  • 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.

    I'd fix the dents, treat the body with PHOS (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klean-Strip-1-Gal-Concrete-Etch-Metal-Prep-and-Rust-Inhibitor-Outdoor-Cleaner-GKPA30220/100406369) Then let it re-flash, xylene wipe... then go straight to KBS Diamond Clear...

    Old vs new Scout Site?

    ^^^ Was ist mit dem deutschen Anhang? Ich dachte, Sie tun so, als wäre das NICHT direkt VW? Seltsam... aber nicht überraschend. Jamie, fahr Moby!!

    Old vs new Scout Site?

    BP is a little heavy handed with admins that think they walk on water, but the archives do hide most info ever needed, usually posted by "banned" members... but the Scout's West FB page is awesome, and generally free of most of the scammers that are rampant everywhere these days. That said...

    Old vs new Scout Site?

    There were 2 "Scout Motors" groups created on FB by scammers... it was likely those... I flagged and had them booted. Note this "Jason" was using Scott's image as himself... And his clown Canadian buddy Jacob was not that much sharper...

    This article get you thinking about Ev

    What about mostly spent uranium pellets? I figure one or two of those could keep you running for a million miles or so, before recharge is needed.

    This article get you thinking about Ev

    My 345 powered Scout has gotten up to 45 mpg... of course that was just from Mammoth Lakes to Bishop, down hill, mostly coasting.

    Oh the irony... as VW blast the world with the new TURBO GAS Atlas.... https://www.vw.com/en/models/atlas.html You'd think if they were going to walk and talk the walk... it would start there.

    Jeep's Design Leader heads to Scout Motors

    I hope he lets GO of the 'jeep guy' stuff and realizes that is the very direction that would make the new Scout wrong. Chris B... you DRIVING a Scout yet? Any head of team / head of design NOT driving one... is not getting the right influences.
