  • 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.

    Keep it Simple - Please

    Ideas for keeping it simple and maybe options for us simple people: 1. Manual windows - Do you know what it costs to replace regulators and motors when electric windows fail? 2. No radio - keep it optional. Bring your own speaker. The peaceful outdoors on the back country trails is a nice...

    Scout Deal Breakers

    Can last over 250K+ miles like my 1991 Land Cruiser ;-). Overbuilt and redundancy built to last a very long time.

    Could we see Fusion5 Glass in the Scouts?

    Looks like Corning is working on a new tougher automotive glass called Fusion5. Wonder if we will see this in the Scout product line. As an offroader, it sure stings when a windshield is cracked by all kinds of items.

    Interesting quote from NY Times - VW + Rivian + Scout

    Read this article today entitled "Why do S.U.V.s Look Like Trucks Again?" and read this quote. Interesting but unsure if this accurate about the new Scout. "VW also plans to integrate Rivian’s technology into an ambitious revival of the Scout brand, long-defunct trucks built by International...

    Would be nice - innovation

    Would love to see a day when I could control the Scout from outside with an app so I could control precise rock crawling or recovery situations. In addition, how about retractable rock sliders?

    Miles of Range Added Per Minute?

    Will be really interesting to see what the miles of range added per minute on the new Scout. Using a public 350-kw DC fast charger, its interesting the numbers a recent Consumer Reports came up with. The fastest was the Tesla Model 3 with 16.1 miles per minute. The slowest, 2.7 miles per minute...

    Insight on acoustic and thermal insulation

    It would be great to ensure that the new Scout outperforms and differentiates from competitors regarding acoustic and thermal insulation for this next-generation SUV.

    AI and Scout? Deeper Insight

    We all know that the subject of AI is all over the board these days. With all the data that is being collected in motor vehicles, it would be great if Scout Motors takes it beyond Diagnostics and Maintenance but takes advantage of all the data collected to make our driving experience much more...

    Would you want a translucent, auto-dimming antiglare visor for drivers and passengers.

    It would be wonderful if Scout could look into offering a translucent, auto-dimming antiglare visor for both drivers and passengers. Gentex is an innovator in this area! Just imagine how beneficial this could be for everyone on the road. I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions!

    Keep it Simple - Please

    These days, so many manufacturers are overloading their vehicles with all kinds of gadgetry and some features no one ever touches. One of the things I like about my 1991 FJ80 Land Cruiser is its simplicity. Yes, it doesn't have all the creature comforts of a modern SUV and it doesn't even have...

    Don't let California VW Dealers Bully Scout Motors

    There's a lot of press about California VW dealers trying to eliminate Scout's direct-to-consumer model. As consumers, we should not allow VW and California dealers to bully Scout. As I understand, they are (Scout) an independent business that wants to deal directly with consumers, which is...
