  • 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.

    What’s your hobby

    I would love to say fishing, hunting, and kayaking - but my actual hobby is more like spending time on the internet reading about those things. Once upon a time I fished about every other weekend 4 months out of the year, and kayaked multiple times per week (2x per week year round, and every...

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    I suspect the difference is how much you don't follow the rules... Your description did not include utterly ignoring the speed limit for instance.

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    I live in a rural ag community. Unless you are really old money, most new ranchers lease what they can find - so they have to move equipment, so making fuel at the barn not all that common anymore. Solution, mobile refueling out of a tank in the bed of their truck - so 150 gallons in a truck...

    Scout Adventure Center

    Of course, if you are camping with your Scout as power - a nice bank of high amp 800v superchargers would be nice to top off before the trip home (maybe while you are having your morning breakfast and coffee).

    Will harvester models be "maintenance free" like their EV siblings?

    I think the real question will be how fast you put hours on the engine. I seriously doubt it will go over 200hrs between services, and honestly since it will always be running at load 100hrs is probably more likely. But if you are plugging it in every night, you could probably easily get a...

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    There are a few 4x4 vans, probably a couple companies that lift them. My family enjoyed our Sienna a lot, so the offroad version interested me.

    Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

    The Toyota's Ultimate Utility Vehicle is not a new concept vehicle - I think I saw pictures of it at least 5 years ago. Wow, quick google showed pictures from 2015.

    Recline flat rear bench

    I like a hard bed - so I got a higher end custom futon made. Slept on that till my future wife moved in. New house will have a man cave - I will probably set it up again... I still miss it a bit.

    Package options - what would you like bundled?

    My only problem with bundles is getting stuck with something I absolutely do not want to get what I do want. I don't want a sun roof, but it seems to always be tied with options I do.

    Scout Concepts in Fort Worth, Texas October 2, 2025

    5-7 years... More like 3 in Texas. Don't think the heat helps them very much.

    Test drove a couple Wranglers today…

    Sorry, it was 37's in the post with the RZR pictures (I did not look at the posters name, but even then not sure if it was your Jeep-or just a Jeep with big tires). They looked big, so I probably just inflated the number in my head. We went with narrower 35's, so they don't look quite as huge...

    What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

    Bumper steps would be nice (and not just on the Terra). I have an drop down step on my truck, I use it all the time (Ford did not have bumper steps). I am split on running board steps though. I have retractable on my Truck, and use them every time I get in - but don't miss having a step all...

    Toolbox

    Foam is a nightmare waiting to happen - wait till it gets wet (and you open it 2 weeks latter to a bunch of corroded tools). That said, you could bolt on some t-slot and use clips to keep your heavy gear from sliding around while still having the open space between stuff - plus it would allow...

    Rear Wiper Hopes & Dreams!

    VW might not have the best rear wiper - but it does have the best rear camera I have used. When not in use, a cover closes over it. Every other rear camera in the family is grime covered 80% of the time - VW always has a crystal clear picture.

    Test drove a couple Wranglers today…

    Thought maybe they upgraded the battery - but replies have not indicated that so far. I think the hybrid mainly only gives you a low end acceleration boost - as electric only, it is almost a joke. I guess I could make a couple laps around my ranch in silent mode, but that is about it. As for...

    Pictures From Rodeo Event: Ft Worth, TX

    Still liking the platform concept on the Terra, but will offer a few un-solicited suggestions - as I have a similar platform on my Jeep, and have played with it a bit. I really like being able to stand on mine. As it is designed now - I really don't think that would probably be a good idea...

    ICE To EV. 2019 Tundra to 2023 F150 Lightning Lariat.

    I have had 2 substantial outages in the last 5 years. I think one was 2 days, the other was 15 minutes of power every 3 hours for maybe 3 days. Last year, brother's-in-law took a week outage, and another 4 days about a month latter. Our rental took a bit over a week outage on that second one...

    Switching Harvester to All EV Model?

    Honestly, the Harvester would need a few changes to make me consider it. Longer battery range, equal towing capacity, maybe a diesel option... As it is, the extra maintenance and complexity is more trade off than I am willing to make.

    What would your last vehicle be if you had to decide today

    Today, I would just replace my 8 year old F250 with a nearly identical new model (with a couple extra options that were not available when I purchased it new). I tow to much now and nothing new can really replace a diesel engine. If I had to replace any of my other vehicles, really don't...

    2 door Terra option

    Our Jeep was virtually a line by line custom order. The only limit was needing a package or 2 to get a few options probably - and honestly I doubt there was much on those packages that we did not want. One feature that was not optional for us was in enough demand that a custom order was the...
