading it will be a combo ride set-up. Sounds like there will be off roading oriented set ups that are definitely geared for off roading but there should be a road worthy version as well. Being as it has a solid rear axle it won’t ride as smooth as the run of the mill SUVs by my every manufacturer but will be reasonable as a road vehicle. The ford bronco is a similar comparison for ride set up so if unsure you might want to test drive one of those to get a feel. My wife has had Acura MDX’s and a Honda Pilot now and after a 2-1/2 day road trip (TX to PA)) she hated the Bronco. It was fine for an hour or two driving but a full 10 hour drive day she did t care for it. Definitely a different feel from main stream SUV’s
And try a Wrangler too. And they have that SkyActive roof as an option and might give you an idea of what the cabana top is like too.
Thank you. I intend to trade my '25 XT4 for this. I am also hoping the Harvester will work like the Chevy Volt/ELR/CT6e (110 was all I needed for these), that is, I could drive for days on gas only, as I did from 2011-2018. My wife likes to stop every 3 to 4 hours anyway so 350ish gas range is good enuf for us...
If every 3 to 4 hours for stops why not just get the BEV? Lot of good insight on here from those living with EVs for over 10 years. I was hesitant at first but with 2-1/2 years of info I’ve become completely sold on the full BEV over the harvester.
Scout. “People. Connections. Community. Authenticity." Welcome to the Scout community. Enjoy the ride.
There has been an EV of sorts in my garage since 2011, currently the Equinox EV, my 10nth EV. I had the EUV and the R1T Launch in my garage at the same time. I drive for 2 dealerships in the Omaha area and drive several types of EVs all over the place. I ask for 100% charge, depending on distance, and only one dealership has figured out how to charge above 80%. Sadly that dealership was well outside of the range of the Kona EV I was tasked to retrieve that day. Worse, I had contacted a Hyundai Dealership in St Joe, MO to check on their fast charger. When I arrived 3 hours later with 30 miles of range, it was broken and their level 2s were both taken. All of these not so happy occasions occurred in the last year. Undaunted, I have a reservation for the R2, only way I could part with my R1T was to reserve the R2, and the Traveler. I obviously love my EVs but when traveling, I stop for gas and bathroom, no eating, then keep going for another 10 hours. I am blessed to be able to afford the best of both...
This is what I’m aiming for also. After driving a full EV I am not entirely concerned and can charge along the way at a super charger for longer trips and a bite to eat watch a movie etc
Do you think it will be cheaper or more expensive than gas on road trips?
Depends on how much the rates are at Super Chargers but I paid I believe around $30 to charge the Tesla from 20%-100% so even saying $45 would still be cheaper than it took to fill up my Bronco at $80
Also I drive a ton for work and it’s about $68/month more for electric vs $350-$400 a month for gas with the Bronco I had. All things considered cheaper for trips and for daily driver in my opinion.
