  • 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.

    Learn from the Bronco

    They got a lot right, but I don't like the flares sticking straight out or the front tie downs. I think it needs a grill surround and what's the deal with the bar on the headlights.

    has to be retro

    VW got the new Beetle right. Also the 2005 Mustang and 2008 Challenger captured the Retro look, The new VW bus looks like they borrowed their SUV headlights. The Scout needs round headlights and wheelwells. You could superimpose a scout 800 and Scout II to get the proportions right. I personally...

    AI - Scout Concepts

    Here is an off the wall idea: This AI rendering has woodgrain. I'm thinking kinda like the Jeep wagoneer.

    Like, but windows and top need to be taller and blind spot smaller.

    Running boards/Step rails-what’s everybody’s preference?

    I like the rock slider step on the 80 Scout II that Scout Motors owns.

    Create a pickup section of the Forum

    I think the pickup and SUV should be the same vehicle with different tops like the Traveler and Terra pickup.

    Autoevolution Article

    Looks too long and needs round headlights and wheel wells.

    Scout II style window shape

    The early renders had a huge blind spot at the rear window. Something more subtle would look better and have better visibility. Like this Toyota Tacoma rear door:

    AI - Scout Concepts

    I think the Bronco looks more like a Scout. The Scout was first!

    Removable hardtop

    An idea for removable hardtop. 2 piece with rear piece similar to this Isuzu Amigo hardtop. Front piece just a roof over the 4 doors attached to the windshield frame.
