  • 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.

    Why I'm Cancelling My R2 Reservation

    Alright, I will take the bait, fall on the sword, or whatever you want to call it. The R2 and Audi Q9 are not one off concept vehicles. They are pre-production models. The concepts are one off, hand built and made with 3D printed parts. They took countless hours and dollars to build...

    R2 Launch Watch

    I am very curious about the R2.

    True. But, I have always thought Studebakers were really cool. I appreciate the different and weird.

    My grandfather drove Studebakers in the early days of nascar.

    I saw one in person while in Munich. I thought it looked good in person in my opinion. Certainly better than pictures.

    Reports from the regions that already have the Neue Klasse iX3 say that it’s a major leap forward for all vehicles not just EVs. I look forward to seeing more North American reviews.

    I saw that. Seems like a terrible idea. But, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

    Maybe it’s a dry sump system. I don’t recall hearing anything specific about the oiling configuration. Maybe someone else caught that info somewhere.

    I think ertl made those. I’d say strong maybe. In addition to being an IH dealer in the 80s, we also had Ford. I got the exact same tractor but the Ford version for Christmas one year.

    RAV4 is the best selling vehicle. Take the dimensions of the RAV4 and make them just slightly larger with more cargo room and body on frame. That is certainly worth looking at for a future model.

    It’s fun to think about what’s next. Don’t forget that Scout actively reads this forum. If you want to see something from Scout there is no better place to say it.

    It doesn’t seem like it, but the original Scout 80 is nearly identical in length and width to a Mazda MX5 Miata. People seem to really like that size. However, a little bit bigger that could support 4 doors, or a 2 door removable top. I keep thinking about the 4 door Isuzu rodeo and the quasi...

    I hear you and agree… BUT the compact suv segment is absolutely massive. It makes a ton of business sense to look at that segment.

    After reading this I am left pondering what would a sub $30k Scout branded vehicle vehicle look like. How would it be equipped? Is it even possible? https://apple.news/AgmNNZkLERZ6cAefWolyhFg

    Fellow South Carolinian, I have less than zero faith in our state legislature. We shall see.
