  • 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 know I'm late on this. Had the idea a while back and forgot to post. The glass operable pano roof would be awesome (on all vehicles), but add the feature of a motorized mesh shade that could be in the CLOSED position while driving at speed. I love open air driving but hate getting my head baked.

A great example of something similar but manual is the Bestop Sunscreen for the Jeep Sunrider front soft top.

The shade would also be the way to darken the roof when closed. But more of a diffuser than total block.

My daughter's Jeep Renegade shade was a perfect amount of light diffusion when in the closed position. But couldn't be closed with the roof open.

I was hoping it would be like the Rivian where some of them have the option to have the glass that darkens with the push of a button, but it doesn’t sound like that’s gonna happen.

I agree we need something. I have my ClearLidz on my Wrangler 365 days a year and it’s tinted but it’s been hot this last week with the weather so bad here.
