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.
The way the garage is there’s a two door, some space and then a single door. My plan at the moment is to park it where the Jeep is now. So on the passenger side there’s quite a few feet. The passenger side you will be able to load stuff in and out easily. I do that now with the Jeep if I’m putting a bunch of stuff in and out.
The other thing I know I won’t be able to do is unload stuff out of the back in the garage. Right now I have just enough space to pull in, shut the garage door and I can open the tail gate on the jeep all the way with like 2 or 3 inches to spare. So I can have the door shut when I bring groceries and things in.

I’m thinking I’ll use the frunk for groceries. Pull in half way. Bring them in and then pull the rest of the way in. Or back in halfway if it’s a lot of stuff. I’m going to have to modify how I do things and that’s fine.

Vehicles 80" and more in width are required to have additional lighting (3 amber lights in the front, three red lights in the back). Most manufacturers try and stay under that number, which is probably why Scouts will be 79.9 inches.
Hummers are in that position. They have the additional lights.

Is it 80 inches wide? I swear my F-250 was about 90 in wide.
My 79 F150 is around 80 inches without mirrors. With mirrors it’s almost 90. I’m not too concerned about Scout. They fit the average size of an American truck.

Also this is on the website: “*Dimensions are approximate and subject to change. They may not accurately represent production vehicle sizes or all available trims and offerings.”

I’ve already been thinking which car will go next to the Scout. Luckily we have a 3 car garage so I can play car jenga to make them all fit.
jealous!
Don’t forget the doors. The Traveler will almost certainly have longer doors, which means they won’t be able to open as wide as the Wrangler’s doors. So, the Traveler’s tires will be 1.5 inches closer to whatever, but its doors are closer to the tires and its doors are longer. The Traveler’s door angle will be much shallower in a tight fit than the Wrangler's. From your photos, it doesn’t look like you’ll have an issue slipping through, but what about stuff you’re trying to load into the cabin?
And that is the issue. Having to squeeze in or not being able to at all.

And that is the issue. Having to squeeze in or not being able to at all.
I know I’m really lucky. I just went and measured and I have about 6 feet on the passenger side.

Im golden on that side, see.

Actually I wish I could park where the Supra is. I could move those trash cans and have about 3 more feet because that part of the garage bumps out.

The only issue is that door is 93 inches wide and I mean I would have to be straight on. Now I did used to park the Jeep there but the mirrors on the jeep only stick out as far as the tires on the Jeep do.

I always tell everyone. The mirrors on the Jeep are like whiskers on a cat. If they fit the Jeep fits. 😹
 
Like it’s already tight with these two, I previously used my L1 cable along the wall to be a bump stop for my door, now I can’t do that because we may occasionally need the cord to reach across to top up the volt, and the cables on the L2s are so annoying when they lay on the ground, but have no real cable management other than wrap it
