  • 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.

    Another idea- Modular frame suspension unit

    My boat trailer has a subframe that can be moved forward or back to different holes to change the wheebase. You could use the same frame for SUV and pickup with sliding rear section for different wheelbase even 2 dr.

    Scout Motors - who are your competitors?

    True, here is Jeeps concept. I do like the roll cage and removable doors. Looks like it'll be a race that Scout will come in first! https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1131654_fully-electric-jeep-wrangler-concept-explores-brand-s-off-road-ev-identity

    Scout Motors - who are your competitors?

    This will be Scout's main competitor until Jeep comes out with an electric Wrangler. https://www.hotcars.com/electric-ford-bronco-preview/

    Scout Design Ideas

    New Bronco 2 dr sales are up to 40% now. Think of 40% more sales with a 2 dr. It could use the same front doors as the 4 door versions.

    Scout Design Ideas

    I like the pillarless 4 door like the Lincoln with tubular roll cage! There would be nothing like it anywhere. I also would prefer a 2 dr. Removable top for pickup and SUV.

    Battery Range Solution

    Speaking of range, the Ford Lightning has been getting a lot of flak for it's short towing and cold weather range being less than half it's advertised range.

    Plug Type

    Just have an adapter and either way you could use any charger.

    Scout Motors - who are your competitors?

    I think the main competitors for the suv/utility vehicle would be the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler. The pickup would be the Jeep Gladiator, Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma, GM Colorado and Canyon. Wheel base around 118" for SUV and around 130" with 5' box for the pickup. Scout has a head start as...

    Regional editions

    Like Ford did with the Torino in the Early 70's. Northwest Edition/green with white rally stripes and emblem. Rocky Mt edition, Southwest desert, New England and Southern. Maybe 1000 of each. Just an idea.

    Buttons vs screens

    All the techstuff is fine for optional equipment. I'd want a base model with just knobs, maybe a backup screen.

    Grille idea

    Similar to these 70 800's blacked out grilles for the base model. Chrome Scout logo in center. SSII grille as an option.
