  • 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.

    FJ Cruiser filled the need for 51 years of missing Scout

    Nice, it amazing how the FJ has been able to hold it value. I love the design of the doors on the FJs.

    US Dealer Slaps $20,000 Markup On VW ID. Buzz

    Just saw my first ID Buzz, had no idea they had hit dealers. MSRP on this one was 69k in Maryland.

    US Dealer Slaps $20,000 Markup On VW ID. Buzz

    Good on you and your team. Personally, I don't deal with dealership who do markups. With today's ability to cross reference pricing, I'm surprised so many dealerships are able to get away with this.

    Please put extender in back and give biggest frunk possible!

    I agree. I can relate, I carry two-three bags to work each day, backpack, lunch, and gym bag and always stick in the rear of the cargo space of the Bronco but gets tossed in the front seat of the Tacoma because the bed is always occupied. I always feel as it my car is cluttered with bags, more...

    Lessons Learned on Range Anxiety

    It's like having a continental breakfast, they don't need to offer it but it is a perk that for some may be the difference between booking or not booking.

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

    I concur, one dislike about the Bronco.

    So what does everyone think of the first new Scout designs...

    Well put. Seeing the Scout in person I think helps separate the resemblance of a Rivian. Using pictures online I can understand the similarity between the Terra and the Rivian truck, in person that's not the case. Scout is in a great position to capture a large market that has a sensational...

    Stunning colors & stripes on Terra / Traveler - previews ?

    I'm with you on matte paint, however on the Terra, it looked incredible. It almost appeared it had some metal flake. As for the Traveler, I'm curious if it was a tri-coat? Brining a paint gauge to the reveal probably would have be frowned upon, I've been banned from Wal-Mart as a adolescent, I'm...

    Stunning colors & stripes on Terra / Traveler - previews ?

    I feel like I'm cheating on scoutmotors.com for posting this but thought it was appropriate to share given the conversation. Source is ScoutEVFourum.com Alot of potential here for SM. I think with the cemetery of the body lines of the traditional Scout II's this works well.

    Stunning colors & stripes on Terra / Traveler - previews ?

    Now we're talking, perhaps we can petition for a scratch and sniff paint? @J Alynn, we could option this with the bubble maker?
