  • 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.

    I have a friend who has an 80 in that color, and it's a gorgeous blue!

    Buttons vs screens

    Love this idea, I'll definitely run it by the team. Huge pet people over here, and could see this being a great feature.

    Buttons vs screens

    Absolutely hear you here. Having an intuitive interface that is easy to navigate and purposeful, but still innovative and designed well is definitely on our radar and in mind as we work through the interior of these vehicles. We agree that the interface shouldn't distract from driving or...

    Are there ways to be involved?

    I can assure you that the team’s intention here is not to cash in on the community’s two-cents. Our goal here is to have the community involved enough early on, so that we can do these vehicles right by the community, from the start, and build from there. We want to include features, styling...

    Can’t divulge too much on this front at the moment. But… stay tuned, because we may or may not be dropping some forum-exclusive content here soon that would shed a little more light here. ?

    Welcome and Introductions!

    Love to hear it @ih_scout800 and welcome to the forum! Would love to hear more stories about your Scout, bet you’ve got some ones after 30 years!

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

    For sure, I want to manage expectations that the new generation won’t be ‘60s and ‘70s era remakes/Restos, but rather a new generation of the Scout that aim to push the future of electric trucks and rugged SUVs, and define a new generation of vehicle, the same way the historic Scouts did in...

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

    For sure @jtorre4272. One thing the team has been prudent on is the intuitive nature and working function of the vehicle, both as a daily but also in the sense of an off-roader. While the interior is still in the design phase so I can’t say too much on it for the moment (also don’t want to...

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

    I think you hit a solid point here, and something that's been a focal point when working on the interior: How to blend forward-looking tech with an intuitive and haptic approach. Having physical touch points is something we want in the vehicles, as well as making the features intuitive to use...

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

    At the moment, a 2-door isn't in the plans. However, that's not to say that it isn't something that could be brought to the table for consideration in the future.

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

    The rear access is something that's actually been a heavy focus when it comes to designing the functionality and ergonomics of the vehicles, while also keeping in mind the heritage and original designs of the tailgate. However, at the moment, the way access to the rear will open hasn't been...

    Welcome and Introductions!

    All good @J_P we'll just have to convert ya ;). But in all reality, we'd love to hear from people that aren't necessarily Scout people, to get as much input as we can also!

    Welcome and Introductions!

    Hey @SurfScout and welcome to the community! We're excited to bring these vehicles to the market, and can't wait to share the journey and get feedback along the way! Here's a little background/intro on myself for ya:

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

    For sure! Getting out in the field is honestly the best part of the job, and the only way to get hands-on experience and knowledge. However, being on here is the best way to grab direct input from the larger community that we may not be able to reach in person... also have to be in the office...

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

    Thanks @ColeAK for this! I totally hear you, and will definitely bring this back to the team, think this is some valuable feedback. From my own off-roading and trail experience, I personally like smaller wheels with larger tires, and see where the benefit comes in. I'll bring it up on our front!

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

    Thanks for the input @broadicustomworks, this is exactly the type of feedback and dialogue we want to hear and have with our community and customers. We're working day in and day out to make sure that these vehicles will have proper range to get out on the trails, but also back. We're...

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

    Thanks for the input @Beach_Bum. We're still in development but can assure you that we're working on a new technical platform, dedicated to these vehicles which will allow us to build a true rugged platform for the new Scouts to be built on. Will take this input on back to the team!

    Love the feedback and these kinds of lists, will definitely take this back to the team over here!
