  • 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.

    My issue with a lot of branded trims is they're often strictly cosmetic. They don't offer any anything worthwhile. I always liked the Ford Eddie Bauer trims in Bronco s and Explorers, but I could never see myself paying extra just because it has embroidered trees on the seats and two-tone paint...

    That collaboration lasted 8 years. Subaru made it sound like they were happy with it but wanted to expand their brand to other warm weather parts of the country where the LL Bean name wasn't as meaningful. https://www.cars.com/articles/subaru-and-l-l-bean-part-company-1420663278853/

    Would I not buy a Scout if they partnered with REI? I'm not sure. It would definitely factor in my decision. That was my original point. Why risk alienating any potential customers?

    That's not what it's about. They stopped selling non-firearm outdoor items from a vendor (Vista) who happened to also own a company that made bolt-action hunting rifles (Savage). REI did not resume selling Vista items until Vista divested their firearms division. That's not a position of...

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    One thing about Buc-ee's that many people aren't aware of: You have to eat in your car. There is no seating. If you're looking for a break from sitting in your car, it's probably not the place.

    You can still get a CD player in a Subaru WRX. It's $450 and mounted in the center console. I like the setup in my 2019 Golf. There's a CD player and a SD slot in the glove box. I never use the CD player, but I keep a SD card loaded with several hundred songs in it.
