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.
Two speeds ON & Off.
When the regen associated with one pedal driving is too strong, it becomes much harder to smoothly feather the pedal just right so you don’t have that on/off effect, making it much more likely that your passengers will get sick. Easing way up on the regen settings and having drivers use the gosh darned brake pedal the way god intended would probably go a long way towards easing this issue.

Thats is pretty cool looking. It seems it was designed to be a drift vehicle.

That’s why it’s been so hard for me to find something I like. I want my tire carrier. I was so happy when I saw the Scout had one.
The aftermarket has hundreds of different types of tire carriers.


I added one to our last Lexus GX460.

There are definitely options if a manufacturer doesnt offer one.

You can also get stuck with certain wheel offsets and tire sizes with factory carriers, and many aftermarket ones support a wider range of wheels and tires.

I have a question about this. You have just added all that weight to a hatch that lifts up. Do you have. To reinforce the hinges? Make any other modifications?
