  • 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.

    Is there or should we create a Scout wave?

    Supposedly the Jeep Wave started after WWII, when GIs would get a Jeep for civilian use. But it was primarily the old vets that liked them, bought them and drove them. So when they saw each other they gave themselves not only a wave, but the "V" for victory. That's always the story I've been told.

    Top Five Accessories For The New Scout

    2023 Grand Wagoneer Now I'd like to see the passenger DO more. Almost like a rally car/Baja navigator. But then it also comes to mind to be able to adjust tire pressures, lockers, power output and drivetrain in general. Let me focus on my line and driving, and IF they want, the co-pilot can...

    Scratch built RC Scout 800 video

    Do you know if there's a Traveler body for RC?

    So what does everyone think of the first new Scout designs...

    That's the key. Jeep is synonomous for fun. It's just is. And when you ride in one, with the top down and doors off, that's the experience. It's just, plain, fun. Scout can invigorate the EV market by being this. Fun. To hell with everyone else. Let them see us not giving a shit what they're...

    Top Five Accessories For The New Scout

    I love so many of the ideas already presented, so I'm going to do like I'm shopping for cologne and sniff a coffee bag first... A plethora of bumpers and rock rails/steps. Sunshades for when the top is down. Cargo containment system. Trailer cam integration into dash display(I plan on towing...

    Is there or should we create a Scout wave?

    And the Bronco wave is all in response to the Jeep wave. No bullshit, that's a thing. And you should see the envy Cherokees, Compasses, Renegades have for the Wrangler folks... Then the Bronco came back out and they started doing the "Bronco wave" like they invented it. And then they started...

    Early door shape

    I don't have those skills with PS but I'd be curious what your idea is.

    Rear Seats

    I was about to say something similar. I like how cargo would fit with those, but I can imagine in a car crash from the front or rear wouldn't be a positive outcome.

    Looks like the Scout isn't the only vehicle VW is re-booting...

    Meh. I'd take the Scout... obviously lol

    Open air utility is compelling

    This is what I loved about my Scouts as well, and am planning on using my Traveler when I acquire one.

    Rear Seats

    What do the FJ40 jump seats look like? The fold and tumble of the Jeep is pretty standard nowadays, so I'd bet they'd go that route.

    Things to Avoid

    As a driver you want to be able to turn off the airbag? I don't think that's legal to do. I'd think an option would be to put in your height and the computer might be able to adjust the power of the airbag, but probably not as it's an explosive charge that sets off the airbags in cars. I get...

    Axles, suspension ideas

    I'd like to see something like the Elaphe model at each corner. That L1500 model sounds amazing for the EVangeline project of mine.

    Scout 80/800 vs Scout II/Traveller

    I'm a post 71 fan. My dream is a 76 Traveler, but only because of the grill, which I can swap out when I get one. For me it's always about function then form. When we were in Iraq, everyone was getting a wrangler, but I knew it wouldn't work for me and mine. We NEEDED the space for gear. Jeep...

    My wife might kill me... '76 Traveler

    Preciate that, but it's just a dream. We don't have the $1000 to pick it up at this point in time.
