  • 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.

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    I think I agree. Batteries are so heavy. I do like the idea of trailers with batteries and motor on them so they propel themselves along with the vehicle. That seems worth it to me. But definitely, at a point, charging speed becomes more important than range.

    Top Five Accessories For The New Scout

    I'm liking these suggestions! Some of these seem to me like vehicle features and some are accessories. @Bryan@ScoutMotors how do you differentiate between an accessory and something that's just part of the vehicle design?

    Top Five Accessories For The New Scout

    Welcome, @Bryan@ScoutMotors! Some of these ideas are making assumptions about what the vehicle will be capable of, but here are my top five accessories: Roof cross rails Vehicle to load adapter Customizable cargo organizer (either for under the false floor or for the frunk) so I can organize...

    Should Scout adopt the NACS (Tesla) charging system

    Good question. This is a reference to what Ford CEO Jim Farley has said: "Charging plugs break. Tesla's plug is excellent, by the way, doesn't break if you drop it."

    Should Scout adopt the NACS (Tesla) charging system

    I like the different inputs here. And I agree that Ford needs to clarify their plan. It will definitely be interesting to see how it shakes out. I've been in media for a long time and have seen several standards wars come and go. I remember when Blu-ray Discs vs HD-DVD was a hot topic. RIP HD-DVD.

    Learn from the Bronco

    I think the world needs smaller vehicles in general. So this would be great. I canceled my R1S pre-order because I realized it was way more vehicle than I really needed even though it's amazing. The Ford Maverick is killing it because there is still demand for the small but utility-focused...

    Should Scout adopt the NACS (Tesla) charging system

    Ford recently announced that their EVs will start using the Tesla charging system (recently made open and renamed the North American Charging Standard) in 2025. With Ford changing to the Tesla plug, do you think other North American manufacturers should follow suit? I've charged with both NACS...

    Is there or should we create a Scout wave?

    I didn't know there was a Bronco wave. Boo!

    What If?

    That's the beauty of a "What if" thread. Throw it out and see if it sticks!

    Is there or should we create a Scout wave?

    The motorcycle wave is well known and pretty cool. What do you all think of coming up with a Scout wave that we can give each other when we cross on the road, whether that's an IH Scout to Scout EV or IH to IH or EV to EV? Or is there one and I'm ignorant?

    Why do you like to go off-road?

    Rocked a '93 Ramcharger for a long time. For the past handful of years I've been without a good off-road rig but the plan is to change that come 2026 with the new Scout!
