  • 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.

    It does matter a little bit because the host, Doug Demuro, is popular. He created Cars and Bids, and his personal YouTube channel has over 5 million subscribers. This is how I imagine some of the people at Scout are feeling this week 😉.

    We will be reading articles about this for weeks, just just like all the articles about the BEV being delayed. Everyone jumps on the story without doing any research. They're just recycling the same "news". I've already seen one, but at least they reached out to Scout for a response and got one...

    Paywall. Better numbers. They lost $3.6 billion for 2025, compared to $4.7 billion in 2025

    Help me decide BEV or EREV

    Excessive front tire wear in the R1 might be the reason the Rivian R2 will use the rear tires in conserve mode.

    That you can't officially say you will have Carplay or Android Auto until you sign a contract with them and money changes hands.

    Vehicles 80" and more in width are required to have additional lighting (3 amber lights in the front, three red lights in the back). Most manufacturers try and stay under that number, which is probably why Scouts will be 79.9 inches.

    I can see the Tungsten trim hitting 6 figures, but an ICE Laramie 1500 is $65-70k with a street price under $60k.

    Something smells fishy. 2025 Ramcharger? It's the RAM REV, and 2026 or 2027. Why would they post a Monroney for a vehicle that was never offered for sale?
