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.
"Despite the current chaos surrounding auto tariffs, Kia is continuing with its future plans, which include finally selling a pickup in America. The Korean automaker announced the new truck during its annual Investor Day, where it also released details about what it aims to accomplish by the end of the decade.
...
We don't have any specific details about Kia's next pickup, other than it'll be based on a new EV platform. Kia CEO Ho Sung Song also reportedly said the company wants to bring a mid-size truck to the States, and it sounds like it'll be more capable off-road than the Hyundai Santa Cruz. If you like marketing lingo, Kia's future electric truck will have a "robust towing system" and "best-in-class interior and cargo space." That's all TBD, but Kia says its goal is to eventually sell 90,000 copies of the new electric truck per year. Now we just have to wait for it to actually go on sale."
It is pretty cool. I wouldn’t use it but have looked at this several times. Certainly make a van feel cool
