  • 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.

    Traveler vs. Terra - Targeted Technical Questions

    Welcome! Great questions. As others have said, and you alluded to in your post, it may be a little early to know the answers to some of them, but as we go along, Jaime and others from Scout will give us updates. I'm sure they are still testing and refining to get some of those answers. Scout...

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

    Oh, so you'll be able to select the sound of a Scout silently rusting into the ground? :ROFLMAO:

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

    One of the great things about an EV is that there's really no need for the floor in the back seat area to be anything but flat. No transmission tunnel or driveshaft to necessitate a hump in the middle of the floor. My Lightning back seat folds up and the whole back seat area floor is one big...

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

    It's super handy to be able to turn on the heated wheel, heated seats, and set the temperature to a nice warm setting from the app. Then, when you go out and get in the vehicle on a cold day, everything is nice and warm and toasty in the cabin for you. In the Ford app, if you set a departure...

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

    Welcome! I have to agree. Heated steering wheel is a game changer. I never had one before I recently got my F150 Lightning, and now that I have it I love it.

    The Garage (What did you work on today?)

    With a storm in the forecast for Tuesday that could drop 7+ inches of snow, I brought the Scout up from the "Back 40" today to get it ready for plowing duty. it had a flat tire on the right front from sitting all summer but the bead was still seated so I was able to inflate it using my small 12V...

    Current EV owners…are you staying BEV or switching to Harvester?

    ^^^ This It really is a game changer to be able to set a departure time on your phone from the warmth of your house, then walk out to a warm truck with heated seats on and warm steering wheel. I haven't even had it through the coldest part of winter yet, and already I love it. I can only...

    Current EV owners…are you staying BEV or switching to Harvester?

    Thanks to the many detailed posts on this forum by @SpaceEVDriver and others, I had a very realistic expectation of EV ownership before making the switch. It took about a day or less to get used to driving it. I can't think of anything I don't like about it, but lots of things I do like, such...

    Current EV owners…are you staying BEV or switching to Harvester?

    After owning my 2023 F150 Lightning for 2 months, the thought of going back to anything with an ICE engine seems counterintuitive to me. I can't justify adding the maintenance costs back in for something I have zero use for. I don't do any regular towing, but I do use it for truck things like...

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

    Exactly. The nice thing about having all that acceleration is that you can apply it gradually or all at once, depending on what the situation calls for. It's just nice to know you have it when you need it.

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

    I wanted to pop in and share some thoughts after a little over a month of owning the Lightning. First, the driving experience. It's the most incredible vehicle I've ever had, and I've had many. Smooth, fast, quiet, etc. All the benefits of an EV powertrain. Did I mention instant acceleration...

    Off-topic stuff…

    I had a 2004 Cadillac CTS-V when it first came out with the 400 hp corvette Z06 engine and 6 speed manual. I got less than 10k miles out of the original set of tires, but admittedly, I was checking out the readings on the lateral G meter it had among other shenanigans, so that may have had...

    EREV initial release only?

    Still optimistic for Scout and definitely keeping my reservation for now but this makes me even more glad that I bought the Lightning recently, in case the Scout BEV launch does get delayed. More time for me to pay off the Lightning and save for the Scout. After about a month of driving the...
