  • 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.

    I agree, the low-mounted Ralle stripe works extremely well. It's restrained and purposeful, reinforcing the new body lines while tying the modern surfacing back to the original Scout DNA - classic without overplaying the retro card.

    My exact promt was "craft a new image for me using the attached pic as the base and add the perfect off-roading gear for Colorado adventures. Ensure to get the front end correct, specifically the accurate spelling of Scout in the grill."

    I'm with you on that and I don't know if you've seen this, but I thought it might be helpful.

    As a long-time Parks fan, the depiction of the characters here is comedy gold

    Thoughts on Factory 37s

    Thank you for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate both your engagement here and Scout’s commitment to doing things the right way rather than rushing features to market. That kind of discipline is refreshing to see, especially from a brand that clearly cares about long-term durability...

    Thoughts on Factory 37s

    First off, I want to say this upfront: I’m incredibly impressed with what Scout is building. The Traveler and Terra feel thoughtfully engineered, and it’s obvious the team is prioritizing real-world durability—not just spec-sheet flexing. I also fully understand that there’s only so much detail...

    What Kind of Vehicle is Scout Actually Building? (and why that matters more than specs)

    I've really enjoyed the discussions here around towing, suspension, etc., and I wanted to take a step back and ask a slightly different question - one that I think sits underneath all those topics. Rather than debating individual components, I'm curious how others interpret Scout's underlying...

    Traveler vs. Terra - Targeted Technical Questions

    This is a phenomenal response – thank you for taking the time to walk through your reasoning in this level of detail. I really appreciate how you framed most of this as informed hypothesis rather than speculation presented as fact. That’s increasingly rare on forums and exactly why this thread...

    Traveler vs. Terra - Targeted Technical Questions

    Thanks for sharing this – that Out of Spec Rockies tow test is a really solid reference, especially for seeing how elevation and sustained load expose the real limits of EV trucks. After watching that video, I agree it’s one of the better real-world examples we have right now. The Lightning and...

    Air Suspension vs. Coils - Long Term Durability vs. Real Capability

    I really appreciate the detailed response. That is exactly the kind of long-term, lived experience I was hoping to hear. Your point about modern Land Rover EAS (post-2014) is well taken. They’ve clearly learned from earlier generations, and 90k miles with real off-road use, wide temperature...

    Air Suspension vs. Coils - Long Term Durability vs. Real Capability

    So the Traveler and Terra are planning to offer optional air springs with active damping and a solid rear axle, and I wanted to open a more grounded discussion around when air suspension actually makes sense for a vehicle like this - and when it may not. I'm not anti-air suspension. I am...

    Traveler vs. Terra - Targeted Technical Questions

    I'm currently deciding between the Traveler and Terra and want to isolate the true engineering differences that matter for real-world-use - specifically towing, altitude performance, thermal management, and chassis behavior. Both vehicles share the same body-on-frame platform, solid rear axle, ~...
