  • 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.

    Future Opportunities

    I check the employment section at Scout about once a week. I keep thinking my background in sales and management may be applicable some day. Just hoping living in Montana won’t be an issue. Scout seems to be in the right track, and it would be cool to be a part of it!

    How Will Scout Keep Its Momentum Until 2027?

    I’ve thought this myself. I threw $100 down the day of the review out of pure excitement, like a lot of us did. I joined the forum that same day, so I’m still very new to Scout (I have zero history attaching me to Scouts of the past). I like vehicles that are practical and affordable, but they...

    All gas

    What about a 700hp Supercharged V8? Any chance there? I’m just kidding! But I’d still take one if Scout changed their mind. Just saying…

    All gas

    I'm pretty much a ICE guy as well (currently drive a Ram TRX - it doesn't get much more gas piggy than that). With that said, I have a reservation for the Scout Traveler with the Harvester Gas Extended Option. This to me will be a great option. I can do the EV thing for my daily commute, and...

    Analog Scout?

    I’ll be the first to admit I’d prefer a 700hp Supercharged Hellcat under the hood of the Scout, but I’m a little biased to that platform. That said, I’m cautious optimistic and excited about the Harvester from Scout. You’re list is pretty interesting, but like others said, probably expensive...

    Sound suppression

    Like others have said, a lot depends on the tire choice. After 36,000 miles I was happy to replace the factory Goodyear Territory All Terrain for a set of General Grabber A/Tx’s in the factory size. The Goodyear was a hybrid Mud and A/T combo (sort of), and while it performed well, my god was it...

    Ideas for Harvester

    One big ding against a diesel setup that folks haven’t mentioned is the diesel pump itself. More times than not a diesel pump is a dirty nasty mess. The last thing I want is to have to pack disposable rubber gloves with me all the time (diesel fuel stinks). The next time you get gas take a...

    33 Months of EV driving...

    So in a less elegant way, you’re saying you got to pay to play? The same can be said for a gas vehicle. The faster you go, the less range you get. I know in my truck once I get over 70mph and kind of fuel economy goes away. It comes down to how far I have to travel in a day, and how much I’m...

    I get those looks a lot too. 🤣

    Charging a Scout with a Scout

    I missed your thread, but it’s definitely on the same idea. I just remember waking up at 2am and wondering if you could charge one EV with another? It’s just something that kind of made sense to me, but at the same time I’m not an engineer, and not sure how this would work?

    Charging a Scout with a Scout

    So this was something that literally came to me in a dream last night. The idea was charging a Scout (or other EV) with another Scout. There’s been talk about EV’s running houses when there’s no power. But what about using one EV to charge another? Imagine a Scout is down to 5% battery, and...

    Automatic Retractable Electric Running Boards

    White Knuckle makes my favorite rock sliders. Slightly bigger step than the factory rock rails on my TRX, but not something that gets in the way. At 6’8” I rarely need a step for a vehicle, so I get the long leg thing too.

    Automatic Retractable Electric Running Boards

    I know more people who have had issues with electric steps than not. I’d rather see something like the rock rails on my truck, but with a slightly bigger step.

    Factory Pickup Temporarily Tags?

    I bought a Dodge Challenger a few years back in Texas. The dealer put temporary tags on it and I drove it home. My TRX was ordered from a dealership in Utah and delivered to me in Montana with temporary Utah tags. It’s really not a big deal.

    A “Back to the Future” Scout would be bad ass!

    Hot take: 18-22" Wheels on Base Model

    I’m sure the 20” wheels with a 35” tire would be fine for most cases. I just prefer a smaller wheel with larger tires. To me the 18” rim with 35” tires would be the perfect fit. Unless they offer 37” tires, and then I want those with my 18” rims.

    Exterior lights for camping or off road

    I’ll pass on the chrome spinners as they are a bastard to clean when muddy. You don’t want to show up to Walmart with muddy spinners. Really hurts a persons credibility.
