Molle Panels or Storage Tie Point in the Sides/Top of the Frunk

  • 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.

    For me, the frunk is going to end up storing the items I want to always be in the truck but won't regularly use. Think first aid-kit, tire repair kit, recovery gear, air line kit for the compressor, etc. I would love to be able to secure these to the sides and/or lid of the frunk to keep them neatly organized and maximize the utility of the frunk.

    Looks like you're in luck. The rack shown in the attached pictures is designed just for that, allowing each Scout owner to attach gear however they see fit. My phone was dead at the end of the night to be able to take a picture of their display of these in use. Maybe one of the other members can add a picture or two of it that they were able to take. ?

    That's just one, central spot on the back. I'm talking about the rest of the sides that are just smooth plastic at this point.
     
    I would suggest the Scout design just include attachment points in the back, floor and top of the frunk. Then encourage third-party/aftermarket accessory makers to provide mounts. That will result in much wider array of mounting options so buyers can get the "system" they prefer.

    As for the sides, from looking at the pictures it doesn't look like they are flat surfaces, so adding panels there would probably be more difficult. So I don't know if mounting points there would ever get used.
     
    Welcome to the community.
    Thank You! I'm still trying to decide which model I'd like to put a deposit on. As a contractor the Terra looks like the obvious choice, but I don't only use my vehicles for work! I would also mainly use it for estimates and the occasional towing. I'm curious how the mileage will be since everything I've seen with the EV trucks show that towing drops the mileage to horrible at best.

    One of things mentioned in the reservation page is that you can change your order when they open up orders to reservation holders. So if you put a reservation on a Terra and decide (before ordering) you want the Traveler instead, you can use the Terra reservation to order a Traveler. So if you are confident you want a Scout, just pick the one you think you want now. You'll have two years to decide on the final version you want.

    Also, if you are worried about towing range, the EREV is being offered specifically to address range anxiety when towing.
