  • 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.

    Please don't put the Harvester engine behind/below the rear axle

    In my Land Rover....so far, never. I have seen all manner of vehicles on the side of the trail, hood up and elbows turning, or corner jacked and hammers banging. Sometimes my offers for help are accepted, sometimes not. Visit any overlanding forum and browse around. If you're in West Bumfuck...

    Minimizing complexity

    Took my $86,000 2017 Land Rover Discovery off road before I even had plates. I didn't pay that much for the capability to be a mall crawler.

    Minimizing complexity

    Put the Harvester in the front.

    And with modern traction control it matters very little. I've never lost momentum with one of my wheels in the air in my Land Rover. Neither have friends with 4Runners, Broncos, Raptors, etc.

    So what are you doing to support serviceability and maintainability? This is the biggest issue I see with hanging the engine off the back. A small 4 banger in the front isn't a challenge for Toyota, Land Rover, Jeep, who all fit much bigger engines between the front wheels. My Land Rover is...

    Dude, what forum are we on?

    Please don't put the Harvester engine behind/below the rear axle

    No, I specifically asked for EREVs. Your post is irrelevant.

    What off road capable EREV SUVs are available on the market today? Please list them.

    Not sure how easy that's going to be under the rear floor board. And what happens when a fuel pump goes out on the road and you have six days of overlanding gear in the back? I'd rather just pop the hood, root around in a cavernous front end servicing a small slant four, and be on my way.

    Not unexpected. I mean, it's an SUV or a Pickup - seriously, those who have never had an EV you're not going to miss a frunk. Many of us who have them in sedans never use them. It's like a jetted tub in your house. Shows great, you're like "wow, a jacuzzi in my bedroom!" And then you use it to...

    This.

    Please don't put the Harvester engine behind/below the rear axle

    And Still haven't seen much about maintainability or impact to cargo area?

    Please don't put the Harvester engine behind/below the rear axle

    Yep, might do.

    Please don't put the Harvester engine behind/below the rear axle

    Great. Put it in the front, not in the back.

    Please don't put the Harvester engine behind/below the rear axle

    Granted, this is CarBuzz and so not the most reputable automobile industry rag, but this concerns me as a Harvester reservation holder who will *not* consider a full BEV: https://carbuzz.com/scout-harvester-range-extender-patent/ Look, @Jamie@ScoutMotors - just dump the frunk on the EREV and...

    TFL dumping on Scout in there latest video

    TFL are clickbait idiots who literally do not know how to drive off-road. "Let's compare two unfinished, unreleased vehicles on paper specs which may or may not even be accurate..." LOL OK

    Brake pedal behavior: Preference?

    Polestar uses blended braking always, with varying levels of regen vs friction. I swear it has intelligence integrated with the vision-based collision avoidance system because it will come to a stop with F1 precision on a stop line with no brake pedal input. The Polestar has two levels of regen...

    Rear Window

    The swing arm and tire carrier should be removable at the hinge, no? If not, maybe removing just the tire will allow it to fit in my garage. Without the spare tire it's actually a tick shorter than my Land Rover, which just fits in my garage with enough room to slide around the front, but not...

    Brake pedal behavior: Preference?

    In both my Polestar and my wife's GV60, when full regen occurs whether you touch the brake or not, the brake lights come on. This is a safety measure for a good reason, specifically because of the one you highlight.

    Rear Window

    I believe the rear tire carrier is supposed to be removable - this would allow the Traveler to fit in most garages. If it's not, I probably won't buy it because I want it in my garage.
