  • 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.

    Bigger Gas Tank - 15 Gallons is Abysmal

    Ford & Chevy do not have an EREV option, and Ram has delayed its Ramcharger yet again... I'm not sure that your comparison makes much sense given that the current trucks on the market I compared the Terra to gasoline and diesel 1/4-ton trucks, focusing on their range when towing a trailer at...

    Bigger Gas Tank - 15 Gallons is Abysmal

    Great point about relying on the battery before the generator takes over. I should have been clearer that I was referring to the generator’s performance once the battery is depleted. That said, as I mentioned, the average duration is only about 2.5 hours, which the battery alone should easily...

    Bigger Gas Tank - 15 Gallons is Abysmal

    Personally, if long distance heavy towing were my PRIMARY USE CASE (or I operated a long-haul towing business, for example) I would buy a 2500 HD Diesel. That's a really good point you bring up. The "adventure" vehicle marketing for the Scout, with its off-road features like the trim options...

    Bigger Gas Tank - 15 Gallons is Abysmal

    The added weight is not a detriment to range, or I must be missing something in how EVs operate. A gallon of gasoline weights about 6 pounds and we're talking about adding a modest 10 gallons to the vehicle (60 pounds). The actual tank itself might add something around 40 pounds. In total, we're...

    Bigger Gas Tank - 15 Gallons is Abysmal

    Thanks for the reply Chaz26. My intent here is to highlight that a simple modification to the truck, which shouldn't be expensive nor hard, can open the Terra to more buyers. I'm not asking for a V8 or twin turbo gas engine, but a simple modification.

    Bigger Gas Tank - 15 Gallons is Abysmal

    To address comments posted by fellow forum members. Why do new members always start by complaining? Instead of simply complaining, I was hoping to initiate a constructive discussion by presenting some real-world truck use case scenarios where the Scout "might" face some challenges compared to...

    Bigger Gas Tank - 15 Gallons is Abysmal

    First, let's review battery basics, as I understand them: for optimal daily use, electric vehicles (EVs) are generally recommended to stay within an 80% maximum State of Charge (SOC) and avoid consistently dropping below a 20% minimum SOC. To maximize the longevity of an electric vehicle's...
