  • 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.

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    My 2019 Golf R has them. Great car, not bougie.😉

    Size comparison

    Several manufacturers (VW included) offer remote parking assistance with an app for parking in tight spaces. It would be a useful feature for Scout.

    Off Road Performance

    All we know is an independent front suspension, solid rear axle, available air suspension + sway bar disconnect.

    Do you think we will see a Travelette (Long Bed Heavy Duty)?

    That's Chris Benjamin in these photos (for anyone wondering).

    Unconventional spokesperson…

    Joel McHale would be someone to approach. He owns an ICON FJ43 and bought his wife a restomod 1970 IH Scout 800A. He is interested in EVs, too. He has owned a Tesla Model X and likes Rivians. https://www.motortrend.com/features/inevitable-vodcast-podcast-episode-68-actor-comedian-joel-mchale

    Service Center

    This is what was reported in an Automotive News article about Scout: The first 25 locations will be in 16 major markets, from New York to Miami and Seattle to San Diego. The 25 locations will either be Scout Studios, where customers shop and interact with a sales adviser, or Scout Workshops...

    Service Center

    It doesn't mean Scout doesn't have a plan. We know they will have service centers. It was discussed when they were introduced to the public back in October. What we don't know are the locations. Scout also never ruled out using a third party for service. They have two years to announce and set...

    New VW Tiguan has a fetching avocado green pearl paint job. I look forward to seeing it in person in the sunlight.

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    It sounds like the main issue is with the recirculating ball steering and how it's set up. https://www.thedrive.com/car-reviews/2024-ineos-grenadier-steering

    RV Towing

    What's the main issue? Is it having to disconnect the motors so they don't overheat?

    Off Road Performance

    FJ production ended only 3 years ago. I have no doubt people will be importing them 20 years from now.

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    Bollinger is close to liquidation. It would be cool if someone bought the rights to the B1/B2 and finished developing them.

    Combustion Engine

    Electricity generated by coal, nuclear, and hydro are also subsidized by the government. And solar and wind are also subsidized by the government. It seems like all energy is subsidized by the US Goverment in some way. Pick your poison.

    Combustion Engine

    Nothing I said was misleading. I'm demonstrating why some Americans don't think an EV is right for them. No one in my family or peer group is interested in an EV for the reasons I stated. Long highway drives are a reality for many Americans. Until EVs can match or surpass ICE for range and...

    Combustion Engine

    Electric fuel savings are real, but only if you charge at home. If you are dependent on high-speed charging, the savings evaporate. Car and Driver road tripped a Rivian: "Our most extreme road trip was a 24-hour run from our Michigan office to IMSA's 24-hour endurance race at Daytona...

    Combustion Engine

    And I'm not denying those figures. But I think the United States is more of an anomaly than the rest of the world. Gasoline is cheaper here than many industrialized countries. EV's are still More expensive up front. Lots of people look at a monthly payment and don't think about long-term costs...

    I can't speak for Canada but if there was no $7,500 incentive for leasing, USA EV sales would likely not be so rosy. There have been insane lease deals. There will be a glut of used EVS in 2 to 3 years. Whether or not those owners continue with EV's will be interesting.
