Gotta throw a wet blanket here on the parents buying Broncos and Jeeps for their kids.....Mamas, please don't let your babies drive high center of gravity vehicles. Young, inexperienced drivers are far more inclined to overcorrect in response to stimuli that more experienced drivers take in stride. They swerve sharply, skid sideways and flip over. A sedan or sports car with a lower center of gravity is much more forgiving.

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.
Yeah, the trophy wives trade in every year. I'm sure there will be some glittered up Broncos on the used market soon. So what are they driving now in your area since the Defenders got stale?Defenders have already come and gone in our beach community.
When I was a kid I wanted a Suzuki Sidekick or Samurai so bad and my dad said absolutely not. They definitely earned the nicknames Sideflip and Somersault
Years ago when I was in middle school went on a church trip to the Colorado River. One of the young leaders was driving the school bus. He went to pick up something on the floor and drifted into the other lane. Turned the wheel like you would a car and flipped the bus. We rolled down an embankment and almost landed in the river.
I second that not putting kids in high center gravity things they aren’t prepared for.
My Beach Town has resorted to BMW and Volvo. And nobody owns their cars, everyone has leases on them. Since the towns are so small. They barely drive.Defenders have already come and gone in our beach community.
They now have gravitated to the BMW X5M series.

Agree with you 100%. Worried when we had the Bronco-now she has a low sports sedan and having crawled in and out of it the past three days I can say I feel comfortable with its lower stance and center of gravity.
