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.
I agree. Here Scout is trying to generate a detox mode to go dark because they listened to us but Porsche is going the opposite direction-hmmm!
I suspect it’s going to be the same S58 with Mild Hybrid Tech. I can’t wait to see it.
INCOMING RANT
We rented a 2026 Ford Expedition Max this week for a project and IT WAS AWFUL.
The dash was on a “shelf” pretty far from the driving position, and the steering wheel had freaking touch pads like the old OG iPods. They had “buttons” that would light up under the pads but there were no tactile buttons. So great. I have to look down at my thumbs when I wanted to set the cruise control or play music. That’s totally safer!
They had to use a Squircle steering wheel to see the dash and it took some adjustment as well for low speed parking lot maneuvers. Speaking of adjustments, you have to use the steering wheel pads to select the steering wheel adjustment. The steering column has nothing on it.
Way less physical buttons too. There was just a small row of them below the dash, and a shifter knob along with the volume knob, because why not, let’s just make it even more unintuitive.
They are trying to copy Tesla so bad and it’s only redeeming quality are probably the most comfortable seats I’ve ever sat on.
But I hated the whole experience and look forward to returning that one. Ford engineers have lost their minds!
So haptic pads-similar? That is dumbest thing I’ve heard of for a steering wheel
All I’m gonna say is no… it’s a new type, utilizing a new spark plug design.

It’s hard to explain.
You have to tap a center button to bring up the menu for each pad on the dashboard to physically see each function because the lights turn off, swipe around the pad to select the thing you want, select it by clicking the center button or clicking on the pad in that area.
They have a smooth surface so it’s hard to tell where my thumbs were without placing them on the center button first. The swiping wasn’t smooth. It was frustrating for on the fly adjustments.
Cruise control adjustments require tapping at the top or bottom of the left pad. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn’t. I also couldn’t set cruise if my foot was still pressing the accelerator.
Felt too busy, complex and unintuitive.
So glad that Scout is retaining dedicated physical buttons.
Hopefully @Jamie@ScoutMotors will be gracious enough to let me take a close look at the interiors tomorrow

I rented an expedition max last year (the prior version) and I thought that one was nice. This one looks a lot worse and not an upgrade.
It’s a much different experience in my opinion. We rented a 2024 Expedition for a a week last month, and it was just fine. Had zero complaints.
Everything had dedicated buttons and the tech was still useful.
I am not sure this is the vibe that soccer moms and everyday people are wanting when they buy an Expedition.
It will be interesting to see some long term opinions on them.
Well enjoy your first “hit”-it’s addictiveIt’s hard to explain.

. And the Ford sounds terribly poorly designed
Is that a schnauzer too? Don’t you have a different avatar/image before? Why does everyone have Schnauzers on this forum. Miss my family’s schnauzers growing up
Because Schnauzers are the bestest girls and boys.
It is, he is a Giant Schnauzer. My avatar before was just the default “C”. We used to have a Mini Schnauzer cross with a Westie (a Wauzer) but she passed away at the end of last year.
I know, they must be the official Scout dog.
Maybe once we have our scouts we can connect and you can bring him along. We had minis. I like the giants just as much
Sounds good, he loves going for car rides, sometimes he just goes into the garage and stands by the car waiting for us to take him for a ride.
You are the third Schanuzer. I have a mini, her name is Freddie. Then @maynard has a standard named Kona and now your giant! All three types represented. Any other Schnauzers out there???
And I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s so hard to lose a pet. They truly are members of the family.
