  • 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.

    Looking forward to that one.

    Yeah we lost power for 3 days last year after a bad storm, charged the Anker battery at work which got us to the end of the outage. The next week on garbage day every can on the street was full of basically the entire contents of people's fridges...except ours.

    I wonder if this covers Chinese cars made in other LATAM countries like Brazil where BYD is building/has built a factory.

    ew. Thanks for the heads up, will avoid that one in the future if it comes with SunRun. For our home charger setup, I decided not to do anything hard wired and instead just installed a 240V outlet at the driveway. This allows me to switch chargers with ease making it somewhat future proofed. I...

    Have you considered Ford Charge Station Pro? https://chargers.ford.com/ford-charge-station-pro

    It cost them NOTHING! Drivers have to apply for the sticker and pay a $22 fee which covers the sticker itself and admin costs. It's absolutely spite, a lack of respect of states rights, and is killing a wildly successful program with over half a million active participants as of right now.

    IMO the stickers aren't that bad. Here's a random pic of our car (grey one) with the stickers and another one on the left with stickers in the same location. You also have to put 2 stickers on the rear corners of the car as well. Sad to think they'll be useless after today but we'll be keeping...

    Today also marks the death of California's Clean Air Vehicle decal program which has been successfully running since 1999. For those who don't know, this program encouraged people to buy clean air vehicles (EV, natural gas, hydrogen, hybrids early on, etc.) by granting them access to the HOV...

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

    Dunno if Reddit has some very clever cookies on my computer but in a crazy coincedence, after my previous posts about unreliable Jeeps and particularly Jeep EVs, this showed up as a suggested post.

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

    Wrangler is the only Stellantis product I'd consider if the situation was right and it was a second vehicle but even then I have to add an * to that statement and say not the 4xe because of the number of problems people have been having with that power train. Sigh.

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

    I have R2 and Traveler reservations as well. Recon isn't on my list because Jeep/Stellantis quality is garbage. Each new model cycle they say things are different now and things have improved, but they haven't. Even if I found Recon visually appealing, which I don't, I'd wait many years before...

    What would your last vehicle be if you had to decide today

    I made this decision 15 years ago.. To OP's question on what appeals to my inner car loving soul: the simplicity of this car is very zen. Unlike modern cars that have countless mechanisms/technologies to separate you from the machine and the road, you have a 100% direct mechanical connection to...

    I'm not sure I agree with this statement. BMW had only been building cars a handful of years before VW started production and of course all that got completely reset in 1945. Even then, does that history from 80 years go have any impact on modern day manufacturing? Reality is every car company...

    Yeah it's all just a guess but the Interstate Trailer logo on the front was a big help. From there it was just a matter of matching the other details to find the right model/axle setup and then find one for sale...

    Now that's a great pic! Yes pretty background but I'm more interested in the dual axle trailer. Best I can guess is it's an Interstate 6x12 Victory and that's a very important detail because that trailer has a GVWR of 7K. If they were only testing for 3-5K they would have chosen a lighter duty...

    Is it sad that I look at that Jeep and immediately picture it being parked in the Emerald Aisle at National rent a car? It's sad how Jeep has gone from something to desire to #2 most popular rental car brand behind Nissan.

    Luxury Pacific Mist

    Yeah it's a long video but a fascinating view into another world. Having a company car in the UK was, for a very long time, a staple of a sales rep's comp plan. Those cars were often leased and it wasn't a one size fits all, it literally came down to specific options on the car. Why this all...

    Agreed. I'm very much over badging and find the practice extremely dated. These days, you're lucky if the average person on the street even recognizes the model you're in, forget subset information like trims and power train selections. They don't matter and some brands have given them up...
