Just verifying your Lighting timing. I’m getting 2 years and 11 months-not 11 months-is a date off or your timeframe? Not nitpicking you-just trying to understand which is correct. Thanks

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 mistake.
I mixed the announcement of plans for a BEV pickup (2019) with the reveal of the truck (2021).
I went back and edited the post.
Thank you sir. Helps it make a bit more sense.
As additional reference Ford announced the current Bronco in early January 2017 and didn’t go to production until early-ish 2021 so that’s 4 years and Ford was established with plant/production space so I do t think Scout is off at all

Agreed - whatever ball was dropped is a giant mystery to me. Some people seem to be buying-in to the SPAM articles all over the internet - most of which are just pay-to-play click-baiters looking for eyeballs... That is the only thing I can think of. I will believe what Scout tells me (not a poorly sourced article with nothing official from SM).
Keep in mind that we don't even have a working factory yet. It is still very early days for Scout Motors, and Scout (like any company would do prior to releasing actual production specs and product information) has always said the following:
- Initial production targeted to start in 2027 based on current projections, and is subject to change. The anticipated production date is an estimate and may be affected by various factors. Actual availability may differ.
- Simulated models and concept vehicles with options shown throughout. Animations shown are for illustrative purposes only and do not depict the actual product. Production model may vary and reflect market differences.
Lastly, I think Scout is aiming for authenticity with the brand and the company. I see an ethos of trust and accountability in all that they are doing - that seems front and center. That doesn't mean that they won't change anything. I believe that if they do decide to make any material shifts, they will be forthright with any changes to the production plans (if / when any changes may be decided upon). Why? They have a playbook, they have seen what has worked and what won't work, they want to build trust not take it away. Scout is under the microscope for sure, and there's too much at stake for them to act like they are launching a Cybertruck.
