  • 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.

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    Though I forgot to mention, I have a 2 inch lift on mine so technically I could go bigger if I wanted but 35 is more than enough especially since I do a lot of highway driving I wouldn’t go past 35 unless you’re consistently off-roading.

    I do like the 20 inch rims on the concepts and the style of them but I would really like a 17 or 18 inch rim option to offer more sidewall for off-roading that you could maybe option with the 35 inch tires if possible.

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    I think they are still deciding on what to do mainly because no one knows how much the tariffs will affect it so I don’t really think they are going to commit to were it is going to be built but I still would prefer the range extender to be built in the US

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    Also I thought about it I think there is still a possibility that the range extender get built in the US but really it depends on how bad the tariffs get for engines shipped from Mexico and if VW does try to build an engine plant in the US or just extend the South Carolina Factory to allow for...

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    At least it was an assumption since I prefer if it is possible they should just make the range extender in South Carolina with everything else so less tariff worries etc.

    https://www.thedrive.com/news/scouts-harvester-gasoline-powered-ev-range-extender-will-be-built-in-mexico Not sure how I feel about this but it was kind of expected since most VW engines that are sold in the US are currently made in Mexico though I would definitely prefer the range extender to...

    aluminum body

    Well by the time the Scout comes out I think I will be at the end of my extended Warranty so it would be probably time for me to move on and get a Scout

    aluminum body

    Exactly and the corrosion thing has been such an issue it had soured me towards getting another Wrangler

    aluminum body

    OK, if it ever becomes an issue, I’ll do that but mines a 2018 JL so it’s not that old yet so it’s not that much of an issue yet

    aluminum body

    One of the big issues of why is Jeep for some reason does not paint where the hinges mount to either the doors or the hood so it’s just bare aluminum on steel if they just painted that part when they painted the rest of the hood, door, etc., that would help a lot to prevent it so I I think they...

    aluminum body

    The doors are OK to open and close for me I haven’t had issues on that. It was just the seals. That went bad.

    aluminum body

    Yep I have extended warranty still and the seals are not covered

    aluminum body

    Actually, you don’t have to worry about me doing that because every time I take my doors or roof off my seals go bad about two weeks later I get leaks and it costs me $1000 to replace all the seals at the dealership. So I don’t take the roof or the doors off.

    aluminum body

    The picture of the silver one isn’t mine but I had it fixed three times on different doors and the hood and it’s just started again and I’m out of warranty and and being nice to Jeep corporate to see if they would fix it for free so it is getting left unfixed for now💀

    aluminum body

    I’m fine with aluminum or a steel body just don’t do half-and-half where you have steel hinges on aluminum doors for example because Jeep does that for the Wrangler and it causes the paint to bubble for the reaction of dissimilar metals and I have constantly had to have that fixed and it’s one...

    Any Update on NADA and Our fight for DTC?

    Tesla does that in Florida and it works well so if Scout can do the same they should be able to sell direct to consumer with no issues, though Florida dealers are likely going to try to sue anyway even though it’s probably very unlikely for them to win a lawsuit.

    Cost and Ease to Repair/Maintain the Traveler and Terra

    Yeah no, the winch sounds like a terrible idea, I came up with the idea access panel for service thinking of old vans/ trucks that have access panels to the engine from inside the cabin so doing something similar for harvester access seemed like a simple but good solution if the harvester is...
