  • 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 Factory Extended Warranty?? Can you Beat Ford ????

    Warranty Considerations

    There's a major ramp... From Gen 1 to Gen 2 - especially for a new OEM. Luckily Scout has the backing of VW & Rivian's Zonal stuff to help flatten that curve.

    Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

    And. Just. Like. That... PURE BEV TERRA UP TO 9.5%!!! 🏒

    Warranty Considerations

    Let's be clear - any OEM not selling an extended warranty is missing out financially based on how these plans are structured. They are now sold for one financial reason - to drive profit margins. Psychologically, they may also provide "peace of mind". These extended warranties directly benefit...

    Warranty Considerations

    As mentioned on your other thread - that is an extended warranty plan you must OPT INTO AND PAY FOR. That is not FORD's standard warranty!

    Scout Factory Extended Warranty?? Can you Beat Ford ????

    I think its important to note that this "Warty" you reference is NOT A FORD STANDARD WARRANTY - but rather an extended "WARRANTY" plan you must purchase. It is widely acknowledged that many extended warranty offers are excellent revenue generators for the OEM, but not so great for the consumer...

    Scout Factory Extended Warranty?? Can you Beat Ford ????

    My old boss had a life-time warranty on his mini-van. He hit a deer with it and took it around to insurance adjusters to get it repaired and REFUSED to have it get totaled! His plan was to keep it for life. I would do the same with that Jeep. Just don't hit a deer!

    Scout's comin' to Cambridge...Wicked pissah!

    Indeed! That was what prompted my link to that one. Thank you Scoutsie (I think). LOL.

    Scout's comin' to Cambridge...Wicked pissah!

    OK, so if you haven't seen it before (and don't mind a few F-BOMBS) this will show you the true height of the Boston accent, with bonus chowdah head commentary from Jay and the "Baby Wheel". You literally can't make this shit up. If you have spent any time on the water in New England (which...

    Rivian R2 Experiences

    I think its in here toward the second to last page (if its a Rockwood): https://community.scoutmotors.com/threads/road-tripping-in-a-truck-like-the-terra-f-150-lightning-silverado.1306/page-23

    Road tripping in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning; Silverado)?

    So, I'm guessing you have been to Moe's Tavern (based purely on your launch point).

    Road tripping in a truck like the Terra (F-150 Lightning; Silverado)?

    Not too mention all the extra space and storage you get in the R1T, less maintenance and better performance. I will not be surprised if your ownership of the R1T might send you to the pure BEV Terra too. Selfishly just trying to get more than 10% on the reservation thread for the pure BEV Terra...

    Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

    Pure BEV TERRA is up to 9.4%? WUT>>>>??? People better start getting in line for a BEV TERRA, b/c if this keeps up they will be rolling off the line concurrently with the first Harvesters!!! That was The Partridge Family's "Doesn't Somebody Want to be Wanted?", followed by Edison Lighthouse's...

    Rivian R2 Experiences

    I was just going to respond with this. It's amazing how much functionality Rivian drives through the app, and they clearly want it this way. It is EXTREMELY convenient. I find some things like service records harder to pull, but they drive you into the app for all service requests, uploading...

    R2 Launch Watch

    Totally agree, but the front end actually grew on me one night when another R1T came up behind my truck and I saw what it looked like all lit up in the dark through my rear-view mirror. Rivian completely accomplished what they wanted with an unparralelled and distinctive look, but its clearly...

    R2 Launch Watch

    One topic I will cover soon (related to Rivian) will be the ownership experience "post-warranty" for an early reservation holder, and why Scout has a tremendous advantage being a fast-follower. I give Rivian a TON of credit for taking pole position with the launch of the first EV trucks and...

    Watermark Preference

    I'm not a lawyer, but I'm guessing that there are very serious infringement violations if / when another forum, site or web property FACILITATES the infringement that is occurring, or allows it to happen. In other words, there is real responsibility for whoever is hosting the other site. I have...

    July 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update

    Seeing my R1T roll up to my house and pull into my driveway was special enough for me. I didn't need or want anything else at that point, except to drive it! (and seeing my old truck get driven-away by the delivery team, after they confirmed all of my trade-in details). It was all pretty...
