  • 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.

    New Scout Trucks To Be Revealed October 24, 2024

    I saw a disproportionate numbers of SUV's at work today. With the exception of an older Suburban - all were newer models and honestly I could not tell brand from brand without looking at the names on them (abet I could not see the grills, only the sides and tails). They all looked the same...

    Scout Motors - who are your competitors?

    Nostalgia marking goes back way before the Bronco. The Mustang took hints from the Mach I, the Camero ditched 3 decades of design to take hints for the late 60's and early 70's. Perhaps CAT is going to make a truck, but I googled a youtube video on them, and it was showing 4 or 5 different...

    New Scout Trucks To Be Revealed October 24, 2024

    To me I get depressed every time I read SUV. There are so many SUV's on the market - all but a very few of the supposed "offroad" SUV's are all just another SUV - another boring people mover, never really intended to go offroad, just grocery getters. They are effectively the modern station...

    SUV Reveal questions-pregame

    While I can appreciate the looks of the drawing - I can only assume that the actual version will have some sort of display in the dash. I guess they can do hands free telephone - not seeing how any navigation will be easy without a display - but I guess some minimal navigation could be in the...

    I wonder if Rivan will add "the voice"

    New Scout Trucks To Be Revealed October 24, 2024

    At this point, I have little clue what the vehicle to be revealed will be - with a laundry list of hopes (abet I am not all that hopeful will be included), and a handful of non-negotiables (which I am not optimistic about within a realistic price - but can still hope for 1 more week). 5k towing...

    Summer Reveal

    You do commercials when capacity exceeds demand. I don't think I have seen too many Cybertruck commercials either. Have not seen too many Tesla sales event commercials in general - but they do occasionally have promotions.

    How much personalization/modification ability do you want to see in the new Scout?

    Noooo. One color - everything else is a special order upcharge. Tesla model. Hell, many colors are probably available by wrap only.

    VW is investing in Rivian

    While not an exact analogy, sometimes it is more costly down the road to repurpose than to design something correctly from the start. Legacy auto makers are paying the price for trying to adapt legacy vehicles to EV's. The same can probably be said about trying to adapt legacy factories or...

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

    If you want to be "green", then lighter and more aerodynamic is the best option. Aptera is attempting to go that route - will see if the market supports it. With the Aptera, perhaps it's solar makes some sense. IF you look at minimal daily driving, perhaps with it's impressive miles/kw the...

    VW is investing in Rivian

    I guess it all depends on where you are how you view land. If it is the land next door you view it one way - If you are 10 miles away, you probably view it very differently. Plus I am in S. Texas. 3k acres is not all that much. The real change is the people who move in to work at the plant...

    Direct competitor: 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S

    I hope this is not the competition. I fear that this is the competition. I think the Scout needs to be a lifestyle vehicle - not just another crossover. Crossover market seems saturated. The idea of a compromise vehicle eventually makes none of them actually stand out against each other...

    Top Five Accessories For The New Scout

    Probably not going to even be considered - but. Given a traditional Scout would have a removable hard top... (Perhaps not a given). Could you consider 2 hard top options. I know, EVERY car company thinks that people want sun roofs. I live in a hot climate. I don't want a sun roof - really...

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

    Just my personal opinion, but I hope it is NOT Tahoe'esq. Had a Tahoe - I guess it was a practical SUV, but not really great at anything. As a daily driver, we replaced it with a minivan. As an offroad vehicle, well we could have replaced it with just about anything, but ended up with a JLUR...

    MAX RANGE

    While probably NOT an economic or even a technologically possible solution - a modular battery could be interesting. Imagine if a person could get in the door with a 200 mile range battery. They realize they #$%^^#ed up, they could add another 100 mile module or 2. Or on a different note...

    Regenerative Braking and Flat towing, "four-down towing" or "dinghy towing."

    Definitely hope for flat towing. I know the toad is a niche market, but within the niche it is a deciding factor on the vehicle. As for charging - I really don't know the cost. It would be very cool if the vehicle could respond with regenerative braking from a brake controller on the tow...

    Interior accent color

    Solved the red dash issue with my wife's Rubicon - just make sure you have a red body as well.

    Scout Supply Merchandise Live

    Shacket - I am guessing the site had a typo that was noticed and quickly corrected - my bet it is called a Jacket now.

    Scout Supply Merchandise Live

    Talk about a limited production run - it is already gone (or the spelling was corrected).

    Summer Reveal

    I have tried to keep up, but I probably have failed miserably. I have heard that the factory groundbreaking has happened, but I can only assume it will take a while to get it built and the machinery installed. Which leads to the second assumption that any reveal this year would be from a...
