  • 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.

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    I did this for the past 2 years in our PHEV. It really is useful. Also note the mileage, and the time between stops if you have it handy. Our stops are generally ~10-20 minutes, with the ~20minutes being the longer ones, with other stuff happening (either traffic/pump congestion, waiting for...

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    I hope its more common than people think. My wife and I had to learn to stop plugging in our Ioniq 9 so often, as we were conditioned by our PHEV and L2 charger (sometimes getting 3 full charges in a single day). Now we charge the Ioniq 9 1-3 times a week, instead of 1-3 times per day.

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    I swear it was in one of the interviews that they said that they were targeting 70mph steady state at least, and that the 350miles of range, and that they said it was going to be gas and go, not gas/charge and go. But, to your point, we don't know what we don't know. I was mostly just showing...

    Is the EREV going to be a flop?

    I'm still very on the fence here. Still reserved for Harvester, but recently (In sept) bought an Ioniq 9. So far its been great, but in almost 5k miles, we haven't yet touched a public charger. The harvester really would allow for 99% EV use case for where I live, while retaining the gas...

    What's it like to take a road trip in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning)?

    The gas prices being volatile right now has me doing this same math for our road trip this summer. Of course that’s way far out, but movement there could affect which vehicle we take (the ~30mpg PHEV, or the ioniq9). The math I did last month showed the PHEV would’ve about half the price...

    Lego Kit

    I got my son a Bronco Lego Technic for his birthday just recently. 943 pieces and he was stoke about it. It wouldn’t be hard to adapt for a scout variant methinks.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    IMO, if someone is trying to buy an EREV, they actually DO want to plug in, otherwise they'd be going for just any old truck. As a side note, if EREV is what is coming up first, then 1) thats not a surprise given the preorder distribution, and 2), I wonder if that will change what batteries are...

    I like how you kept the topographical graph lines in, to make it easier to see how far up the hill you've gone :D. (sorry, I had to)

    Arrived today here in the PNW. Also a Traveler Reservation.

    My father was a finance manager for a Fortune 500 company. I learned what amortization tables were over the dinner table when I was 8yrs old. It was boring at the time, but I really value that education now. Not that I am an expert of course, but I know enough to realize how interest rates...

    All terrain tires

    Wranglers are great at what they are for. But, they are not "super awesome" for daily commuting. And yes, the Scout should be approximately "One billion" times better :D. Good to know. All I know is that the "on road All Terrain" tire wasn't a genre I was familiar with before, and these ones...

    I personally think a lot of the depreciation hit on EV's in the US for the past few years, is because no one paid MSRP (ie, the effect of the tax credit when bought/leased new, reducing the price paid by $7500 for those that qualified). It also affected the used market too, because there was a...

    With all of the vehicles sold during covid, with huge dealer markups, this was inevitable. I know someone at work who bought a Kia EV9, for something like full MSRP + $15k dealer markup. The hit on that... would just be brutal.

    Love it :D. The next morning was great too :). Anyway, it was a good day. I drove the jeep... but the 4wd was only used in the parking lot, as the roads were clear. But if the snow was worse on the mountain, I'd have rather been in that than our other vehicles. Same thing with forest...

    It doesn't really make a lot of sense, when you get into "serious" offroading. The super serious rigs that offroad often, and well, are usually beat pretty hard, and their appearance reflects that. So you tend not to see many brand new expensive vehicles used as rockcrawling vehicles for...

    Spare tire discussion

    Agreed. I've said this a few times before. I'd also be ok with a full diameter, but narrower spare tire if it helps it fit in the cargo area/under the vehicle better. Like a 33x10.50 instead of a 33 x 12.50 for instance.

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    I've been regularly checking the mail these past few weeks, but nothing so far. Guess I'll keep an eye out even more closely now. Maybe checking the mail 2x a day! :D

    Key Fob question

    Lol, yes, exactly this. Although what you called out is what I mentioned. Having a hole in the key can help with the losing it bit. As at least it can be put on a tether. Case in point. I don't have an apple watch :D. And although I have a garmin watch (8yrs old now), I only wear it when I go...

    From the article there. This, for sure. And why I don't think that this will help keep demand up now that the price point is higher again. I definitely wouldn't buy one. I don't know anyone with one, so I guess I'd have to think about the riding in one part :D. Now that I think about it...

    Key Fob question

    I could be maybe ok with this. Also, as a side note to any scout engineers lurking. If we have an RFID card/key, please make it have a hole in it, so we can clip it to things/not lose it. The "I'm going kayaking and need my keys with me" situation, where the key goes both into a zippered...
