Blindspot Mirrors in Sideview Mirrors!

  • 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.

Hello Scout Motors THAT READS Every Suggestion!
(And seriously considers them!)


I would Suggest that Scout put Blindspot mirrors in their side view mirrors. I add them to every car. They are really cheap if added during the factory build.

My daughters have said they have saved them countless times from a collision. (I know they should turn and look but they don’t!)

I would still make the blind spot cameras with display in the dash available. However, you’re not always looking toward the dash when turning or changing lanes and I like to look in the mirrors before I signal to change lanes.

Make us pay extra for the camera view but include the cheap ‘analogue’ blind spot mirror as part of the factory build, please!

Now, about Towing with the Harvester, Dashcams (with Telephoto and cloud service) and HUD and ADBs……….

Cheers!

Towing mirrors for the win-usually. That said, they did not save me yesterday. Taking my daughter on a sleep over. She got in my truck, realized she forgot something and ran in the house. I decided to turn the truck around to make a faster get away. When I was almost through turning around, I looked back - she had taken her bag out with her and set it besides the truck (under the side view mirror). I don't think I completely ran over it - but RIP Iphone. Will tally the rest of the damage tonight or tomorrow.
Oh. Sorry to hear that and guessing her world has ended until the new phone has arrived. Or you spent too much time in the Apple core today waiting in line for Johnny Appleseed
 
Her world ends next Wednesday with school starting anyway - and she is staying with friends this weekend. We are about 1 month out of the 2025 release dates - so maybe set up her account on an old ipad for a month or so. Honestly, would rather just get her an ipad mini with cellular, she really does not need a phone. She had a hand me down-but I am happy with my phone, and my wife's phone is the current model.

Personally, I don't think tween or teen aged girls are emotionally mature enough to have Iphones. But that was because of all the fun we had with my step-daughter. Wife over rides my opinion though.

I’m glad my kids are a little older and I didn’t have to deal with all that. My kids had flip phones for a long time. Ha!
