  • 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.

    Agreed regardless of anyone’s political beliefs without jobs Americans don’t have money. Nothing against importing things but it shouldn’t be cheaper to build a car in another country then ship here than to build here.

    Scout concepts on Jay Leno’s Garage

    They seem to have taken steps to lower the cost the on the erev models. I agree with the affordability point. But I also think that by coming with such a low number they would be losing a good chunk of sales. Hopefully they will find a nice middle ground of keeping cost down and still be capable.

    I agree some people won’t be happy with the harvester if the tow ratings end up being 5000lbs. I’m sure scott is regretting saying that now. Personally I’m really hoping that the number goes up. But if they don’t then some people will get the bev model and do as you mentioned. Others will...

    Scout concepts on Jay Leno’s Garage

    Yes but that’s very argument most people have with ev’s. You don’t have to plan trips around where gas stations are now you just stop when you feel like it. I know I don’t want to be hindered. With having to stop here and there to charge or possibly going off the path to my destination. When I...

    My guess is that they will use the original colors as inspiration for the new models. As someone else said most new cars have some metallic in the paint. They could more than likely match the original colors with modern paint. But they have to take into account. How well it looks with the body...

    Harvester towing

    The towing limit for harvester models isn’t set in stone yet. It’s likely that the number will be higher. But we will have to wait for the official numbers before we know for sure

    Battery Life Cycle

    One thing to keep in mind when solid state batteries do start to become a regular thing. Even though the batteries will be more energy dense they will still probably just be in 300-400 mile range. Most people won’t need anymore than that it won’t make sense financially for manufacturers to...

    Scout concepts on Jay Leno’s Garage

    It is very cool that you guys brought a couple of one off concept cars for jay to drive. I just hope the scout models we get aren’t overly watered down versions of the concept cars like we normally get (bronco). Would love to see a couple pics of the winter testing or a video.

    Accessories Poll For Scouts

    It would be great if scout will make some of the accessories listed not tied to an upgraded trim package so that they can be applied to any trim level.

    I think the battery pack for the harvester models will be more towards the front axle than the rear to apply more weight to the steering axle. But a boulder in frunk would work too😂

    Really good point on the tongue weight. Personally I think by the time all is said and done the tow rating for the traveler harvester will be around the 6000lbs range +- which is pretty good. It’s likely that the 5000lbs number was a safe number to put out until they get some things ironed out.

    Drivetrain Mode Selection

    I could definitely see a mode that uses awd to get moving. Then switching rear motor only being useful at saving battery life. Could possibly save from some tire wear as well since these things will have so much torque.

    The gas tank needs to be bigger on the Harvester models

    This is one of the funniest I’ve seen 😂

    Slight redesign of the grille

    We’ll chalk it up to different taste for different people. I don’t mind the simplistic design just my opinion that the area could be improved with simple changes to really make it stand out and say im a scout. But then again I’ve not had a chance to see it in person so i might like it more in...

    I like the copper and dark green but if black becomes option it would be hard to turn down.

    The gas tank needs to be bigger on the Harvester models

    I live in the mountains so the range lost by climbing grades matter a lot to me. They could simply run the towing test with a box trailer which has no aerodynamics with extra weight added to make it to max weight then one test solves both questions. The ramcharger seems to have found a good...
