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.
My husband did a great job, as usual. Give him something to shoot and he will stay there until he has taken pictures of all of it! I have so so so so many more.
600 pictures. Man it is going to be like Christmas morning for a month around here with daily photos. I like it!
I feel like it was a verbal made at the reveal but it’s been 6 months so I may be wrong. I’m almost positive I heard it somewhere just forgetting who said it
I agree but @cyure
has a good thought by doing a lighter tone on tone plaid because I always prefer a lighter ceiling color. Maybe SM can do a lighter colored one as well
I honestly think he has close ups of just about everything. He’s still going through everything and as he sends them to me I’ll get them posted.
Okay observation. In all the picture I saw of the Traveler I thought it was body color meets roof color. That’s not what I saw Saturday. I noticed it on the back quarter panel. So the windows have black frames. Then the very back window is tinted. Then beyond that there’s a strip of black between the body color and the roof color. And the strip of black carries around onto that little spoiler on the lift gate.
So my question for SM is am I correct? For example if I got a yellow Traveler would there be a black demarcation line so to speak between the body color and the roof color? So yellow body, black on windows/molding piece, then white roof.

@cyure
This is a great question. Land Cruiser has this to seperate the roof lines. On another note, this image captures the flake and brings out the color.
I suspect this is designed this way to allow for the two paint colors without oodles of masking and multiple paint booth passes. But maybe I’m overthinking it and it’s for another reason. It is interesting though as I never picked up on that before
I believe I read something or saw a video clip about 37”s fitting by removing the fender liners.
Which would incredible if it’s true.
Its honestly a little embarrassing as to what lengths and parts are required to fit 35” tires on most Toyotas/Lexus’s.
Even stuffing 33”s without rubbing typically requires massaging fender liners with heat guns, suspension lift, pushing the front wheels forward with aftermarket upper control arms, and cutting the frame at the body mount and capping it with a plate you have to weld on. You also have to smash a pinch weld on the firewall with a sledge hammer.
Oh, and factor in dropping another $3k on new differential gears if you go beyond 33” tires to correct your final drive ratio.
If Scout manages to let you toss on 37”s by just removing a few screws and plastic liners I will be thoroughly impressed, though I’m curious how that will work with the optional air suspension package.
I’m a little skeptical though about those fitting, and look forward to Scout confirming what will be supported down the road and if warranty comes into play with bigger meats.
My previous vehicle had 34”s and the 3 vehicles before it all had 35” tires.
My current daily has 31” tires and they can get me up about 95% of the same obstacles I did on the bigger tires.
You only gain 1” of ground clearance moving from 35”s to 37”s and it usually costs thousands of dollars (and voiding your warranty in a big way) to do it right.
Im kind of at a weird crossroads in my life where I want the extra rubber for capability and looks, but my practical side wants smaller sizes for better efficiency and range.
@cyure Thank you again for the photos.
Your smile is so wholesome. You really do look like a kid on Christmas morning.
Also stoked you found a yellow one!
