  • 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.

    TFL Truck segment on Scout Motors

    Video may create some excitement as it has 57k views to date (July 5th). A recap of the things happening at SM, speculations and a healthy debate on EVs. Oh and a render as what appears to be a mix between 1st gen 4Runner and a new Bronco.

    Scouts Spirit Animal

    It seems manufacturers often correlate their models with the animal kingdom to help reflect the identity of their ethos. E.g. Kawaski has mule, Dodge has Hellcat and Ford uses G.O.A.T to describe their offloading modes. This is a marketing strategy, but a wise one. What animal would you...

    Too Quiet

    Things have been pretty quiet lately with Scout Motors, hoping we can get some new updates aside from the recent announcements of the facility and locations. @Jamie@uou have anything up your sleeves? Would love to see more concepts.

    Car and Driver Article

    See post here with render. Personally I like the design, however to give homage to the Scout history the front end will need some staples to relate to its history. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43555699/2026-scout-suv-pickup-preview/

    I decided to kick off a dog thread. As a fan of overlanding, who will be joining you on your prospective journey on new adventures in a Scout? Here is my guy, Teddy. He is a Boxer and unfortunately I had to put him down after 9 wonderful years. When live slows down I plan to get another side...
