  • 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.

    [Terra] Double cab with a 6.5' bed

    Ford has an easy option for people who want a 6.5' bed - either custom order it, or get an F250. Where I live, F250's are probably more common than F150's. Stocking vehicles cost dealerships money. Why split the F150 sales, when a more expensive option is available with the F250. FWIW - 6.5'...

    Any talk of crab crawl mode ?

    I don't see how it would do it with a solid rear axle. Unless you are referring to something other than what I am imagining - driving sideways. Driving sideways requires 4 wheel steering.

    Interesting article about the engineering underneath the new Scouts

    I have owned a ton of vehicles with solid rear axles - they really don't worry me. I will admit, my Tacoma with it's independent front suspension is far more comfortable on rough roads than either of my 2 Jeeps or my F250. Disconnecting the sway bars helps a decent amount on the Jeeps - but...

    Missing the mark

    Sure, I would like it to cost less - I expect most vehicle purchasers feel the same, with the exception of a small group that wish it would cost more to weed out the masses and give it an elite status. That said, they sized it as a full sized SUV. I suspect it is also in the price range of...

    How much personalization/modification ability do you want to see in the new Scout?

    While it would surely be used for less than legal activities - a decent amount of the people who legally hunt at night (pest control in Texas is a big thing - feral hogs) with night vision would love a blackout mode, and blackout on an EV would be even nicer. Stealth.

    More lift, less lift, or just right.

    You would need to go the golf cart route and add a small 12v transformer - should work for little stuff. But serious lights and the winch would require a bit of help from the aftermarket community.

    Entry Model Specs, Premium Model Price?

    Sadly market segmentation is alive and well in the Auto industry. While there may not be a 2 wheel drive Wrangler - and you can aftermarket the best possible drive train and suspension for one - they still have lower performance drive trains available and they still probably sell more of them...

    More lift, less lift, or just right.

    we are assuming this will use a 12v aux system... I thought some builders were already discussing going to 48v to cut the amps down.

    More lift, less lift, or just right.

    Not sure what Jeep is putting on stock anymore - but IIRC, stock on the Rubicon was 33". With gas, you almost wanted a regear to pull the 35" tires. Diesel did not notice the difference. Torque is king.

    More lift, less lift, or just right.

    Funny, when I look at it - I tend to think it is the road option... It is about the same height of my 1/2 ton Chevy was. Worse vehicle mistake I ever made. Sold in while it was still under warranty (it had way too much warranty work). Was not paying attention to the axle - it did not have...

    More lift, less lift, or just right.

    I kind of am afraid to post this poll, as I have become well aware that there are people looking at the Scout from many backgrounds and with many different expectations. I have read quite a few posts illustrating a fear of height. On the flip side, the Scout will most likely be lower than most...

    Dimensions

    You simply will never please everybody. But I have to chime in just to try to prevent the Traveler from being changed to something I find far less desirable. ITS TOO TALL - no, it's not. It may be too tall for some people granted, especially if you are used to driving a car. But tall is...

    What kind of tech do you expect enabled in the car or interface?

    Putting the winch on the receiver puts it entirely in front of the bumper, extending the overall length quite a bit. What would most likely happen is the winch would end up living a hidden life in the frunk and not adding it's cool factor to the vehicle. Which let's face it, probably sells...

    Future Model: Scout Sport- Smaller, and more efficient, but still capable.

    Guess it depends on where you live - whats a Rav4. No, just joking, used to live in Austin - so while I know what they are, I don't see many where I live now. New company, limited production - make the highest margin vehicle first. Then if sales has not exceeded production capacity, consider...

    Post Reveal Suggestions

    Not sure if this is the best place for this post. But a few other thoughts that I have had after watching a bunch of various reveal videos. I see a lot of buttons and switches. Don't know what they do. At least one reveal video gave a close up and I rather questioned the labels on them...

    Dog Ramp

    Got a ramp for my labs - never managed to get them comfortable using it though. It is somewhere in the barn now - partially broken because I think I drove over it. My LJ doors are at 28" - the labs have no trouble yet jumping in (oldest is 8). My shelty - it needs help getting in the...

    Post Reveal Suggestions

    Tall is relative. The bottom of the door of my wife's Rubicon (with 35" tires) is 24". I have no trouble getting into it - but when measuring it, I have to admit the drivers side base of the door frame has the paint rubbed a bit - so I bet my wife is stepping there. The bottom of my LJ door...

    [Terra] Double cab with a 6.5' bed

    Sigh... One reason I never really considered getting a Raptor was the lack of the 6.5' bed. They make F150's with an extend cab and a 6.5' bed now - but not Raptors. I made the mistake of getting my first F150 with a 5.5' bed. I used that truck well, and it lasted forever for me - but it's...

    Audible pedestrian warning noise

    My LJ has a strait 6 AND mud grips. It is almost painful at highway speeds - even after I soundproofed the interior. Only thing that would have made it worse is having a soft top.

    Terra Rear Bumper

    I have to agree. While I reserved a Traveler - I did notice that the Terra's rear bumper was less than optimal. That said, it looks like it is mostly independent of the body - so should be easy enough to have different options. Would be best if those options were not all aftermarket though -...
