  • 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.

    Loaded Traveler with Harvester?

    I'm with you. I'm still excited and it's still the only vehicle I'm truly interested in so I'm going to wait and hope. Our last vehicle purchase was in 2019. $50k would be more than my wife and I have ever paid. $60k seems like a luxury that we would never think of. The fact that I'm even...

    Loaded Traveler with Harvester?

    With the Recon optioning out above $75k and the Range Rover EV starting at $140k (First Edition at $179k), I am honestly getting more and more worried that the Scout will price out of my range. I just priced an R1S at $130k. To the OP, I'd guess your build at $85-90k based on what Scout has...

    Scout "Base" by LastDayScout

    I prefer the body color look. I'm not sure it would look right being all body color and I'm not a huge fan of the all black. The way yours integrates the two looks it really nice.

    Nicely done. I really like what you did with the rear end.

    New Scout Traveler Concept Added - Mountainside Theme

    I really like this theme and it's likely closer to how I would outfit it than the offroad theme. I have my 2006 Wrangler LJ for my offroad needs so my Traveler will be for around town and hopefully for towing the LJ to the trails. I've been wanting to see a version without the tire carrier...

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

    Wrangler comes with the plate off to the side. It tends to get ripped off by rocks or trees so a lot of people move it to the spare tire after adding corner armor. The new tail lights also extend out to the side and it's fairly popular to change those out to something flush mount. All said...

    Spare Tire

    Another thought more related to the topic of the thread. My wife and I have 3 vehicles all technically from the same manufacturer. Each one has a different philosophy with spare tires. - 2006 Jeep Wrangler. Full size spare tire with matching wheel. Matching is deemed important because the spare...

    Spare Tire

    This is an interesting discussion and I think it shows just how much difference there is in the wants and needs of individual buyers. Not just with spare tires, but also with every other option in a vehicle. Ultimately, I think the manufacturer needs to look at what they perceive the vehicle to...

    Spare Tire

    I'd be really curious how many people who get the tire carrier could actually lift the tire on or off the vehicle. 35s are heavy. I'm 44 and am in pretty good shape. Getting the 35 up to the back of my Wrangler is a challenge.

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    I am. When they painted the Traveler white, they surely did so knowing they would be doing the "Spirit of '26". Revealing it without the stripes and then with the stripes allowed for 2 reveals. Really smart marketing move.

    Lexus RZ chronicals-by my wife

    There is exactly zero chance that I will plug my car in more than twice a week. Ideally, even with a 350 mile range, it would only be once a week. I hope Scout does a better job designing the electrical system.

    CYURE GOES TO SC!! 8/22/2026

    The timing of the new reveals has been strategic. The white was a surprise, but it allowed for a quick turn around with the 250 anniversary edition. Scout obviously knew both were coming and took advantage of revealing the white as a stand alone, while it was really just half way finished. Not...

    Carplay unconfirmed?!

    Wife and I have 2 main vehicles, 1 with and 1 without Carplay. No matter which one I drive, I plug in for streaming music from my phone. I used to use Amazon Music, but now it's Apple Music. Either app works fine in either vehicle. I can't stand the navigation in either vehicle. That's where...

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    There's a mod for the JK headrest that reverses the forward rake. Not sure exactly what's involved, but didn't seem too overly complicated from I've seen on the forums over the years.

    R2 Launch Watch

    I used to drive Philly to Virginia Beach often. The trouble on the trip southbound is that the last 21 miles is on the bridge tunnel. I bought my Wrangler while I still lived in Philly and I never attempted to get all the way home to the beach without stopping at that last gas station before the...

    R2 Launch Watch

    I take it you aren't the kind of person to wait for the gas light before filling up? On both our Grand Cherokee and Pacifica, the range goes to "low" below 30 miles. My goal is to drive another 10-15 before filling up. I know the size of both gas tanks and even with the extra driving, I almost...

    R2 Launch Watch

    That seems pretty disappointing. The comments are pretty consistent as well.

    BMW iX3 and iX5 range

    Also remember that the expected battery size of the BEV is 120-130 kWh. So everything stated by others above is true (Scout is heavier and less aerodynamic) while also having a smaller battery. I would love for them to hit 400 miles, but I've read enough posts around here to be somewhat...
