  • 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.

    Rivian CEO Interview

    My dad grew up in Bethlehem. When I was little, we'd visit my grandparents every summer and almost always end up spending some time at Saylor's Lake.

    Somebody had the good sense to restyle the fender flares on this concept. This looks so much better than what is on the production models.

    Must haves to purchase…

    My knowledge of modern Wranglers (JK and JL) isn't the best, but I'm pretty sure the MOAB does not have a front locker. So unless I'm wrong (absolutely possible) or you've added one, the Scout with no locker would behave the same in 4wd as your Jeep does.

    Must haves to purchase…

    That depends on which model Wrangler you have and whether you are engaging lockers while driving in the snow vs only putting it in 4wd.

    Must haves to purchase…

    I have a Traveler Harvester reserved and it will be replacing a 2016 Grand Cherokee. Ultimately, both Scouts are larger than I'd like, but size isn't a deal breaker as I went in to my reservation knowing how big they are. I'd move on because of the following: - Less than 6k towing and I'll...

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    That's a great feature. I had a 99 Explorer until I bought my Wrangler in 06. It had the keypad at the driver's door handle. I never understood why more manufacturers don't offer something similar. The recent discussion here about the locking storage in the spare tire of the Grenadier led to...

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    When I go surfing with either or my modern vehicles, I can't leave my keys behind. If I put them anywhere on the exterior, the damn car senses the keys and will unlock the doors when you pull the door handle. I'd love a spot on the exterior (or interior with a keypad like Ford) where I could...

    One feature that made you pull the the trigger on a reservation….

    I've been struggling with the decision of what to replace my 2016 Jeep GC with, as I do not "love" any current SUVs. If I like an exterior, the interior is awful. If the interior is passable, the exterior is just ugly. I always loved the old Scouts, but didn't start paying attention to the...

    What is More Important? - EV Charge Time or EV Range

    This is the kind of trip that Scout should take prior to delivering the first vehicle to the public. Their results may keep a lot of people from ordering the wrong vehicle and this keeps satisfaction with the product higher. Win for everybody.

    What is More Important? - EV Charge Time or EV Range

    I voted range, but that isn't exactly true. 95% of the time, I won't care about range or charge time. 300 miles range would allow me to charge at home one night a week. The other 5% though is where the problem comes in. I reserved the Harvester hoping to get the range up while towing...

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    I don’t feel like this makes me lazy. And I can’t wait to have one in my car.

    Harvester towing

    My Wrangler weighs just about 4k and an aluminum trailer puts my total a bit over 5k. Even my V6 Grand Cherokee has a 6,000lb tow capacity. I was really hoping to replace the GC with an electric SUV that could tow my LJ to my wheeling spots. The range drop with pure electric won't allow that...
