  • 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 sincerely mean it when I say, you are an absolute legend for what you do in this community. Thank you so much for taking the time to compile all of this data for us and sharing your findings. I’m blown away.

    This is where I’m at. I have had battery anxiety for years with my cellphones and don’t want to obsess over keeping my vehicle charged because of such a slim margin for error.

    No, I actually mean speed, not torque. The front wheels spin 10%-20% more times than the rear tires would. What you described is the intended effect. Your front tires would pull you at a faster rate than the rear is pushing you. This gives you a tighter turning radius and also helps pull...

    “Babe why is the truck completely covered in mud?” “I did it for science.” 🤣 That would be really interesting if you can make the time to do it.

    Omg yes. If we get anything remotely close to Forscan, I will be beside myself! I don’t think any other car manufacturer does it better and the level of granular adjustments is very impressive. I am still very unfamiliar with EVs, but on ICE vehicles traction control is usually disabled...

    This is another “So hear me out” post by yours truly. Low Speed Overdrive would be a game changer in some situations and would make more sense than a Front Dig. We had quite a few scale RC rock crawlers in storage and I recently got them all back out now that the kids are getting old...

    Not exactly news related but I came across a crazy video of what appears to be a Ford Mustang Mach E that lost steering and throttle control grinding itself into a barrier while the driver is praying. Has a pretty rough ending. https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/iXRgUqJJth

    They all want a slice of that Overland Tax. The global off-road vehicle market (which includes ATVs, UTVs, off-road motorcycles, snowmobiles, etc.) was valued at approximately USD 22.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 30.7 billion by 2030, with a 5% CAGR from 2025 to 2030. North...

    I can’t wait to sit on that slide out seat and curse because I’ll be too fat to bend down and tie my shoes by the time it comes out.

    Has Scout mentioned anything about battery thermal management?

    Do you know if the heat exchangers are usually integrated into the battery or are they typically a little standalone module?

    Not to be confused with the Canyonero. 🎶Can you name the truck with four wheel drive, smells like a steak and seats thirty-five.. Canyonero! Canyonero! Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down, It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown! Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero! [Krusty:] Hey...

    Size comparison

    One consideration is the Tahoe has grown by a pretty substantial 8.7” over the past 15 years, and 12.4” longer in the past 25 years. Since I’m poor when I think of a Tahoe I’m thinking of older ones I can actually afford 🤣

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

    I have shared it a few times but there are hitch mounted tire carriers that have a second hitch integrated into the arm for bike racks so you can swing it all away at the same time.
