CYURE GOES TO CHICAGO 12/10/2025

  • 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 peeps I’m starting this thread in anticipation of tomorrow! Im thinking positively that the weather will hold. The Traveler will be in front of the Marriott. I’m so excited to see Pacific Mist up close and in person. My husband has his camera batteries charged up and we both were able to take the day off work.


I’ll take you along on our journey like I did for Nats.

So we are 128 miles from
Chicago. The weather can be very different up there because they get the lake effect and we don’t get that here in Central Illinois. We are forecast to have a tiny bit of rain at about 1 in the morning and a high of 40.

Chicago on the other hand.

The plan is to leave at 8 am, which really means 8:30. 😹

It’s Scoutmas Eve again and I’m so excited! Come on weather gods, be kind!!
Is the paint cured enough to be outside in those elements? You 2 are really brave to adventure all the way to Chicago in that weather. Make sure you bring said charged batteries . . .😜

@cyure what style seating position height like? Is it up tall like a true American truck from back in the day? Or more low down like a SUV and truck from the 2000s?
The seats are adjustable so wouldn’t they be able to do both?

And speaking of adjusting in addition to back and forth and up and down it would be nice if they tilted like BMW seats do. Also lumbar support that goes up and down and inflates. Please and thank you.

Its more about the height they have the seats mounted at. Like modern trucks and SUVs seats are mounted similar to how a sedan is, low to the floor board. Older trucks and suvs they had the floor board raised up by 3 or so inches and it made it perfect so that you can see pretty much to the end of the hood. In newer trucks you can't see the front of the hood you see the front half of it, and it leaves you blind.

BMW bottom tilt is a ridiculous feature thats probably the best thing ever. It gives the best thigh support. The X3 i was testing had it.

Having sat in it in NYC you can pretty much see over end but there is a bit of the curve/swoop at very front that is deceiving and not knowing how far bumper will project in front is will be fair reasonable to understand the front vertical plane. That said if it has Birds Eye camera during parking and beep sensors seeing over very front won’t be quite as critical
 
Good morning from the frozen tundra! I swear. It’s freezing here.

I’m starting today with a tidbit I learned from a lovely SM team member. I was admiring the wheels. These are may favorite so far. I saw the post someone did from LA where they pointed out the wheel has the coordinates of the factory. By the way, I really hope they keep that. And it makes it to production.

This team member also stated that the middle of the wheel has a texture to it and they imagined the grooves in a vinyl record when making it. The outer rim of the wheel has glossy sections to provide contrast.

This is the best picture he got that shows the subtle texture and it does remind me of a vinyl record. I just love their attention to details!

I love this wheel but I wonder if the wheels were machined and that use subtle lines were left and someone said -“it looks like a vinyl record” and it stuck. Design tends to work that way-some cool mistakes or unintended result happens and designers spin it with a story 🤣. Either way it’s a cool detail

Meh-maybe they’ll create something unique for extra storage in the bed of the Terra
The tool box looks good interesting, and if it mounts on the rails in the bed I might actually be willing to buy one in the end, but I’ve come to prefer a good bed over that seals and locks stuff in the bed, but the swing out from the traveler could look good on the Terra and useful for “overlanding”

Or how about an outline of a barn with the big sliding door open and a Scout vehicle parked inside so you only see the front silhouette.
I question forcing a detail unless it works perfectly and as a BEV and the original I think simpler is better. You could always get a vinyl decal made to stick on to look like gas cover. One thing I liked on Bronco was the front letters and flexibility with them. We debated changing ours while we had it from BRONCO to ARCHER and back to my bow pics she was going to do the letters in a color to match her bow.
So maybe the scout script signature could have color select LED to make the signature whatever color accent an owner wants.

Good morning peeps. Here’s a shot that shows the handle on the tire carrier/back pack carrier. Also the back pack has handles on other side to carry it. My husband kept calling the back pack “the cooler”.

I love the graphic on the Harvester door. I’m hoping we get something for the BEV. Not necessarily on the door, but somewhere.

I proposed this a long time ago and I cannot find the thread. IH had a concept tractor called "Electrall" and it had a really cool logo. Maybe Case IH would allow Scout to use it. Read about it here and you can also see the graphic. https://octanepress.com/content/bri...nqtlg4KMTnhEZD-hLFopy5MDhan8P2KrznmAWTd1axLsk
