Motors, Control Arms and Ground Clearance

  • 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.
Okay, this thread needs to get back to the OP topic.

The cost of a set of portal axles for the F-150 (not the Lightning) is $25k.
I can only imagine what the cost would be for new development for a Lightning.


That’s way more than I’m willing to pay.

That does seem to be a lot. Are they the only game in town?
 
Werewolf has been making them for a while but they are in Ukraine so shipping can be tricky, and expensive.

Minimum recommended tire size with their kit is 38"

74 Weld has been making portals for King of The Hammers rigs and competitive rock crawlers for a long time, and released them for Toyotas, Jeeps and Broncos in recent years . They offer similarly priced kits as well, but they are smaller and have a little less gear reduction.

So 35" tires would probably more appropriate with those kits.
