  • 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.

    What If?

    See this as a Scout Store add on purchase. Not all will want. I find myself changing out receiver hitches a fair amount and for me that is getting the keys for the locking pin. As I was doing that yet again this afternoon, I wondered if a different approach could be taken. "What if" - you...

    Audio system

    Said it in the past, but still like the idea of teaming up with marine grade JL Audio speakers. They sound amazing when sitting on the water, and seem to be a good fit when 4 wheeling with the top down.

    ICE Box

    Built in slot for a removable (if you wish to) custom "Scout Motors" cooler that can be purchased separately online at the Scout Store. Two models: 1) regular cooler, and 2) upgraded plug in type cooler. All Scouts have the needed plug built into the slot, allowing any future purchase of the...

    Truck version

    I do like this setup for a bed cover. Easy to roll up for bed use. Leave covered for extended range and large trunk area for road trips.

    Prices dropping on EVs

    You had me at MG. I currently have a '62 MGA that I'm restoring (sitting right beside my Scout II of course). Had to take a look at least. https://www.mgcyberster.co.uk/

    Lessons Learned on Range Anxiety

    I hate that I did chicken out looking back. If it was anything but the mountains I would have been all in for the chance to give it a try. Next time EV for sure!

    Lessons Learned on Range Anxiety

    The wife and I recently flew out to Denver for a long weekend get away (Whiskey Myers concert at Red Rock - highly recommend!). We rented our car through National, which allows you to pick any car in certain rows. As we approached this area to select one, we came across two EV options. I...

    Starting the Scout

    That's kinda where my mind was going....is a start button even needed? No motor to start. Keeping with the theme of simplicity, driver sits in the driver seat and car is put into active mode: AC, radio etc. come on and shifter is activated.

    Scout Design Ideas

    A must for an option! If you want manual, get manual...but if you want power options they should be there for an option!! I also know some love the nostalgia of crank windows, but no thank you! Needs power windows for an option as well.

    Removable top is a must

    Rented a Mustange convertable last week. It had one of the slickest top releases I've seen. Instead of the typical two handles on either side of the windshield, it had a single handle in the middle. It operated very smoothly.
