  • 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.

    Check Engine - Needs to go away

    Check engine lights have an opportunity to get way smarter and totally disappear IMHO. AI is going to drive this evolution with the Check Engine light, including the scanner tools to determine what caused the check engine light to light up. It should all be in the infotainment system, all the...

    Self Healing Systems -> Scout Opportunity

    Minimizing complexity

    Curious: if one of Scout's goals is to help minimize complexity, reduce failure points, improve long-term reliability, and make the Scout easier to repair, many modern features could be simplified or eliminated to help keep costs down. What would be your ideas on this topic? Examples include -...

Sure would be nice is the headliner of the Scout could support velcro patches. A great example, if you are familiar, 5.11 usually has a patch a month club and gives...

    Could we see Fusion5 Glass in the Scouts?

    Looks like Corning is working on a new tougher automotive glass called Fusion5. Wonder if we will see this in the Scout product line. As an offroader, it sure stings when a windshield is cracked by all kinds of items.

    Would be nice - innovation

    Would love to see a day when I could control the Scout from outside with an app so I could control precise rock crawling or recovery situations. In addition, how about retractable rock sliders?
