  • 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.

    Package options - what would you like bundled?

    My biggest concern is some packages deleting the front bench seat due to GVWR. Edit: Oops I meant payload capacity.

    Recline flat rear bench

    Welcome! Unfortunately we can’t trust everything what Chat GPT thinks, because it’s using our forum as a source and there is a tremendous amount of best guesses and swags until Scout confirms these details closer to production. Basically the AI is saying “Trust me bro.” but doesn’t have...

    https://barnwellmountainra.com/ Barnwell Mountain in Gilmer Texas. Great place. Spoiled by living so close to it. His GX is nuts. I’m sure he would be glad to take you out for a spin in it. Can’t blame him either, those things are monsters with an LS.

    Motors, Control Arms and Ground Clearance

    They probably should have been replaced a while back but I wanted to see how far I could push them. I did the same with my Lexus GX460. Actually had one of those kits for that GX460 but it sat in a box in my garage for 5 years because the factory bags on that one never blew. So I sold it after...

    Motors, Control Arms and Ground Clearance

    Time for me to eat crow. Failed at 213k miles and over 20 years of exposure to the elements. A little abuse sprinkled in there. I went off-roading this weekend and finally blew a factory air bag. It was loaded down with 7 people and some provisions. Was climbing up a very steep incline...

    I think there needs to be a distinction between out of touch executives and upper middle class "white collar" folks. Because they certainly arent the same. They have very different standards of living, and very different problems. If the professors at my University quit, I wont have my blue...
