  • 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.

    Center Screen

    I've played with a lot of the HUD options in my current sedan and really only use it for the G-meter to see how hard I'm corning and occasionally for the shift light (manual transmission), so I really don't see any reason I'd want it in the Scout. Now, if they do a full-windshield infrared...

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    I've squeezed three vehicles in my 2-car garage before with a hail storm moving in, but I was wishing I'd lost some weight before trying to get out of the last car. :ROFLMAO: Thankfully, like @cyure, I have a basement that keeps a lot of the clutter out of the main garage. Mostly just tool...

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    I'm there with you, and I'm a Toyota guy at heart. There's nothing compelling in their lineup anymore. As someone that services my own vehicles, that's not gonna happen with the newer models, and I REALLY don't want to have to pay someone to strip half of the engine bay to change something...

    What would you be willing to pay for a paint color?

    I'd rather Scout not offer any boring colors at all, and have what would normally be the lower-tier of upgraded colors as the standard option for no charge. Do a nice pearl, creamy white as your base white. Do a richer metallic black, etc. Actually, I'm okay doing away with the generic black...

    Makes me wonder where they'd be if they'd targeted the blue collar work truck/work van crowd more up front instead of pursuing the luxury market.

    Define your lifestyle….

    speedrye: sedentary As such, I want a vehicle that will go where I want, when I want. I'm lazy, the last thing I want to do is get out and have to shovel or winch or, well, anything that'll get my heart rate above 80bpm or so. I also need mud-terrain tires. All-terrain tires are for people...

    More importantly, I think it'll ultimately help brand prestige. High repair costs are what kill resale value on brands like BMW, Maserati, etc. Create a desirable vehicle that's both reliable and affordable to maintain, and your brand will be worth more. I don't have much of a problem buying...

    Seriously, grab that trademark. If Scout wants it later, you can negotiate.

    Luxury EV

    Luxury EV? Sounds like you want the Audi version. Scout's gotta keep their options a bit more limited to keep from stepping on the toes of the Four Rings.

    Oh no, the government screwing up money and making me pay for it! :ROFLMAO: Welcome to modern America, Daily Gazette!

    You BEV guys are looking at this all wrong. Let the EREV guys work out the production line kinks so that you're not a beta tester... :ROFLMAO:

    Factory Pick Up - Cost and what does it include?

    Even better! I like savings.

    Factory Pick Up - Cost and what does it include?

    Since destination charges are mandatory by law, we'd still be paying Scout the fee anyway, even if we pick our vehicle up at the factory. It'd be nice to do a voucher for pick up where we select how that voucher is used. Wine and camping? Off-road training course? Guided tour? Personally, I...

    Bronze wheels please!

    I love bronze wheels, but prefer a darker bronze. The pictures above are way too gold for me. Not this specific wheel as I LOVE the wheels Scout has been showing, but more towards the brown spectrum:

    Factory Pick Up - Cost and what does it include?

    Keep it simple. I'd like a factory tour. Afterwards, I want a staff member to take me on a scare-the-piss-out-of-you run on Scout's off-road course in one of their vehicles to show you what your vehicle is capable of in stock form. Afterwards, I'd like the option to try out the course on my...

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

    I'm still pissed that BMW's SC center was closed for whatever reason when my 135i was arriving from Germany. I'd seriously considered doing their factory delivery in Germany and having the car shipped back afterwards. Price was pretty reasonable.

    Favorite road tripping snack

    You had to say it didn't you? Curiosity got the best of me... Blueberry Flavored Bits [Sugar, Corn Syrup, Corn Cereal, Corn Starch, Palm Oil, Fruit and Vegetable Extract (Color), Artificial Flavor] BUT... It has corn, which can be counted as a fruit, so I'm going to go with your thought...

    Favorite road tripping snack

    Now that we've entered the unhealthy snack/food portion, I'll chime in. I love Munchkins on road trips. Conveniently in a 50-count box, and with a mix of blueberry and chocolate, you never know what you'll grab.
