  • 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.

    Questions about the Harvester

    Please give us a clearer definition around what you see as "Gas and Go". This is not a term in my vernacular, not something that I (personally) use in dialog ever. I'm guessing some people here are also wondering the same thing. Theoretically: Whenever I hear the term "Gas and Go" on this...

    How will the scouts handle the extreme cold?

    Some heated windshields (I have owned both types) are either full heat across the entire surface, or may have heating elements around the wipers or in select areas. I actually prefer the select option around the wipers. Heating elements in a windshield can be distracting and sometimes annoying...

    Drivetrain

    When you consider science and understand the data more clearly, and once you can understand the bigger picture related to drilling, refining, transporting, burning fuel (and the severe impact that has on the earth, our water & the atmosphere), you will see that the non-truths and dis-information...

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    Every car (or truck) will be different - the implementation and settings for regen with throttle sensivity (based on drive mode, for example) can affect the "feel" of regen. Not all implementations are equal, and not all drivers are great drivers when it comes to passenger comfort (in gas or EV).

    Global EREV battery capacity deployment is growing six times faster than that of BEVs

    Yes, thank you, thought that was obvious!

    CLOSED! Audio System Brand Poll

    Yes. I feel like that is really the question here - 100%. It is likely going to be very difficult to get upgrades going to the head unit and infotainment system, but speakers could be upgradable, or maybe a plug in for a sub through the firewall to the frunk if you want to blow doors off. LOL.

    Global EREV battery capacity deployment is growing six times faster than that of BEVs

    Why not just use any unused gas to charge (instead of plugging in)? Of course, that is assuming that there is a "sit an spin" mode for the Harvester while you are parked.

    CLOSED! Audio System Brand Poll

    Well, Rivian ditched Meridian shortly after launch. I thought they were known more for their other work though. Anyway, at the end of the day, and based on what Scout wants to do with configurability and modularity, it probably doesn't matter as much (also with the desire to keep price points in...

    Consumer Freedom and Scout Motors in South Carolina

    People (not all people) do horrible things when they purchase expensive stuff. To be clear - I'm not saying the OP is one of them or insinuating that. I am saying is that Rivian needs to protect itself from the "possibility" of purchasers with ill-intent, so they establish a system for...

    Global EREV battery capacity deployment is growing six times faster than that of BEVs

    The jump to "full EV" is hard for a lot of people... Not everyone is an early adopter (even though going full BEV isn't really new, it will be new for many truck owners). The hesitancy is also not very surprising based on the anti-EV factions and O&G stalwart's incessant dis and mis-information...

    Hybrid pickup truck options in the U.S.: 5 current & 10 future models

    Considering the Terra is slightly smaller than a F-150 with a shorter wheelbase, I wouldn't even consider putting a Super Duty in the same category as a Terra. Super Duty Crew Cab length is 254.4" and the Terra is over 2 feet shorter in length at 229.2"

    Consumer Freedom and Scout Motors in South Carolina

    If I am understanding you correctly, and as a potential consumer, you made the choice to convert your "reservation" to a purchase, at which point the $1000 becomes non-refundable (for valid reasons and to protect the company), and you made the decision to do that on your own. If you decided that...

    Scout Snow Cat Edition

    Off-road meaning cold, rutted-out, dirt, ice tundra, feeze/re-freeze washboard mountain gaps, etc... yes. (PLUS On-Road snow of course) Off-road meaning dry, barren, desert rock.... Def no.

    Scout Snow Cat Edition

    Awesome - an optional cold WX "Snow Cat Package" would be my #1 choice, BUT needs to ditch the mudchuckers and wear real Snows like these!

    Hybrid pickup truck options in the U.S.: 5 current & 10 future models

    Its amazing how the Scout stands out amongst that line-up... Every single other option on the list is either outdated, tired, boring or worn-out in terms of design & innovation. Truck buyers will be blown away by the new Scout in comparison - and not only in terms of looks but also capability...

    Range and Competitiveness

    Cost, increased weight, complexity, service requirements and longer lead time to production could all be possible reasons. (The inverse being lower cost, less weight, less materials, simplicity, easier maintenance and faster time to market). But hypotheticals are hypothetical and all...

    Consumer Freedom and Scout Motors in South Carolina

    Not so sure it is fair to say that Rivian was not transparent with the reservation system - at least based on my experience. The entire process was very transparent, simple, and when it came time to convert my reservation to an actual order, I was able to do everything in the mobile app & with...
