  • 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.

    Spare tire discussion

    Same here and I agree. I’d be looking for 35 or 37 inch tires or larger. I’m hoping the design team will make this possible because I will be taking the low center of gravity of approach; I’d like the smallest lift (or no lift, depending how things work out) with the biggest tire possible in...

    Welcome and Introductions!

    Right on! There’s tons of Traveler info on here if you search around. I’m still finding new things every day. Check it out and don’t hesitate to ask questions when they come up.

    Welcome and Introductions!

    Welcome to the forum! Congrats on the reservation - that’ll be an awesome duo with that beautiful ’72. Do you think you’ll go with a Traveler or Terra?

    Blind Spot Turn Signal Camera Displayed in Instrument Cluster

    I agree. Can be very useful while driving, especially off road.

    New Scout Video - Forging the Future Episode 1

    I’m seeing those lighted door handles at the 1:42 mark. I dig it!

    New Scout Video - Forging the Future Episode 1

    Oh man, I really love getting these behind the scenes glimpses!! Definitely gets me fired up when I hear those on the Scout Motors team talking about heritage, enthusiasts, community, and customizing! This is all right up my alley.

    Tailgate paint option

    Agreed. More rugged from the factory would be a huge benefit. Tailgates can unfortunately take a beating on vehicles that get used - even when you’re being careful.

    Tailgate paint option

    I really hadn’t thought about it or noticed it, so I guess it doesn’t bother me as-is. Although I haven’t seen them in person which can make a big difference. It could depend on how a person is going to use the vehicle as to which way they’d prefer it. It could be different on city trims...

    Scout Color Poll #1

    I would like to ask for an option to have non-painted mirrors, please. The mirrors on my vehicles always end up with trail scratches (from bushes, trees, etc.) on them and the scratches are much worse to deal with/hide on painted mirrors.

    Arizona - Sonora Desert Scouts

    My thoughts exactly. I have had spring and summer experiences in a Tesla Model Y and the roof shade needed to be in 100% of the time because of the heat in the frequent sunshine. Seemed pointless to even have the glass roof “feature” since it was always covered. Obviously if you don’t live in...

    Well Placed Ads

    We all know that well placed ads can be quite effective and from my perspective it appears Scout Motors may be making some good choices. Up to this point I have not come across a Scout ad without deliberately seeking it out on my own. However, this morning I was reading an article about the...

    Spare tire carrier - other locations?

    I agree. I’ve never heard of it, but the thought popped into my mind due to the discussion. I wouldn’t have come up with any concerns with an interior mount on my own, but this thread got me thinking about collisions and if there’s a concern with a frunk mounted spare coming through the...

    Accessories Poll For Scouts

    I completely agree. After having Jeep all-weather mats, I was definitely shocked at how thin Ford made the Bronco version. I suppose they still work, but they’re thin enough that they don’t always stay conformed to the curves they were intended to hug. I’d vote for a Scout version to be able...

    Welcome and Introductions!

    Glad to have you here Joey - welcome! Sorry to hear you had to wait so long for the Bronco. I’ve heard sooo many Bronco stories like that. I’m looking forward to a smoother launch from Scout Motors.

    Spare tire carrier - other locations?

    I got to thinking…a rear cargo area mounted spare tire would be in danger of breaking loose and becoming a missile during a front-end collision as well, no? The only difference being it’s coming at the back of your head and it’s already inside the vehicle. Would just need to make sure that cargo...

    What 16 Metro's Will Scout Launch?

    Sounds like one heck of a good time to me!!

    Off-Road EV

    Yeah I believe the RTI ramps have usually been in the 15 to 30 degree range throughout the years depending on vehicles being tested, with Car and Driver using a 20 degree ramp to test stock vehicles. 32 degrees is a pretty aggressive ramp for sure.

    Off-Road EV

    Absolutely, yes! I completely agree. I’ve followed their testing for many vehicles in the past and that is definitely one of the particular tests I key in on the most.

    Battery Life in Winter

    Thank you for the real-world feedback. This is very helpful. (y)

    How much?

    That’ll buff out.
