  • 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.

    Function over form

    Toyota is announcing a Land Cruiser for the U.S. market which will have retro FJ styling. This is good news for competition, but reminds me of the "make it look off-roady" trends some auto designers follow by placing form over function. I think Toyota is as bad (or good) at doing this as any...

    Scout Motors strategy for aftermarket?

    @Jamie@ScoutMotors What is the team thinking about supporting an aftermarket? What brought this to mind is whether or not Scout Motors will provide true weight bearing rock sliders or if there will be mounting points provided for a 3rd party to utilized. The question really extends to any...

    Not competition for Scout, however...

    This is a concept from Aehra, an Italian startup. I like the aero effects to reduce the drag coefficient, which is important for an EV and to counter the Scout's boxy design. Hood vents, front intake and side vents...looks cool. Should Scout incorporate this type of aero effects for...

    GPS suggestions

    jamie@scoutmotors What is the current thinking about an integrated GPS vs using a mobile app? I prefer integrated, but I use both methods in different vehicles. If given the option, I will choose to pay for the integrated GPS instead of paying a subscription. I would like to see Scout...
