Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

  • 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.
That would be cool. Ford does that with the Bronco. https://www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us...off-roadeo-adventure-driving-school-in-tennes
The Explorer school you mentioned is track-based, not off-road. The ST is a performance SUV.
I’m all for Bronco and we never did it prior to selling it but are there really that many people wanting to track test their Explorers? I get the offroad experiences for SUvs and when I did my BMw track experience that made sense but how many people are going to push their eExplorer to that limit? Kinda scares me people will do this. The roll over risk after the fact seems like it would rise in incidents. But what to I know. I did BMW and their driver put us through a reverse to forward 180 degree snap and spin maneuver-which was awesome. Until the 32 year old in the vehicle started asking very specific questions like he was running home to try it the next day. Always wondered if he did and what happened 😂. To each there own!

Honestly it makes me think of the driving school my daughter did in the police academy. They do all that in SUVs. Forwards and backwards. They told her she drove better backwards. 😹

There’s definitely a time and place but teaching general drivers scares me but hey-as long as I’m not there when they roll it, no harm no foul from my POV
