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 believe the Scout Motors web page gives the height dimensions as something like 76” to 78” in the drawing. Which doesn’t seem to include a rack.
That seems really tall. That would be 6’4” to 6’6” without a rack. Now when I was at Nats I did show someone what I was doing and asked if they were correct. They looked at my pictures and said they looked about right.
Then when I was in Chicago trying to do another measurement a gentleman from SM asked what I was trying to do. I told him. He asked me if I was the one who posted the measurements from Nats. (See they do read the forum) I told him yes and that’s when he told me the rails made it the same height as with the rack. That’s why I didn’t redo measurements there as nothing had changed.
I’m hoping we do get a very detailed diagram so that when we are building our Scouts and adding wheels and tires and racks and things, the diagram will have the measurements of our exact Scout with the options and accessories we have chosen.
Standard residential garage doors are 7’ high so that is the magic number. I’m sure the 35’s and basic rack will be snug but doable. Add bigger tires or a higher lift and you will be on the brink of not fitting. Parking garages aim for 7’ but not all the time so pulling up and seeing if you hit the yellow safety bar above will be the ultimate test.
The official height of the traveler (with the 33” tires) is 76.3", including the antenna. That’s without the rack/top hat. Add on 35” tires, and you’re at 78.3" 77.3”. Again, without the top hat.
For comparison, the stock 4 Runner TRD Pro with 33” tires is 74 inches tall.

This is why I want a measuring tool on ordering. I don’t want to worry about fitting height wise.The official height of the traveler (with the 33” tires) is 76.3", including the antenna. That’s without the rack/top hat. Add on 35” tires, and you’re at 78.3”, which is about 6.5 feet tall. Again, without the top hat.

That is great info and seems to fit the notion of designing to fit stock options within a standard garage. But again, once people let lose and start modifying with aftermarket parts that’s when the height will become issue-especially if you enter garage on an incline if you approach angle makes front edge of rack a smidge higherThe official height of the traveler (with the 33” tires) is 76.3", including the antenna.

adding 2" of tire height only adds 1" to vehicle height. that 2" is in full diameter so under the axle is only half of that. the other half is inside the wheel well.The official height of the traveler (with the 33” tires) is 76.3", including the antenna.

Yes, I was typing too fast.
Assuming that there’s no lift required to fit the 35s, which I believe Jamie has stated that the Scouts should accommodate the 35s without a lift.
This is one of the only reasons I want an adjustable suspension on the Scout. I know air suspension isn't ideal for serious off-roading but I love having the ability to raise or lower the height of my R1T should want/need to.
I’ve @‘ed Jamie a couple times on this to no avail. Only thing official I’ve seen is this which kinda implies no:
Will Scout® vehicles offer a spare tire? | Scout Support
I think the spare tire discussion has to wait on the final specs and given models and trims. There are so many variables in tire and wheel sizes, Harvester, no Harvester, and on and on. We don't want to give any information that is incorrect or subject to change.
Similarly, when we bring staff to these events, they try to answer questions, but are often nervous about what they can and can't say, both broadly or in small details.
Thanks for letting us know. Back to faith and patience.
Completely fair. Thanks for being transparent about that Jamie
These measurements seem reasonable to me. As I mentioned, I'm 6'1" without shoes, and the roof of the Traveler with 35's was about even with the top of my head (hard to tell because I couldn't stand exactly next to it). And an antenna wasn't visible, but I could see that adding a few inches. The roof rack would also add some as well.
