  • 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.

    Forum platform - XenForo vs. Fora?

    Finally got motivated enough to post - XenForo seems like a really crude forum platform for Scout to use. Fora seems much sleeker, any reason not to use that instead for a forward-looking firm? https://fora.com/communities/ vs. https://xenforo.com/ Most every other auto site I visit uses...

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    Has anyone seen an image of Traveler in Silo? Been looking around here but don't see it - could one of the resident wizards here create it or post a link if its already been done?

    Scout Traveler Debuts in New Pacific Mist Color

    Of the four concept colors (assuming any/all are actually offered) plus black, white, silver, gray - I'd go with Silo. But would also like to see lighter colors - e.g. Buckskin, Elk, some other primary color derivative that I can't quite recall, etc.

    Scout Motors announces in-vehicle satellite connectivity and highlights Scout Community UX interface at CES 2025

    I'd like to see permanent exterior install of the receiver but w/ the more streamlined rack. Perhaps shoot the gap between hatch opening and rear edge of cabana roof? I certainly don't need satellite, but if the install is permanent and relatively clean then I'd probably get it just...

    What do we think is going to happen on the 24th of October?

    Scout should have planned to bring the concepts to DC for the first couple weeks of October - give the non-essentials here something to do.

    2025 NYC photo-measurement requests

    Fine with me - just want easy access to split tailgate. They could put particleboard there and I'd be fine with it.

    2025 NYC photo-measurement requests

    Any plaid upholstery, anywhere - seats, headliner, doors, etc. Just to keep hope alive.

    Scout Concepts in New York City September 18-19, 2025

    Scout Motors corporate HQ is in No. VA - you could easily take the train from there via Tysons station to Mt Vernon Sq-Convention Center. You'd think they'd eventually bring the concepts here for an invitation-only fanboy accomplished-professional feedback session.

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    Another plug for amber turn signals in back. Plenty of rigs have them, and safer if you're inclined to trust science.

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    I envision not getting one. Ready access to split tailgate, easier urban parking, better fit in my garage, and crisper appearance.

    Yeah got a hunch this will be highly customizable.

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    Yeah I figured you'd have to fabricate a new part. Looking forward to seeing it. Perhaps a nice shade of Elk or Buckskin?

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    Looking forward to seeing roof rails, presumably less clutter up top. And interested in mildly-neutral colors. But again with the spare tire carrier? For an urban display? Plenty of people interested in live images w/out the carrier. At least the gas can seems to be gone...

    Scout Terra Debuts in New Silo Color and Retheme

    Yep - plaid in light theme and dark themed interiors. Alternatively, if take rate is projected to be low, do a neutral plaid on the seats/doors (like a warmer gray?) and offer with light and dark surrounds that would come with different color leather seats. Others prefer dark interiors but I...

    Scout Terra Debuts in New Silo Color and Retheme

    Would be great to see some of those headliner materials be offered on the seats - I'd be all in for a textile alternative, esp. plaid. If I ran into Scott Keogh in a bar here in No. VA, I'd ask to show him my Volvo -
