  • 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.

    Harvester Talk: Q&A

    Yes. Please.

    Non-Scientific Science

    Well I guess that again confirms the whole “for best results, tow charge in reverse at full throttle”. :ROFLMAO: So I guess since zero is zero in the Rivian, they should have made sure to leave a little charge as to not kill everything and then try tow charging in reverse. Would be...

    I appreciate the warning. I’ll check it out later tonight when young eyes and ears are asleep and in a different room, thanks. :)

    Non-Scientific Science

    Very interesting read, thank you for sharing as I had not run across this one yet. Flat-tow charging with the Rivian in reverse. I mean it still makes sense, but parts of me puckered on reading that. ?

    Non-Scientific Science

    Thank you for adding that note, so very true. The same goes for me most likely as I do not currently have a tow vehicle to flat tow with anymore. While I’m not ruling it out at some point again in the future, I doubt that I could/would afford a motorhome with a sufficient tow capacity for a...

    Non-Scientific Science

    Well yes - but I’m more interested in the aftermath, how they dealt with it, what worked and what didn’t, and how the two vehicles performed in similar circumstances because that’s the kind of real-world information that we often don’t see shared around. I didn’t really get the impression they...

    I hope they do as well.

    That was on the Rivian. Kind of a bummer, seems like they need to have a redo on the whole trip.

    Accessories Poll For Scouts

    Yep, I have to agree about the whole wrenches part and I’ll add to that - Scout Motors please, please, please design the vehicles in a way that is friendly to aftermarket designers and engineers. Don’t make it difficult on the aftermarket. If it’s difficult to design for, the aftermarket will...

    Non-Scientific Science

    Alright…anybody else give the video a watch by now? I’m surprised nobody mentioned the whole tow charging thing or the death of a 12 volt battery system. I thought for sure there’d be some discussion surrounding those at the very least. The whole tow charging situation even made me think of...

    Towing Behind Motorhome - Flat Towing

    Competition breeds innovation so who knows what might happen if more companies jump in. Probably the biggest thing working against Scout Motors in this area will unfortunately be sheer weight. The weight of an EV will already eliminate it as an option for a certain portion of the RVing public...

    Are Aluminum Body Panels on the drawing board?

    Good question. Leaving the rusty memories behind would benefit everyone.

    Too much AI

    I’ve said the same thing. I won’t buy another vehicle without adaptive cruise. It makes long trips that much better for me. I don’t care so much about hands free or self driving or lane keeping or whatever, but definitely give me a well-programmed adaptive cruise option.

    Road Trip in a VW Buzz: Success or Train Wreck

    The “necessary” question might be a regional thing I suppose? There are still many parts of the country that have very sparse or non-existent charging opportunities so any new charging stations opening up could be a welcomed addition.

    Road Trip in a VW Buzz: Success or Train Wreck

    I’d say you’re correct, seems like we’re in the same boat on the same river! ?

    Size comparison

    Wheelbase changes the game when off road too. Breakover angle can come to bite you.

    A kitchen would be ridiculous, but I wouldn’t be sad

    I am not against this. Anyone have any experience using one? Seems like it’d be awesome when camping. Definitely takes up tunnel space though so I’m not sure how Scout Motors would package something like this or where it would be stored.

    Road Trip in a VW Buzz: Success or Train Wreck

    This is very helpful, thank you. Now I don’t know much about RAN (yes I’ll go research it tonight), but at the risk of asking a very stupid question - will you be able to use the RAN for a Scout? Or will you switch your charging routine with a Scout? Sorry for the lack of knowledge, but I...

    Road Trip in a VW Buzz: Success or Train Wreck

    Thank you and I agree, much appreciated. Your points are definitely valid. Part of our problem is that vacation time comes at a premium and the other is that we have a lot of adventures on our to-do list. Another is that we cannot financially support the diverse amount of vehicles that we...

    Option to turn off center display

    I’d be down for that! Based on my experiences in other vehicles’ voice command-ability though I wonder if it might be good for there to be a backup way to adjust it manually as well? Maybe SM will make the Scout systems good enough to not need it though, who knows. :)
