  • 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.

    I'd argue Jeep has a market for the Wagoneer S, had they executed it well. I love my Wrangler for it's styling and it's off road ability. I love putting the top down and taking the doors off. I bought it 19 years ago when I was 24 and now at 43, I still smile driving it. I also love my Grand...

    Financing Options

    Interest rate is something that I'm concerned about also. I am putting a bit away here and there to help finance as little as possible, but with my expected price of around $80k +, I highly doubt I'll be able to pay cash for my Traveler. I've only bought 3 vehicles in my life and all 3 were...

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    I have not received the email yet. I'm pretty good about checking my spam folder and haven't noticed anything there either. Last week, after this thread started, I logged in to check my account. My address was already present from when I made my reservation. I did not get a prompt to add it...

    Jeep Recon

    Meh. I offroad my Jeep. I take my doors off. Sometimes I offroad my Jeep with the doors off.

    Ev Delay

    Another thought, wouldn't the spare tire have an effect as well? A 35 inch tire plus the carrier would probably weigh 100+ pounds and it sits further back than the harvester would.

    Thanksgiving Recipes

    Two years ago when I was struggling to get through that year's turkey, I honestly considered getting the garden loppers :LOL:

    Get some good quality shears. I had done plenty of chickens and never had a problem, but damn was it hard to cut through those turkey bones 😂

    Thanksgiving Recipes

    Depends on temperature. I have heat defectors in so there is no direct heat cooking the bottom of the turkey. My grill essentially works like an oven in that set up. The picture I posted was a 16 pound turkey. At 350-400, it took 2 hours. I chose that temp for crispier skin vs lower temp for...

    Ev Delay

    How would a weight distribution hitch change this? I have a 2016 Grand Cherokee, which has a 6000 pound tow rating. Above a certain trailer weight (I forget the exact number, but let's say 4000), I have to use a weight distribution hitch. Could Scout make the same requirement in order to get the...

    Become A Scout Wayfinder

    Ha. That was my first thought also.

    Thanksgiving Recipes

    That looks really good. I can't help much with recipes. I'm in charge of the turkey and guests bring the sides and desserts. For the turkey, I spatchcock and then brine overnight. Lump charcoal with apple and pecan wood chunks cooked at 350-400. Turns out great.

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    Well I decided to update my reservation to BEV this morning as that is the way I am leaning given the information Scout has put out so far. The 5k towing capacity is a deal breaker on the EREV. If that number comes up to 6k or better, I'll reevaluate in a few years.

    Another comparison of the Kia and the Traveler. Look at the console design, especially the storage at the floor board.

    New Kia looks eerily similar to the Scout.

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    My answer is a page or 2 back, but I forgot to mention towing. I've said it elsewhere on the forum, but it's wort mentioning again on this thread. My original reason for reserving the EREV was towing my Jeep. Nearest offroad spot to me is about 230 miles away. I have zero trouble with the idea...

    PBY (Pale Butter Yellow)

    Not what I'd buy personally, but I think that's a great color.

    Is there anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    I'm sitting firmly on the fence at the moment. My reservation is for Traveler EREV, but I'm currently leaning BEV. I should probably change my reservation, but I honestly don't think I'll make a decision one way or the other until right up to the moment I order. I don't see incentives like a...

    I like it personally. Thanks for sharing. That said, $50k just for the deposit. Guess I'm out 😂

    Industry-leading DCFC charge rate and battery warranty

    Appreciate the reply. My 0 to 100 was more hypothetical for the question than an assumption that it would ever happen. I agree that 25 minutes would hardly add any time once you walk inside, go to the bathroom, and maybe order some food. At Wawa or Buc-ee's, the vehicle would probably be ready...

    Industry-leading DCFC charge rate and battery warranty

    Good post as always. Not being an EV owner, I'd appreciate if you could expand on the charge rate. Let's say I take my BEV Scout on a road trip and I need to charge from 0 to 100% while on the road. Approximately how long would that charge take (at an estimated battery pack size) at 200 or 250...
