  • 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.

    Anyone notice if R2 kept the rear air vents on the front wheel wells?

    Let's get Scout there too: Rivian has been recognized on TIME's "America’s Best Companies" list for 2026. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rivian-adventurousforever-share-7481020652842270720-9MnC/

    Will the Scout EREV be obsolete by the time it gets here in 2027/28?

    Yes, I remember him saying that, and makes sense given how they look. I'm not rock crawling so no interest in massive wheels. My use is mixed with pavement, dirt, class IV, beach, soft sand, and lots of snow. I will have two sets of wheels and tires - one for winter and one for summer, and will...

    Modular add-ons

    Yes - I think that Scout already made a claim that the Terra would come with the roll-down. It's actually a big selling point to a lot of reservation holders too. I doubt they would produce the Terra with optional rear roll-down. That would not be good.

    Will the Scout EREV be obsolete by the time it gets here in 2027/28?

    I think the 37's look way to big and will be WAAY too inefficient. They appear to balloon-out and blow away all the space in the wheel-well (at least thats how they appear to me). I'm probably in the 33 A/T's camp too.

    Real Bench Seat

    That is a "pre-production" version of the bench seat - I don't think that is what we will be getting. I'm guessing there will be a lot more people looking for "fold-down / console version" in the center that we see in most pick-ups with bench seats today, which is more like a 60/40 split...

    Aftermarket ultra-light truck bed cap differentiator

    Primarily due to the separate movement that can be created between the cab and the cap. With NVH creating friction and wearing away paint at the gasket, you would wind up with a rust and paint issue.

    That was so YOU didn't put YOUR toddler in the bucket, Jeff! LOL.

    What's the current timeline??

    ... And, when you are able to integrate battery modules neatly between the 2 rails you transform that ladder into a "Skateboard" with a low center of gravity, a rigid structure and a clean-slate above it, you realize massive space savings:

    Planned obsolescence and lasting a lifetime

    Also, just because you have a nice big screen doesn't mean that EVERYTHING is controlled through the infotainment screen

    Phone cooler

    Ah, so sounds like this is an issue when wireless charging and leaving your phone in the sun mostly? I guess I just move my phone out of the sun and plug it in and don't worry about it. I could see that being more problematic without a charging cable though.

    Phone cooler

    I'm having a hard time with this one... When my phone overheats, it just shuts down to remain in a safe state. But when that happens, the phone temp must exceed 95 degrees F. So, are we sitting around in our cars at 95 degrees without the AC running for some reason? Trying to sort through the...

    Please no erev!

    I wonder if people have seriously gotten so numb in the brain to think that the energy requirements would be equivalent for towing. Sad state of affairs if this is the case - sign of the times, I guess, but WOW... I would prefer to have more faith in humanity - maybe its just a Dodge thing.

    Shopping for a “new” BEV while waiting for the Scout Traveler BEV.

    Totally get that - but also important to keep in mind that many of the HW items are also used for safety and convenience features (in isolation from FSD also). Things like back up warning, cross traffic, emergency stopping, alarms, etc. We live in a free market society where OEM's need to make...

    R2 Launch Watch

    Yes, it often does appear smaller when lowered. The real difference to me (after sitting inside a Ford or other full sized p/u like my old Silverado crew cab) is the space in the second row and overall passenger cabin square footage. I have no complaints about the space in my truck, but...

    Please no erev!

    Yes, agreed, this might be what Space EV was talking about when it comes to driving style. His numbers are great in his example, but his average speed to achieve those numbers was just a tick under 60MPH over 4 hours and 17 minutes. Its acheivable, but I am being realistic with myself and my...

    Please no erev!

    You're range numbers will be quite excellent when driving under 60MPH The problem (for me) is driving under 60MPH for long distances That is when I usually want go a little faster ARGH!

    R2 Launch Watch

    Terra will feel much more like a lightening than the R1T when it comes to dims, interior space and bed length.

    We own EVs. Ask Us Anything.

    Stihl guy here (long-time MS311 owner). Came in quite handy for a rando tornado that blew through our backyard once and took out a bunch of Pines. Works great for cutting firewood from blowdowns. Would def replace with electric based on my needs now, but hard to kill this thing.
