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.
For those who have seen the prototypes IRL, what are some close color comparisons? Is Tahitian Red close to the orange on Broncos etc.?
Can you post the Bronco you are thinking of?
The thing I like about Tahitian Red is it doesn’t remind me of any other vehicle out there. But maybe I just haven’t seen it.
Like the upper right and lower right. Rest are a bit bright for me but everyone loves what they love so great job
Not close to the orange or the chili pepper red but chili pepper red would be more similar. To me it’s like they used a copper base with a maroon clear coat but still hard to describe. But it’s an awesome color. These are some pics from reveal back in ‘24

Having seen the current scouts on Friday I can now say I’ve seen every color and I offer an observation. With such a simple body line and not a lot of panel undulation and the tall stance, I think the corporate go to colors are going to be less appealing. My wife’s Lexus is pearl white with some amazing body lines that shadow and catch light on the creases. The scout are completely the opposite and seeing the traveler in white, on Friday made me realize without the graphics it’s very bland looking, whereas the silo green and Tahitian are familiar colors but the depth of the tri-coats and metallics are what make it pop.
That said I am of the belief the neutral tones are not going to do these trucks justice but I do think the mid-tone rich layered colors will blow buyer’s minds. The Pacific mist, if it stayed the pale teal blue 100% of the time would be my go to as the sparkle and tone just set the traveler apart from anything I’ve seen. But if full sun and I suspect LED/HID parking lot lights the blue washes out to silver.
The Silo is the richest look of any of the colors and the gold flake is a big part of that-but both women in my house hate that tone of green. If you love green-I have no doubt you will love silo and I think it will look even better on the traveler and hell-slap on some bronze gold wheels to finish the look. Tahitian was my first true love seeing them at the reveal and I still think it is my go-to even though I think a lot of folks will pick it.
And finally the darker slate blue matte on the Terra at reveal-I don’t see the matte look making it but I think that darker slate blue with a silvery-blue or gold flake with a gloss finish would be killer hot.
If I could request a few future colors:
-A rich pumpkin orange, earth, in a gloss but NO metallic
-A bronze, gray gold with fine gold flake, see similar pic attached from this weekend
-I’d still like a yellow but not sure PBY is it (even though that was the color of my first Scout but if you could do non metallic like a paler Goulden’s spicy brown mustard color-it could work-maybe?
-a Smokey lavender is still a top choice for me too
-A midtone cobalt blue with fine silver/blue metallic
And an Oxblood red with like a rootbeer toned tinted clear coat
I still think super darks like forest green, galaxy blue, black, gunmetal (?) are all going to look like a black hole on the side profiles due to no undulation but just figured maybe these thoughts would stir up so new conversation

Thanks for this. Color is definitely going to be a big big decision.
Thank you, hopefully they make their way to Massachusetts soon.
