  • 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.

    Re-think Headlight Design

    I think it the headlights are great! It's the turn signal lever I have a major problem with! (just kidding! *grin*)

    Home charging setup costs

    Based off of how we assume the New Scouts will be configured, what is required and what are the approximate costs of getting setup to be able to charge at home? I have a 200amp panel. Thanks.

    Auto Transfer of Power Front to Back

    When the back tires have traction but the front tires want to spin, I would like for the system to transfer power to where it makes sense. Almost like Anti-Lock brakes, but more of an Anti-Spin Management System. There are many times when I find myself in a situation (climbing an off-camber...

    Scout Color Poll #1

    I know this post was for votes, not for suggestions, but since we're so far away from paint color decisions, here are the ones I would have a hard time deciding between. Regardless of color, I would apply a 50% transparent Rallye stripe and Scout on the back quarter panels.

    Terra- Remove LED trim light on Tailgate

    So the lights don't bother me. But it's felt like the backend is not quite right (over stated - could be different). It dawned on me that it would be great if the tailgate was not smooth across the back like every other SUV. But instead sunk in (in some cool modern way) like the original Scout...

    Re-think Headlight Design

    Well, now I feel like a salmon swimming upstream. I like the front lights and would not change them (except for the snow build up concern). The way I see it, the new Scout design is not trying to reproduce the original Scout II, it is a subtle nod to that heritage. I would not prefer round...

    What do you love or hate about other off-road vehicles

    That's funny. I didn't think about that. "Pure love of driving a vehicle." One summer, about 11,000 up in the Rockies I was climbing up a trail with a load of my fishing buddies. It had been drizzling most of the day and the hill we had to climb was more a series of pools than a trail. As...

    It's a Magic Carpet

    The magic of a vehicle like the New Scouts is the possibility to explore sites and experiences that many, if not most, people will never have or ever see. It's working your way up a narrow solid rock canyon not fully knowing what's around the next curve, except the excitement of exploration and...

    Turning Radius

    Maybe no engine up front allows for a narrower frame, or unique designed frame, that would leave extra room for the front tires to turn. It would take some magic, but would be a game changer.

    Turning Radius

    Tight turning radius would be much appreciated on the trail.
