New Scout Traveler Concept Added - Mountainside Theme

  • 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 really like the “Mountainside” a lot - a personal favorite (hope it will be a selection?). Wondering if it helps solve the “too-wide-for-me” setup that may appear on other Traveler models - I live near a long narrow road with delivery vehicles and trucks that will cream extended side mirrors. So, does the Mountainside allow a bit narrower extended full width? (Or digital interior-placed side mirrors available as an option down the road to narrow down the total width just a bit?)
Welcome to the community! SM hasn’t said anything about Mountainside being any skinnier than the Trail-ready version, just shorter due to the lack of tire carrier. I would anticipate 79.9 body and 91 at the mirrors. The length will be reduced from 207 to 190.

Now I did ask when I went to the SC event if they knew the width with folded mirrors. They didn’t have an exact answer, other than to say probably midpoint between 79.9 and 91 so they stated 84 to 85 with the mirrors folded.

When you say digital side view mirrors do you mean no side view mirrors at all or removable somehow?

Welcome again! There’s lots and lots of info here. Enjoy!

Welcome to the community!
Probably folding mirrors is about the thinnest you’ll get with these first models…. Maybe a smaller (all the way around) in future models…

I might be wrong, but I don't think OEM's produce any vehicles with side mirrors deleted, due to local laws requiring physical side mirror(s) in order to be considered street legal.

That’s what I thought too. I think that new Cybercab thing has no side mirrors but I don’t think they actually got permission to do that.
