  • 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.

    Rethink Steering Wheel Design?

    I suppose if my Watch, iPhone, Secondary Android and the truck itself are dead and I'm lost and can't look up at the Sun to figure out which way is East or West or North or South, then I'll be glad I have that Compass. Otherwise, everyone that gets in will say, "Oh, a Compass" and I'll complain...

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

    Thank You! I appreciate it. I was aware of this step and handle. The GM steps help getting into the bed. These are great for accessing deep in the bed.

    Apple CarPlay ULTRA for Scout: A Game Changer for Infotainment?

    We have the same issue with CarPlay in my Wife’s Q5. Same ‘reset’ procedure you mention. On my older A5 Cab, I can unplug and plug it in and usually get it to ‘reset’. Other glitches are: Completely blank Apple CarPlay Frozen A-CP Or frozen screen/map of Waze but has audio. Spotify clearly...

    Apple CarPlay ULTRA for Scout: A Game Changer for Infotainment?

    Same here! I bought my first Apple IIe in the early 80's and the first Macintosh in 1984 (second year in College!) . I'm Apple everything and use Carplay in all my cars. Having said that, I like the 'backup' of the cars native OS since Carplay will glitch often. L

    One feature that made you pull the the trigger on a reservation….

    The mix of screen and real knobs, switches and toggles. I still have to flesh it out and drive it and make sure it meets my needs. We’ll see.

    Harvester towing

    I’m being facetious. I wish the Harvester didn’t ‘de-rate’ towing on the Terra from 10,000 lbs.

    Harvester towing

    I imagine tongue weight doesn’t change. I’d hate to push a 7,000 lb tow rating out of warranty for 8,200 lbs!

    Harvester towing

    I think we need more towing. Tongue weight for what I want to tow is 820 lbs. Gross weight loaded is 8,300 lbs.

    Harvester towing

    I’d say it needs to be 7,500 lbs min. 10,000 was looking perfect.

    Re-think Headlight Design

    Agree. Heated housing? washers? Wipers? I just realized today I have headlight housing washers on my Q5 PHEV. It's really my Wife's car but we were out today and I have to have my wife use the washers/wipers while I see them clean the headlight housing. I presume its automatic with using...
