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.
I'd hope their theoretical future smaller SUV would be narrower. I don't wheel really anymore, but slot canyons are difficult on anything full size, as you're just sooooo wide.
I also presume the Traveler/Tera share the C pillar forward, for simple cost reasons. But for the Traveler, it does have the potential to give it a huge interior for its length, which is could also be helpful for others (honestly part of the reason the bench seat is sort of appealing, as its full size truck width), but I can see how that would also be a turnoff for anyone looking for an "actual trail" offroader.
My use case is closer to "trailhead offroading" these days, so the width isn't as big of a deal for me, but I totally get it.
To be sure, I don’t think my use-case is everybody’s, nor maybe even anybody else’s.
It’s one of the reasons I’m not afraid of looking at the cost and issues with doing an electric conversion of an old 1990s Landcruiser.
I get the idea, and request, however I hate the charge port door on my car and the SilveradoEV you have to push it in for the popper to open then you can grab the door and open it, then you have to press it back in to close the popper, I wanna push it and it just open then close fully when I push it to
I know someone with one of those.
Concept vehicles are normally larger than production. They have to be able to fit in a parking spot. And At least make it into a garage of some sort. The dimensions Scout gave us could be based off the concepts and not the actual product models. Time will tell.
Yeah I'm worried about garage fit alongside wife's Grand Highlander Hybrid. I might be leaving my reservation deposit in place for some years waiting for a leaner Scout BEV. We'll see.
I’ve already been thinking which car will go next to the Scout. Luckily we have a 3 car garage so I can play car jenga to make them all fit.
With all this talk of being too wide you all had me freaking out. But I looked and near as I can tell the Traveler will only be 1" wider and 9" longer than my MXP. That's doable for me.
I was worried too but measured my Wrangler at its widest piont, which is the tires since I’m running a -12 offset. The Traveler is only 1.5 inches wider. Now it’s 18.5 inches longer with the tire carrier, but I’m really not worried about the length.
Same here. I already drive a wide vehicle that does Fit in parking spaces very well. Along with taking it on trails. It’s not horrible it’s just not very optimized.
A 3-car garage would be nice. Presently I have all my ‘man’ tools in the 2nd bay.
I assumed Scout’s concept vehicles were decided as to size, maybe not. I wouldn’t mind something a little narrower.
Don’t forget the doors. The Traveler will almost certainly have longer doors, which means they won’t be able to open as wide as the Wrangler’s doors. So, the Traveler’s tires will be 1.5 inches closer to whatever, but its doors are closer to the tires and its doors are longer. The Traveler’s door angle will be much shallower in a tight fit than the Wrangler's. From your photos, it doesn’t look like you’ll have an issue slipping through, but what about stuff you’re trying to load into the cabin?
This is the first time we have ever had one and then with the basement I don’t have much in the garage. I love it.
I’m not basing width on looks, I’m basing it on the dimensions they provide on their site. Those are as close to certain as anything else.
The way the garage is there’s a two door, some space and then a single door. My plan at the moment is to park it where the Jeep is now. So on the passenger side there’s quite a few feet. The passenger side you will be able to load stuff in and out easily. I do that now with the Jeep if I’m putting a bunch of stuff in and out.
But I agree with you it will be tighter walking around it because the whole vehicle is that size, not just the tires.
The other thing I know I won’t be able to do is unload stuff out of the back in the garage. Right now I have just enough space to pull in, shut the garage door and I can open the tail gate on the jeep all the way with like 2 or 3 inches to spare. So I can have the door shut when I bring groceries and things in.
I’m thinking I’ll use the frunk for groceries. Pull in half way. Bring them in and then pull the rest of the way in. Or back in halfway if it’s a lot of stuff. I’m going to have to modify how I do things and that’s fine.
