  • 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 anything SM could offer to get you to switch from EREV to BEV?

    Sorry, I didn't read all 26 pages. About towing...how would you charge the ev tow vehicle? Most charging sites that I've seen (not looking at many because I drive an ICE 2023 Bronco) the vehicles are backed. So would you have to drop your load and then go to the charger? The only way I see...

    A Gift From Scout Motors

    Yes. I received a book by WildSam organization. "Scout The America Others Pass By" Divided into sections of the US to explore. Nice. Thanks Scout Motors! I'm fairly new to the reservation family and missed out on the poster but the little book is nifty.

    Will the Scout EREV be obsolete by the time it gets here in 2027/28?

    That's great to hear. I'm looking forward to production of the vehicle. Thanks!

    Will the Scout EREV be obsolete by the time it gets here in 2027/28?

    Yes! This is the video I viewed yesterday that had me pose the questions to AI to see if any more details would come to light. I was glad to see Volkswagen (if true) is listed as one of the nearest to production, if not the expecting the biggest range. Thanks for sharing this.

    Will the Scout EREV be obsolete by the time it gets here in 2027/28?

    The information here, should be taken with a grain or two of salt as I asked Google AI for "Companies that are producing solid state batteries for automobiles" and "Which companies are closest to mass production of vehicles for the United States?" and; "of those companies, especially Volkswagen...

    May NEVER need it but I would want to add a winch, either factory or after market.

    Wheel size options

    No Thank you for an inside tire mount. I think I had an 82 Suburban Diesel with the inside tire. A vehicle that size, it's okay but better slung underneath or hanging off the back like the Scout prototype.

    Spare Tire, Backpack, or Bald?

    I'm for the spare tire, carrier and the gas can! I live with a Bronco and while the tailgate and spare are integrated, you still have to open the gate with the tire before you can lift the hatch open. No big deal. I like the look.

    Off Road Excursions/Day Camps/Schools

    I really hope Scout Motors rolls out the first class treatment. The Ford Bronco experience is really first class, starts early in the morning, they give you coffee and snacks, some learning and then out on the trails for a few hours. Followed by a great catered lunch and then more trails and...

    Off Road Excursions/Day Camps/Schools

    The Bronco Off Roadeo experience in Tennessee was FANTASTIC. Scout positioned as an off road vehicle should definitely do something like this. The Bronco experience is really first class. You arrive early, learn some basics and then you hit the trails in their vehicles. One seat comes with...

    Dash Rail with USB C ports

    Yes, if you are going to put the rail then access to the power should be obvious. My 23 Bronco Big Bend was a Mid package so it had some nice stuff but not the power outlet on top the dash. But Ford did make the Bronco easily modifiable and a third party designed a replace for the center dash...

    Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

    I registered for the Traveler Harvester. I was meh on the all electric announcement. I don't travel often but when I do I don't want to be tied down to a plug for any length of time. Gas fill-ups take about 10 minutes but the actual family stop is more like 30 or more minutes. LOL. But...
