  • 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.

    Scout Concepts in Seattle, Washington, May 9, 2026

    This is one of the only reasons I want an adjustable suspension on the Scout. I know air suspension isn't ideal for serious off-roading but I love having the ability to raise or lower the height of my R1T should want/need to.

    6'5" with the roof rack is monstrous....I love it! However that is going be a challenge accessing the rack but worth the sacrifice IMO.

    First off, thank you all for the reviews from your experiences. It's been really interesting to hear how different the opinions are from one person to the next. For me personally I want my Scout as wide and tall as I can get it because I live in suburbia and rarely ever go to the city. In fact...

    Why I'm Cancelling My R2 Reservation

    So I went to the R2 Block Party today in Atlanta. First thing I will say is there were A LOT of people interested in the R2. We waited for 45 mins to sit in the car, but Rivian did an awesome job of having 3 R2's available to explore and they would mix up the lines as you came in, you would go...

    Scout Color Poll #1

    If Scout was planning on coming out with this type of removal top and roll bar setup they wouldn't be able to make them fast enough! :love: Additionally I think one thing that the Scout community has made crystal clear is the request for more color choices. Surely we'll get a couple to choose...

    Hope you get to drive the Trailseeker while you're at Subaru.

    Yeah I wouldn't trust Blue Cruise, or Super Cruise, but I trust the Rivian system and use it daily in my Rivian on my highway commute (roughly 30 miles continuously one way), but when I had my Tesla I used FSD to drive from Atlanta GA, to Norfolk VA, (over a 9 hr trip with charging stops) and...

    This is actually becoming more common, and a few companies are venturing into a subscription service. Granted most of lower budget cars, but believe it or not Porsche offers one that is actually quite impressive if your pockets are deep enough that is...

    Makes sense, but when I need to fumble with the phone or when using the big touch screen I just put on the self drive system, and let the computers do the work lol!

    True the Hummer is just ridiculous in pretty much every way but its looks like a beast, is a lot of fun to drive with the tops out, rear window down, and its hilarious how much it squats on acceleration. Other than the fun factor it serves little to no purpose, but boy do you see a lot of them...

    Hey I just realized the Hummer EV didn't make the list. I know its huge, but it is surprisingly easy to drive thanks to the rear steer. It has tons of storage, all the physical buttons you need, switches on the side of the driver seat, a key fob, but no car play/android auto. Was it ever a...

    Tbh I believe that one of the best use cases for FSD and the Rivian Autonomy platform is to help seniors be able to safely drive for a longer period of time without additional risks.

    Gotta say I'm impressed with this write up. With this level of detail you should seriously consider being a car reviewer on YT. Really well done. What I will say though is this is one of the most difficult things for car makers to overcome. As comprehensive as you write up was, being a current...

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

    I have an early R2 reservation but I'm thinking about watching what the market does and potentially flipping it. However, if any of my "friends" want to buy it or spec it for themselves I'd be willing to lessen my commission on it a bit lol!

    Cool. Given your long term ownership with Mustang, it will be interesting to hear your review of it. Please do share once you drive it.

    Have you driven a Trailseeker yet? It sounds like that could be a very strong contender to meet most of your preferences. I believe the charging was largely improved as well, but I think the UX leaves a bit to be desired.

    I know you feel that way, you've made it very clear your preference for buttons lol, but I really do feel that given extended time in a Rivian you would quickly adapt to it. Have you considered getting one on Turo for the weekend or try continuously for a few days? I use to suggest this to...

    Rivian does have Audible, Spotify, Apple music, and with Rivian Assistant coming soon, we will HOPEFULLY be able to voice text and have messages read.
