  • 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.

    Meanwhile my 2004 Lexus GX470 has 210k miles on my factory air bags and they are still going strong. Semi trucks use them for hundreds of thousands of miles. Lots of heavy equipment uses air ride for cabs and/or suspension. Sounds like an incompetent/greedy dealership issue... or maybe its a...

    What one thing would you like to see changed from concept to production?

    There wont be much of an aftermarket for them for at least a few years. This is true for new models from established brands too. 3rd parties need to ensure they will get their R&D money back so they typically wait to see how many people are adopting the new platform before they release anything...

    - Level 2+ Mobile Generator: Unlocking Full Harvester Potential

    Yet it is more complex and requires more maintenance. Long term it will make more monetary sense to pony up for BEVs. Im still undecided between the EREV and BEV, but appreciate the concept of being able to use gasoline to power my home because the grid in my state sucks and cant be relied...
