  • 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.

    Carplay unconfirmed?!

    That you can't officially say you will have Carplay or Android Auto until you sign a contract with them and money changes hands.

    Vehicles 80" and more in width are required to have additional lighting (3 amber lights in the front, three red lights in the back). Most manufacturers try and stay under that number, which is probably why Scouts will be 79.9 inches.

    Your post from American Axle back in June said both front and rear drive units. https://community.scoutmotors.com/threads/extra-extra-read-all-about-it.172/page-112#post-35925

    I can see the Tungsten trim hitting 6 figures, but an ICE Laramie 1500 is $65-70k with a street price under $60k.

    Something smells fishy. 2025 Ramcharger? It's the RAM REV, and 2026 or 2027. Why would they post a Monroney for a vehicle that was never offered for sale?

    Want a Scout. Don't want the Drama!

    A couple of things: The Mercedes G580 EV is body-on-frame with a solid rear axle. Ram hasn't cancelled the (formerly Ramcharger) REV, and the same EREV powertrain will be available in the Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

    Norway is such an outlier though. It's a country with less than 6 million people, but a sovereign wealth fund of over $2 trillion dollars! They have offered generous EV incentives and have a zero emissions mandate. It's an impressive feat, but not easy to duplicate...

    What would you be willing to pay for a paint color?

    I was willing to pay $2,500 for a custom paint color on my 2019 VW Golf R. Unfortunately, VW canceled the program after having my order for months. The Spektrum program had some great colors. https://media.vw.com/releases/1065
