  • 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.

    5klbs towing cap with gas range extender?

    Been there, done that, shaved years off of my life from stress most likely. Driving my first 3500HD diesel was an awakening after mostly light duty trucks. 8k behind me mostly, and it drove like a dream, 30mpg average over 300k miles.

    Scout Concepts are coming home April 18-20, 2026

    I'm hoping they release colors early, with lots of choices. A lot of people are going to need a year+ to decide on a color combination if Scout keeps coming up with awesome colors. :ROFLMAO: Many manufacturers launch with more colors initially, then reduce them afterwards, so I'm hoping for...

    Cab Options

    I used to autocross a good bit back in the 90s and ran an '85 Celica mostly. The suspension and brakes were solid, but that 22RE just didn't have much power, regardless of mods. I learned to use the parking brake exceptionally well and was drifting before it was cool. That drastically...

    It's not just a concern when parallel parking. My spare is mounted to my swing-out rear door, but the result is the same, you need room behind the vehicle to swing the door open. The bigger issue is in standard parking lots. Pull your vehicle in nose-first, and you're okay, but I prefer...

    Cab Options

    I want to see Scout succeed, but I love me some '80's Toyotas, so I'd personally rather see this project come to fruition for you. Like most old Scouts, most '80's Toyotas around here dissolve when wet and have long since departed this realm.

    Actual delay official and order of deliveries confirmed?

    Does the entire factory have to be complete with a final inspection before certain areas can start producing parts, or is it permitted in such a way that if the body shop is complete, they can start stamping out preproduction body panels or chassis components while other areas are wrapping up?

    AI In Scouts 2027

    Many manufacturers have it in the purchase documents that most people do not read. I agree though, and personally opt out of everything when possible. I still don't trust the manufacturers to not have misplaced my opt-out request or to not have entered my purchase information correctly. It's...

    Good call @Scoutsie , that is a really nice yellow in person.

    AI In Scouts 2027

    With VW reporting to LexisNexis and Rivian collecting and sharing all data, I expect Scout to be doing the same, so Big Brother will be tracking your every move, speeding event, hard braking/acceleration events, etc. Much of this is shared with insurance companies as well. I intend to disable...

    Wait, I changed my mind. This would look pretty cool if you could mount the spare tire to the back of the tailgate, but then move it up into the bed pre-runner style. It'd only be about the looks, but they're probably going to stick this thing in a useless 4' long bed anyway, so looks are...

    Please don't put the Harvester engine behind/below the rear axle

    As the driver of an SUV with a 100-lb spare hanging off the rear and often with a few hundred pounds of cargo/equipment in the rear, I've got the suspension set up where the thing handles very well while not being harsh at all, so I'm confident Scout can do the same. For the departure angle...

    I can't think of any practical use for this.

    Under Front Seat Vents

    One of my vehicles in the past (no clue which one) had the vent under the seat where the top could be popped up to vacuum inside of it. Brilliant and simple. Just slide the seat forward, pop the top plastic panel up, clean, and reverse.

    TFL dumping on Scout in there latest video

    Losing the federal tax credits definitely hurt Scout, like many others, so I suspect they're doing everything they can to keep pricing in line with expectations. Luckily, battery prices continue to fall in the meantime, so that's helpful at least.

    TFL dumping on Scout in there latest video

    I'm not sure a 13% EV take-rate with Scout qualifies as bucking the trend, but the demand for the EREV is definitely a step in the right direction.

    Generator + Solar integration

    Charge at a DCFC and you're typically getting 200v-500v DC already, so the truck's inverter can already take varying voltage levels. Same with being able to take 110v-240v AC. I doubt it'd run all the way down to 12v as an acceptable level, but most rooftop panels seem to run in the 40v-60v...

    Scout Color Poll #1

    So you're saying that Scout shouldn't do a canary yellow and mute it down some, perhaps going with traditional Post-It note yellow, or some such shade? :ROFLMAO:

    They haven't been shy about their criticism of American vehicles over the years, so I suspect you're correct.

    Generator + Solar integration

    If the inverter ends up right behind the rear axle, it shouldn't be too hard for Scout to have an optional charging kit with factory connectors from the inverter to a charging outlet in the bed, possibly including a DC port for solar. I don't think it makes sense to increase costs for everyone...

    Generator + Solar integration

    I don't see enough of a use-case between the Harvester and full EV model to warrant spending the effort to have an aux input while you drive. If simple programming allows the charger input to be used while driving though, I'd be okay with that and I think you can figure out the range solution...
