  • 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 my car’s built-in solar panels did for me today

    Is is crazy, but it is only from 4-7pm M-F and the tradeoff is extremely cheap electricity at all other times. So if you can structure your household to use minimal electricity for 3 hours per day 5 days a week, you can save some money. It's tough since that is the hottest time of day and...

    What my car’s built-in solar panels did for me today

    Sounds like you're with APS and on the same plan I'm on with 4-7pm being peak demand. Tangent but your comment just made me chuckle. Last night I had to be the nitpickey husband because I "caught" my wife overriding our HVAC automation which supercools until 3:59pm allowing the HVAC to remain...

    What my car’s built-in solar panels did for me today

    I like it. My coworkers dd Fisker Ocean has the solar roof which purportedly adds up to 2,000 miles of range per year here in AZ if the vehicle is parked outside all day. That's about 8 miles per work day. That's not nothing.

    Make a trail and more comfortable interior options.

    This is all very interesting. My '17 Grand Cherokee Hemi Trailhawk has adjustable height air suspension. There is an entry/exit mode which is the lowest setting, and I think 3 or 4 other settings up to Off Road II which is max ride height. It automatically lowers itself to entry/exit when...

    What will you typical cargo look like in your Scout?

    Occasionally - golf clubs, camp chairs, large dog crate. Permanent cargo - portable compressor if there's not one baked into the vehicle, tire plug kit, small tool bag.

    Will Scout Offer a Premium Audio Option?

    What? I can't hear you. LOL

    Trail Side Fixes?

    I think of "24/7 Roadside Assistance" as changing a flat, sending a tow truck, etc. Not as sending a Scout certified tech out to repair your EV while you wait.

    Why the door handles/locks should not be purely electric...

    Love it. This is just one more reason why I feel like Scout has an excellent handle on what they can make electric / electronic (new school) and what they can keep mechanical (old school) to create a perfect balance that will attract a wide audience of buyers.

    Will Scout Offer a Premium Audio Option?

    Not completely true. I have a premium sound system in my old open air Wrangler. Sounds fantastic. Just have to turn it up really, really, really loud.

    Optional 37” Tires

    I have a few wheeling buddies who rock Treps. They all love them. So I'd say they're quite practical for a trail rig. ;)

    Optional 37” Tires

    Actually, with 50s, you can lose a lot of whatever the weakest link in the drivetrain is lol.

    Make Hybred engine option with bigger gas tank and the abilty to recharge battery when vehicle is sitting.

    Scout has stated that the Harvester will be able to charge the batteries while the vehicle is parked.

    Scout Traveler SUV Green Off-Road Concept

    I like the overall package - black 18s, running boards, roof rack, bumpers with bull bar and winch / mount. My take is that this would likely be a package a lot of people would opt for, even if just because it's a cool appearance. I think it would be beneficial for it to be available as a...

    Offroad Feature Request: Front Dig

    Yes indeed. I believe that Scout will be a brand that eventually has robust aftermarket support, maybe sooner rather than later. I'd love to see venerable Warn hubs on a Scout.
