Growing up the family ride was a 1962 Mercury Station wagon that I always thought was massive. I had to look it up but it was 215.5" Long and 79.5" Wide. Kind of Terra size. But with a lot more seats.
Is There Any Comparison Data to Other Brands on GVW, Body Dimensions, Off-Road Angles

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 think one time we fit eight people in the car: three in the front and five in the back. It was college, we were skinnier, and it was before seatbelt laws
Our colony Park version had those seats in the way back that faced each other, plenty room for four kids. Plus the bench back seat.I think one time we fit eight people in the car: three in the front and five in the back. It was college, we were skinnier, and it was before seatbelt laws
I think they were. If you didn't need them they folded flat and in goes the luggage. We had a roof top carrier.
Rock crawling isn’t homogeneous. Depends on the trail. Wranglers are small with good turning ratios…serious rockcrawlers improve this with hydraulics. But some trails a longer wheelbase is favorable (not with tight turns or trees though, mostly).
I never knew that. I looked it up and found many photos of the Model S with rear facing seats. I also found Model 3 with what they called jump seats. But they didn't have a foot well. Learn something new everyday.
After our Scout died as my first hand-me down driver I drove a ‘78 Buick lesabre land yacht
This was at Barrett Jackson this year. I think it’s bigger than my first house. It was huge!
One thing that can make some vehicles handle like a smaller rig on the trails is Toyotas Trail Turn Assist.
Scout could add a similar feature that locks the inside tire up during a full lock turn allowing it to pivot around obstacles.
