  • 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.

    Yep, instead we keep getting bigger, more expensive trucks.

    Indeed my e30 has a ZF, all my wife’s X5s have had them, a former 2014 Grand Cherokee had one and am quite a few construction machines I deal with have ZF components.

    ZF is a great company. I’ve had many vehicles with their components and all have been top notch.

    I hope it’s Dana just for historical reasons.

    Size comparison

    I’m a big fan of small, last-mile delivery vehicles. We desperately need them in downtown Charleston. Instead we have more tourists than ever and tractor trailer delivery trucks on European city size streets.

    Resale Value/Depreciation

    Interesting. Those are from the reveal. I see yours truly in the background of o e of the photos. I still do not want to post my similar pics because they look very unfinished and some of the suspension components look very temporary.

    Resale Value/Depreciation

    Now you have me thinking philosophically. Original Scouts were either used up and rusted back into the earth, or they are like coveted family heirlooms. They were not just a means of conveyance. Maybe Scout should push that narrative. If people hold on to them, that adds value. I sure miss...

    Resale Value/Depreciation

    Ouch. There must be a better way. Future proofing with software certainly helps. I’m sure there will be attractive leases. I’m more of purchase kinda person. If it’s great I will keep it a long time. If I don’t like it, I won’t. It would be nice to not have the deprecation fall off a...

    That’s a great idea. My family would use it while in the Scout.
