  • 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.

    Strange. I was there exactly one year ago. The two Toyotas (Fortuner, Corolla Cross) I rented were were both RHD and on every road and city people drove on the left. I was in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Mbombela, Graskop, Sabie, Paarl, and Stellenbosch. Even the Ford Mustangs are RHD.

    Scout Terra Debuts in New Silo Color and Retheme

    That was very interesting. Thank you for sharing! Actually having tools in the bed box was an unexpected surprise.

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    Ooh, looking forward to it! It reminds me of the neat charcoal gold Chrysler used in the 90's. It appeared to change color based on the angle and lighting.

    Comma AI has been discussed in the forums before. Examples like this, no matter how rare, are reasons why I won't use systems like this that might put my life or the lives of others at risk. It took $800 in labor to figure out Comma AI was the likely cause.

    Apple CarPlay ULTRA for Scout: A Game Changer for Infotainment?

    For many people, having CarPlay or Android Auto is a must-have requirement when buying a car. It doesn't matter how functional a native UX is if a car buyer won't even consider it. Why alienate any potential buyers by omitting them?

    Must haves to purchase…

    It appears that the bench setup will undergo changes from concept to production. Wireless chargers and cupholders need to go somewhere, so perhaps a different dash? The center part will certainly have storage. It will be interesting to see what Scout comes up with.

    Are you talking about when INEOS had to shut the production line down at the factory because of a supplier issue? That was rumored to be from Recaro becoming insolvent.

    $700 deposit. I've seen reports that they can demand the rest of the payment anytime after they've given a production date. You have 7 days to pay the balance or they cancel your order and keep your deposit.
