  • 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 know its really stupid, but the iPhone Air experiment helped me overcome this anxiety, well most of it. I am looking forward to the BEV marshmallow roast. I know you're kidding, but it would be really cool if there was an EV only off road rally event that included vehicles like Scouts...

    All terrain tires

    I think you missed the part about them usually having softer compounds. The K03 Scout will install will likely not be the same K03 you buy at a tire shop. Most people dont realize they are different tires despite being the same size and model. Car manufacturers typically get multiple versions...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Installed the Perry Parts bump stops last night. Here is the factory bump stop vs the PP BS (I didn’t use that acronym to save time, it just appealed to my inner child) The factory rear and new PP BS The rear PP BS are also in now…. But I was pretty miffed when I realized the remote...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    I can try to measure them tonight. The Key Cones vary between 4.75" and 5.25" from what I have read. The Perry Parts bump stops are pretty neat. They are 3D printed and have air channels to cushion hard impacts but also smooth gentle ones by letting air escape faster. Some people say they are...

    Yep. Usually Eibach makes all of the coils for all of these companies. Sometimes if you read the spring rates and lengths, they are identical between companies and just have different colors and prices. I think Toytec has some Superflex progressive coils that are light but also droop like...

    Assuming you can charge at a Level II or Level III charger in the area you need the extended range, sure.

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    My factory radiator sprung a leak on this trip, since its the original 22 year old radiator with plastic tanks. I ordered a new CSF radiator from Summit Racing and it should be delivered tomorrow. It's over 50% thicker than the factory one and used B style cooling tubes that give even more...

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    Welp. I done it again. Went off-roading a few weekends ago and blew one of my long travel bags. I didnt think I needed limit straps and extended bump stops because the extended travel airbag manufacturer in Australia called the shock manufacturer (Dobsinsons) to confirm they can play nice...

    All terrain tires

    I dont get hung up on factory tires because manufacturers usually spec a different tire than you get off the shelf. They tend to ride smoother and quieter to help sell the car on a test drive, but wear out much faster than the normal retail tires do because they use softer compounds to...

    Nope. My fat a-- already eats up too much of the payload as it is. We also carry a LOT of crap when we travel so I can't give up all that bed space. If I did an Arctic trip in a truck instead of the motorcycle, it would definitely consider building one though. Just having fun with...

    Tesla abandoned their Cybertruck bed mounted battery. If they can't do it I doubt any other manufacturer will either.

    The Kubota V1505 can produce 25kW at 3,000RPM and weighs 243lbs. Its 23.9"H x 22.3"L x 15.6"W Then add the generator for a total of around 320lbs. Spline the little diesel into a DC permanent magnet pancake generator that are usually good for 95% efficiency. Then that is wired to a voltage...

    Love the idea!!! I think you would need to forgo most of the functional storage in the bed and a big chunk of payload to fit the gas/diesel generator, LFP battery generator that cleans up the voltage and acts as an electrical buffer, and necessary fuel bladders/tanks, however you would still...

    Scout Traveler and Terra Photo Collections and Wallpapers

    Happy Friday! I am leaving work early today to go camping with the kiddos at an all weekend Boy Scout thing. Pray for me, and them. It would be a lot easier if I had the Terra with all its storage and power capabilities, can't wait!

    It sounds like you dont lose your "Place in line" but certain options will ultimately determine on when it's produced and delivered.
