  • 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.

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    After renting an EV once, I realize now that on long trips I would have to plan my stops and that may include a little longer to "fill up" or waiting on a charger to be available. However, now when I have to pull into a gas station around once a week, I am more aware of that cumulative time and...

    Columbia SC accommodations

    HOWEVER...Looking to the future...once the Scouts start rolling out the doors...wouldn't it be awesome if a local RV Resort were to cater to those new Scout buyers. But only if there wasn't the dreaded SC franchise laws prohibiting the Direct to Customer sales. Those franchise laws will likely...

    Ah..I understand...but why the heck would you need/want cup holders in an actual engine compartment? To keep you coffee warm? If I'm in my frunk, I am relaxing. If I'm in my 79 Scout engine compartment, I'm working.:ROFLMAO:

    My 79 Scout II has two cup holders in the original console or are you talking about older Scouts. I'm pretty sure my dad's Scout 800 with bench seat did not.

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    If it hadn't been for the Harvester option, I probably wouldn't have looked further. I think it will be exciting to see the different experiences folks on this forum have once they have their new Scout, no matter what powertrain.

    Wonder if it will be back-lit at night...dim of course...or user adjustable even better.

    Comment by 'bwdavis7' in item '1980 Diesel Scout II'

    So I'm curious about the history of your Scout. I thought all the 1980 Scouts had square headlights and the grille looks like what was stock on the SSII's. Anyway, good looking Scout and it looks right at home in you adventure photos. I wish these trails were closer to me.

    Will harvester models be "maintenance free" like their EV siblings?

    I've never trusted service centers or even stealerships to do maintenance on my vehicles. I've done my own oil changes for over 50 years choosing my preferred oil and filters and ensuring everything is done right. I've heard too many and actually witnessed some goofed oil changes. I enjoy...

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    I can see where range anxiety would set in and likely would have added time to recharge if pure EV. But it wouldn't have been impossible, right?? Potential charging stations shown on the map (Possibly one supercharger). Charging stations aren't advertised on billboards like gas and diesel and...

    I'm OK with the body of that Audi, but not a fan of the front end. Reminds me of Angry Birds for some reason. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

    I was ignorant to (or at least forgot) the fact that our government subsidizes fossil fuel. I learn so much on this forum and once I dig a little deeper outside of these posts, I realize that there are probably many folks like myself that are unaware. Here's a portion of what Google AI returned...

    Package options - what would you like bundled?

    I bought a used 1995 Honda Civic with cloth seats that two of my teenage boys drove to school then I ended up driving to work for years because of the gas mileage. I would consider cloth seats if they were made of the same material as that car. When I ended up donating it the seats would have...

    RANT ALERT! I really hope electric motorcycles are extremely successful, but there seems to be a few factors that tend to be the draw. Looks, speed and LOUDNESS...at least where I live. As a teenager in SC, if your bike (or car) muffler was modified to make it louder, there was a good chance the...

    Mojito was the name of this Jeep I rented while vacationing a few years ago. I never have owned a Jeep, but this one had me wanting. The color turned heads for sure.
