  • 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.

    Cost and Ease to Repair/Maintain the Traveler and Terra

    Yeah no, the winch sounds like a terrible idea, I came up with the idea access panel for service thinking of old vans/ trucks that have access panels to the engine from inside the cabin so doing something similar for harvester access seemed like a simple but good solution if the harvester is...

    Cost and Ease to Repair/Maintain the Traveler and Terra

    I think I mentioned it a while back in another thread, but I am hoping that changing the oil on the harvester range extender is not an engine out job and I suggested to maybe make a sealed flap under the trunk floor that is locked or can only open from inside in the traveler and under part of...

    Make it run on low octane (aka cheaper gas)

    Yes definitely, that is one of the reasons why I will not by a new Toyota Land Cruiser since it requires premium gas for some reason. I do not want to give up the ability to buy regular since I am used to it in my Wrangler V6

    The Road to Scout Production - All the latest updates in one place...

    Interior design on new Jeep, Wagoneer, Dodge, and Rams if you have been in a relatively recent one are good it is just everything else that is not good. I am just thinking of current Wrangler interior look wise is good just lack of options is bad but that is not up to the interior designer.

    Scout Color Poll #1

    I would like to get this for my Wrangler also, but I am not in the mood to buy this and then spend $1200 at the dealer for them to fix the roof seals again since every time I remove the roof the seals start leaking 1-2 weeks after.

    Scout Color Poll #1

    I would not get the Skyactive roof I just see it breaking and having leak issues. I already have enough on my hard top so much that I do not take the roof panels off anymore since I am out of factory warranty, and every time I have taken the top off the seals start to leak 1-2 weeks later and...

    Scout concepts on Jay Leno’s Garage

    When they mentioned the 5k towing with the Harvester he was talking about the Traveller, I don't think he meant for both so I would expect the Terra with the Harvester to have more towing then the Traveller with the Harvester. I think it needs to be clarified more in the future and it will...

    What do you love or hate about other off-road vehicles

    The main thing I do not like about my Wrangler is the ride and lack of steering feel/ drifting all over a lane. Though, Scout is already going to be better just from having independent suspension. Also, I do like to have the ability to work on the Jeep if I want to so if I wanted to change the...

    Potato Chip Flavors?

    Probably Sweet and Spicy Chili Doritos for me, (the purple bag ones)

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    I still think it will be an existing engine design like the VW 4 cylinders currently made in Mexico, but either they will be built in South Carolina at the main factory or somewhere in the US to avoid any possible issues from tariffs etc. Also would like it to have port injection but I only know...

    Swore I’d never buy an EV, then Scout happened

    There better be Bidirectional charging on the small battery because it seems that is what you are getting if you get the harvester, and I would to want to run it like a generator to either run things or charge other EVs if needed.

    Any chance on flat four?

    Not sure on that if it gets upped to a possible 50% tariff, I saw that floating around as a possibility.

    Future Opportunities

    It doesn't really for me that much also, I just can put some money aside to rent a place for the 3 months for the internship since it is more for me to try to get my foot in the door and add to my resume then an actual money-making position since it is only for the summer anyway. Though, I have...

    Any chance on flat four?

    What very little I could find is they make Navistar truck engines there and no small 4 cyl engines, so whatever the 4 cylinder engine is, it is probably going to have to be made in the SC factory. While doing a quick search I do not think VW makes any engines for passenger vehicles in the US, I...

    Any chance on flat four?

    Yes ok, but I mean there are not any at least in cars being sold in the US currently, because if it is not already for automotive use it is likely it is going to have to reworked in some way for on-road regulations, emissions, etc. I am thinking that if Scout can have existing engine from...

    Scouting the Road Ahead With Scout Motors President and CEO Scott Keogh

    I was not sure, thanks I prefer no turbo to maybe help reliability

    Any chance on flat four?

    I agree but I think that is the most likely scenario if a flat four was going to be used.
