  • 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.

    Removable Doors

    The reveal vehicles have side mirrors attached to the doors. Removing the doors would therefore remove the mirrors. I believe some states allow doors to be removed but not the side mirrors. The fact that the mirrors attach to the doors, indicates to me that Scout are not planning removable doors.

    Spare tire carrier should open from the right

    Hindering access to the sidewalk is a real problem. I’m not concerned that it could swing into traffic if it opened the other way because the vehicle also has doors that open into traffic. I think it’s got to open the other way so it moves away from the sidewalk.

    Adventure Key - NFC wristband

    Apple Watch and iPhone both continue to function as keys after their batteries are dead. As power fades it switches from using UWB to NFC. (NFC requires proximity whereas UWB can unlock as you approach the vehicle). In order to work with no battery you need to have it set to not require...

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

    That’s good to hear.

    HUD

    I commute on a freeway that passes a sand/gravel pit and the trucks carrying it leave a trail of destruction behind them with the vehicles following in all the lanes of the freeway taking repeated hits. Right now I have about 7 large chips and small cracks in the windshield, if I see a crack...

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

    Personally, I’d pay extra for a rubber floor. Cleaning carpet is always a big pain, especially if you have a dog that sheds or are in and out in a muddy environment or going off road in a dusty environment I’m sure Scout will serve a range in terms of luxury. I think what we saw a the reveal...

    Adventure Key - NFC wristband

    What about Apple CarKey support? If this is implemented, an Apple Watch becomes a key for the vehicle, which is similar to the adventure band being proposed in this thread. Anyone that already wears an Apple Watch would not need to wear an additional wrist band key or even take a traditional...

    Android Auto & CarPlay.

    There is already an EV charge routing integration with CarPlay/Apple Maps that vehicle manufacturers can support. This also shows the battery state of charge in Apple Maps. I not sure if there is an API for other map apps in CarPlay to use this. But I agree with you, the state of charge should...

    That’s great! I missed that.

    Android Auto & CarPlay.

    CarPlay & Android Auto have been requested many times in various threads. Jamie recently asked for each request to be in its own thread in the Suggestion Box so that forum members can up- vote each request individually. To up-vote CarPlay & Android Auto support, use the voting panel on the...

    Suspension Speculation

    I think it’s quite likely that we see the new Scouts in Baja. In 2023 Scout Motors sponsored a vintage Scout in the race. See https://blog.scoutmotors.com/down-but-not-out-racing-a-vintage-scout-terra-in-baja/

    Move Harvester generator to frunk

    We have gone 700 miles before (rotating drivers) but not without stopping once for food. 500 miles before needing to charge is fine just for me. In the course of driving such a long distance there will likely be plenty of opportunities to charge. The frunk is an essential feature. Carrying...

    Jerry Cans + Harvester Range Extender

    Your hopes are at odds with the concept artwork from Scout which shows a small engine in place of where the 32in spare rides under the truck bed. There is also an empty frunk for storage, so no big engine. The little engine is not going to be anywhere near large enough to run the vehicle down...

    Basic or All Decked Out?

    I love full off road capability, the 35s, the tire carrier, the Harvester, the cabana roof and the leather seats. What I want and what I can afford will probably be two different things. I have two years to figure out how I’ll pay for it, so right now I can dream.

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    I expect the vehicle computer will track how much the Harvester is being used and fire it up as necessary, not just to cycle through gas but also to move the oil around the engine.

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    There will probably be no extra weight to lug around because the battery being a little bit smaller saves weight that is then used for the engine. A lot of EVs are lugging around big battery packs that are rarely needed. Scout are providing the choice of lugging around a small engine instead...

    I reserved a Traveller Harvester. I’ll use those 500 miles. Some recent roadtrips from here in SoCal: Seqouia/Kings Canyon (CA) Yosemite (CA) Glacier via Yellowstone (CA, NV, UT, ID, WY, MT) Arches/Moab (CA, NV, UT) White Sands/Carlsbad Caverns/Bandelier/Painted Desert/Petrified Forest (CA, AZ, NM)

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    The 500 Harvester miles are obviously 500 miles with 1000 ft/lbs of torque. It’ll drive 499 miles and then do a 3.5 sec 0-60 or pull almost anything! This is in fact possible if the Harvester generator is small, like Scout’s artwork shows it. If there is a limp mode where driving performance is...

    Speculation Alert - possible Harvester Engine Choices

    That video was recorded before the reveal presentation. They had a private briefing and while the information was very fresh they were spit-balling on camera. Those videos from the select few that got early access are the worse for accurate information. The Harvester video clearly shows Scout...

    Confirmed….Scout using Rivian’s software…

    This is a great article. Rivian’s chief software guy seems out of touch (no pun intended), his ideals for how people should interact with a vehicle (voice commands) are not what most people want. One of the biggest cheers at the Scout reveal event was for physical buttons and the automotive...
