  • 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.

    6-ScoutFamily’s Scouting Memories

    Nope, everything you see there is long gone. You gotta remember that was almost 50 years ago. That foam roll might still be around in some form or other.

    6-ScoutFamily’s Scouting Memories

    This is a 1978 trip in the ‘76 Scout where my mom, dad, me and my wife traveled from Montana to California for my brother in law’s wedding. The whole trip was about three weeks. Yes, we really did fit four adults and all that stuff in and on top of the Scout. The 345 barely struggled. Notice...

    Clearing trail on the East fork of the Cimarron trail. 1967 scout. July 1968. The minute this stuff becomes annoying, let me know, I’ll stop.

    1966 Bronco and 1967 Scout “face off”. Drivers swap vehicles for the photo, my dad (in the black hat) is on the left.

    6-ScoutFamily’s Scouting Memories

    Bronco and Scout on Elephant Hill in Canyonlands. The little wide spot at the end of the switchback is where you turn around to continue. It required about a 5-point turn for the Scout. Probably just a yawn for the Bronco :)

    Will the Scout EREV be obsolete by the time it gets here in 2027/28?

    This is why asking AI about anything doesn’t work well. Thanks @Jamie@ScoutMotors.

    Think I forgot to insert a slide. This is the Cable Release Park slide. Scout still leads the way

    A better view of the chuck box in the back of the ‘62. I think all of these are from September of ‘66. Imogene pass Scout at the top of Engineer mountain. The description on the slide says it all. And now the story. You will notice the meadow is labeled “Cable Release Park”. This is a...

    Will the Scout EREV be obsolete by the time it gets here in 2027/28?

    Take this guy’s prognostications with a salt shaker. He was more interesting before he had an accident with his Lightening where the insurance company totaled the car and Ford discontinued said truck. Of his three “truths”, #2 may have the greater impact. #1 SSB’s around the corner (“…I’m from...

    76.3” on the Traveler. 77.7” on the Terra.

    Scout Concepts in Seattle, Washington, May 9, 2026

    I believe the Scout Motors web page gives the height dimensions as something like 76” to 78” in the drawing. Which doesn’t seem to include a rack.

    That may have been something from TFL recently. Scout is part of Volkswagen AG (Germany) but not part of Volkswagen of America.

    Shopping for a “new” BEV while waiting for the Scout Traveler BEV.

    Some how ‘Ionic’ and ‘offroad’ just don’t seem to go together.

    The idea of NOT being an early adopter has been part of my thinking. I’m trying to be clear-eyed too. We shall see.

    Off-topic stuff…

    I absolutely would have one of these. With Hellcat power. Not a purple guy but the color works here.
