  • 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.

    Instead of separate box for pickup

    Bronco board 62% 4 door 38% 2 door. Forgot to put almost before 40%. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/so-who-thinks-2-door-bronco-sales-will-be-a-bigger-percentage-than-2-door-wrangler-sales.2438/

    Instead of separate box for pickup

    You should make one version with different tops like Traveler/Terra pickup. Maybe 124" wheelbase because of the 4 doors. Then come out with the 2 door version that most here want. New Bronco 2 door is almost 40% of sales. It could be the same as the pickup from front door forward but on 100"...

    Recessed grille and tail lights

    I think it would look good to have the grille recessed like the early Scout's. 77-79 Scout II grille and Scout II tail lights recessed also.

    LED Lighting for the New Scout EV Vehicle

    How about these H4 headlights meant to modernize old sealed beams, you can get H4 replacement LED's. Good retro look!

    So what does everyone think of the first new Scout designs...

    More bobtailed like the early Scout. Too much rear overhang on the Scout II.

    Proportions

    I think most of the renderings have the body too tall and the windows too short. What are the dimensions of a Scout 800 and Scout II from bottom of rocker to bottom of window? Window top to bottom? I think the windshield angle is different on Scout 800 than Scout II.

    Chrome trim package

    Jamie, Thanks for the response! I was thinking you could do body color on the door and tailgate handles and the option of chrome or black covers like on my F150. There are aftermarket mirror covers also.

    Chrome trim package

    You could have a Deluxe version or chrome package. Mirror covers, door and tailgate handles. Chrome side trim like the picture below. Silver bumpers.

    Top has to be white

    Removable white hardtop. Ragtop can be black.

    Bumpers and rock guard running boards

    How about powder coated steel bumpers and rock guard running boards stock. I hate the newer plastic and rubber coated newer bumpers.

    Rims and Tires

    I like the steely version on this rendering only smaller 17", 7" wide with 245 75 17 tires in Anthracite/gunmetal gray. On the bare bones base model.

    Transfer Case

    Manual hubs at all 4 wheels for flat towing. I hope they do 2 motor solid axle front and rear. Wavetrac limited slip front and rear. What differential gear ratio would be optimal? http://wavetrac.net/
