How would you build your Scout?

  • 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.
My build is

Thanks for the confirmation. That fabric top is a big concern of mine. Might be great for 5 years or so but I just can't see how it would hold up like a glass or metal roof over the long haul or how it would manage road noise and weather insulation for that matter. I'm also concerned about the repair/replacement costs down the road. It looks really good though! So tempting. Who knows, maybe they have found a wonder material. Constant garaging might be the trick for future cabana owners. Did you get a look at the material itself? Did it appear sturdy?
It’s appears sturdy to me and I would imagine they are going to do everything they can to make sure it’s as reliable and leakproof as possible. My Scout will be garaged so I’m not as concerned. I’m trying to find a Jeep Recon with the one touch roof to test drive. An EV with an open top. There’s one on the way to the dealer near me. Let’s see if they actually call me when it gets there.
