  • 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.

    Bench Seat vs Standard

    Back in 1982, we bought a 1983 Ford Ranger with a bench seat and four on the floor. My wife, would always “shimmy” over and sit next to me. I’m sure if the Traveler front bench works out and we decide to go with that option, even after 43 years of marriage, she’d still “shimmy” over to sit next...

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

    Yes. A coordinated simultaneous announcement would have been nice. Or maybe Scout was just trying to place the focus temporarily on one of there trusted partners, that's never a bad thing. Either way all eyes are on the Scout and AAM partnership.

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

    Silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs are generally more efficient than IGBTs for inverters, especially in high-frequency applications, as they can handle higher power levels with lower energy losses. IGBTs, while effective for high-voltage applications, tend to have higher dynamic losses at elevated...

    That trend actually didn't originate in Carolina as the name suggests; it was born out of Baja Racing in California and became popular after hundreds of drivers posted photos of their squatting vehicles on Instagram. Because of this, the Carolina Squat became a trend that caught on all over the...

    Slate truck/SUV flat tow confirmed by Slate

    Electric vehicles (EVs) generally cannot be flat towed—meaning towed with all four wheels on the ground—due to their unique design and how their electric drivetrain operates. Here’s why: Many EVs are equipped with regenerative braking, a system where the electric motor acts as a generator to...

    Bench Seat vs Standard

    It will definitely depend on the final design. If the front bench has a useful fold down center section for when the 3rd seat is not needed, well then maybe.
