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.
Wow. Glad Scout didn’t let those idiots in the demos
I’m glad Scout just continues to show the UI and what they will look like. No hands on playing with interior. I like the whole Show Car Concept. Not a media car.
Agreed. Scout having them there is great for the public to see and especially at one of the largest automotive shows in North America. Still hoping they come to Miami
I like the idea of doing more festivals than car shows.
I agree with you on this. Car shows create too much visual override for the brain and I think it makes a vehicle like Scout less interesting. Festivals, CES and outdoor shows would be a great source of buyer interaction when not just going to see 100’s of cars. If it’s an 8 day a week vehicle and a multi-tool, put it out to the public that uses those tools-not a car show for gawking passersby that don’t take the time to learn and appreciate. They just want a pic of themselves sitting in a new vehicle to post on social media
I hope they do Nats again too. Seeing all the vintage Scouts next to the new ones was awesome and you just feel the heritage being there.
And in St. Louis at the Gateway Arch. I can’t think of anything more iconic for the Scouts than to be shown at the jumping off point for the American West.
I’m for a Philly show with all the history and the location of the pre-Benj confirming electricity in nature with his kite
The Jeep Recon Has a Problem the IH Scout Solved in the 1970s
User-removable doors are a fun Jeep feature, but the Recon's execution looks wrong. Scout had a similar problem 50 years ago—its solution might still work.

I bet a lot of the Recon look has to do with meeting crash safety requirements.

At least in "The Drive" article, the author did more than complain. He suggestion for the panels is a good one. Hopefully someone at Jeep will make sure that the right people see it and put some serious thought into the author's suggestion.
“the Recon doesn’t look like a fun, free-wheeling Pixar prop vehicle the way a Wrangler does with its doors off. It looks like a second-gen Jeep Liberty that’s been harvested for parts at a junkyard.”
