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.

Enjoyed seeing this again from you. I would actually pay money to put this in the tire carrier on my traveler. Need a few color options though. Not saying vehicle colors but not sure I love this green with my pale yellow or aquamarine/teal tones but it could atill work. Maybe a dark graphite blueish tint. But these should be made-would be awesome
One feature I’ve appreciated on the Bronco is the frameless windows, which provide improved visibility. While SM doesn’t currently have a need for this design since the doors are intended to be stored in the cargo area once removed on the Bronco, I hope it’s something that could be considered for future models. In particular, if a removable roof option is developed, frameless windows would be an excellent complement to that design.
I wish my Wrangler was frameless. I really like the frameless in the Supra. It’s just a nice look too.
Alright, I’m gonna say it.
Piano black has NO place on vehicles that are intended for offroad use.
If we need to compromise keep it off of the A-Pillars. Put it wherever else you must but vines, branches, and plain old rain water stains piano black and it looks like sh*t in short order.
It may initially move units but if you want to be a lasting offroad brand, at a very minimum there needs to be a protective film option.

Piano black has NO place on ANY vehicle. It is an abomination created by a clueless designer.
Just make sure you don’t add the flopping window part from the Bronco. The Broncos I have experience with include a lot of door glass flopping and rattling around as you open the door.
For me, it would be open-air options. I love removable tops and doors for more freedom and configurable driving experiences. I first experienced this with my family’s ‘79 K5 and ever since then I’ve driven vehicles with open air options whenever possible.

Definitely a letdown, right? I was a bit bummed about it.
I agree! At least include the button but on the dash. NOT on the steering wheel. And then have the option as you said to turn it off or on through the software.
I will say the dealer did tighten the rollers and connectors at one point when we had it in for bigger issues and mentioned it which did help some-but didn’t solve it completely
That’s good to hear, but disappointing it didn’t completely solve it. I’ve been in and out of many of the Broncos and I’m a bit shocked it made it to production without having that solved…especially after seeing it happen on the Bronco Raptor as well. In my book those things are crazy expensive and simply opening the driver door shouldn’t be that type of “cheap vehicle” experience. Heck, the frameless doors on two and four door 1995 Dodge Neons didn’t even do that.
Can’t agree more. But considering after less than 18 months the soft top was wearing through on the edges at the hinge/pivot point the windows were least of my concern. What bothered me more was service asking how often I open and close it? At the time I worked in the city-open and close to go to work and again on way home and the first year was my daughter driving so she may have opened it 3-4 days a week-maybe once or twice a day. But they acted like I was opening it too often!!! Seriously!!!! That’s when we decided to drop it because whatever was rubbing on the folding roof ‘frame’ wasn’t gonna solve itself. I had told them we had squeaking on the pivot joint at same location which is how they noticed the wear. Obviously something wasn’t assembled clean or a square edge was catch ing and wearing and Ford didn’t see the design flaw.
