  • 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.

    Package options - what would you like bundled?

    Do you have power mirrors? Or do you have to manually adjust them? That would tell you whether there's a power wire run in there. I would doubt it on a Wrangler though as it would complicate going doorless. I know they have the quick connect wires now for the power locks and windows, but mirrors...

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

    Thank you much. I bought it when I was 24 (43 now). It was my daily for 10 years and has had fun car status since then. A little over 77k miles. I've gone back and forth with selling it over the years, but my kids are now 10 and 7 and they both love it so it isn't going anywhere.

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    I really appreciate the in depth reply. I guess simple answer says probably not worth it. I'm only talking about 1-3 trips per year and then the generator could have worked as a backup for the house. That reply also puts in to perspective just how big the batteries in these vehicles are.

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    I almost tagged him, but figured he'd probably chime in without me having to do so. I used the forum search before posting and the question was only really hit around edges on threads about making the Harvester removable.

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    I only gave the Lincoln example because it sparked the question in my mind. I was asking more about a Honda or Generac portable. My thinking here would be I put a portable generator and my Jeep on a trailer and tow it to my wheeling spot. The Scout would be parked for the weekend while I wheel...

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    This was posted in the Extra Extra thread a little bit ago https://electrek.co/2025/09/26/e-quipment-highlight-50-kw-portable-dc-fast-charger-from-lincoln-electric/ I've been thinking the EREV was my path forward, but the towing capacity limit may push me to BEV. The article got me thinking...

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

    I already own it, though it would need some work to be reliable as a daily again after 19 years. 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon that I bought new.

    Luxury Pacific Mist

    I would bet that a lot of that data is pretty inaccurate. What people buy vs what people want can vary quite a bit due to how many manufacturers package items together. My 2019 Pacifica is a Limited trim. It came with all sorts of options that my wife and I did not want. But Chrysler only...

    2025 NYC photo-measurement requests

    Maybe the interior light functionality with doors open?

    Travelall 3 Row

    I would have to think that they'll wait for a new battery tech before this. I can't imagine how heavy it would be with current tech.

    Waiting for Scout, I leased an Ioniq 5. Here are things I'd like to Improve and as they relate to Scout Terra or Traveler

    Headrests is one of those things that can ruin a perfectly comfortable seat. My Grand Cherokee headrest is adjustable up and down, but not forward and rearward. Luckily, they positioned it well. My Pacifica can adjust in every direction. I find that I adjust it more than I'd have expected to...

    No need to apologize. You posted a different article from a different source and as I said, it was 17 pages ago. With as many articles that are posted in this thread, it's really easy to miss things.

    Scout Concepts in New York City September 18-19, 2025

    That would probably be the closest it will ever get to me. I'd be tempted to make the drive up.

    Thank you. And yes, I am aware of the dimensions. My reservation is for the Traveler.

    Must haves to purchase…

    I really don't like the size of modern pick ups. Coworker picked me up in her 150 last week and it felt huge. I don't want to drive something that big. Even the Traveler is bigger than I'd like, but damn do I love the styling. Can't wait to see it in person. It's 230 and the last 30 miles are...

    Must haves to purchase…

    I like reading that kind of feedback. And I keep telling myself that the EV can also serve the purpose of home generator. That has a value as well. We lose power occasionally and don't have gas at the house, so no generator like a lot of my neighbors. The thought of plugging my car in to the...

    Must haves to purchase…

    I'm fully expecting the way I'll option the Traveler to cost $85k +/- $5k. I priced out a Rivian at one point and my options quickly priced it over $95k. I think what I really wanted was around $105k. Above $85 and I'm definitely out. I'm probably still out at $80k. I just can't wrap my head...
