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.
Just don't be like my MIL who decides she knows better than the sensors and hits the bushes on the side of her carport while she turns around anyway...
We used our mirrors and rubber-necked… like I do in my school bus.What did we do without backup screens?
They make a lot of sense in many places. I like them a lot. But, we also have completely overgrown trucks and SUVs that Japan does not have on their roads. I’m not sure the manufacturers could stuff in enough safety features to make them able to save the occupants in an accident with a modern 3/4 ton truck.
You know me, I always have questions, how was Smart Car able to do this? Those are tiny cars.
They used a similar concept to the Halo in F1, to just barely meet safety.
Maybe Scout Motors future will play a pivotal role in a US manufacturing boom and the national economy like IH did in the past when they were producing the IH-120.
"...Illinois farmer’s restored International Harvester truck showcases the company’s pivotal role in Uncle Sam’s manufacturing boom. Like other machinery manufacturers of its era, International Harvester pivoted its assembly lines toward the Allied armies’ World War II battle effort
At its peak, more than half the company’s manufacturing output went toward military machines, including cargo trucks. That manufacturing momentum carried into the post-war era, when U.S. agriculture surged in its productivity. Buoyed by returning veterans, acreage dramatically increased. So did the national economy. It was a golden age for vintage vehicles, including many made by International Harvester.
Those bygone machines don’t just live on in my classic car memories. They’re representative of a manufacturing era that launched the United States into its status as the global economic leader. Thus, Cohorst’s restored IH L-120 has a place in the storied annals of U.S. farm equipment history.
It’s a reminder of how much International Harvester was doing to contribute to the country back in those days, post-World War era and into the Korean War era, too — making a lot of trucks for farms and industries, and for Uncle Sam,” Armstrong said..."

Volvo's CEO Just Said The Quiet Part Loud About 2035's Gas Car Ban
If you don't want to read the entire article it boils down to this."For now, at least, Volvo doesn't seem inclined to take the easy way out. And Samuelson is certainly aware of the sales momentum around Chinese-made cars in Europe. If you give people a reason to break up with gasoline, they will do it—and if Volvo or Polestar can't figure that out, somebody else will. “If Europe doesn’t take the lead in this transformation, be rest assured, other countries will do it for us," Lohscheller added."
Love a little sarcasm in the morningI think they are called Kittens.
I may be in the minority, but I think the purple on Rivian looks great! I'd definitely consider it. But I also just like the inclusion of some exciting/bold colors besides just the neutrals, blue, and sometimes red.
Agreed! I think we need more unique colors and a deep purple is a fun way to go. Not sure I would throw it on the R1T, but on the R1S (with black wheels as well) I think it looks really good.
Someone called it "Purple Range" but I think the official color name is "Borealis". A "deep, dark metallic plum, with deep black tones"

I just started a thread about this. So excited!
