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.
Do that color in the street version, and I'd see a ton of these driving around the area where I live.
Gotcha. The perspective is not so much about "vegan". Cattle are a major land and water use issue. Additionally, they are a major methane producer. Now, of course, if the animals are going to be used for beef, surely use the hide as well for leather. Sheep are actually a better alternative for grazing, they can be sheared for wool, they produce beautiful merino leather when they die and mutton is pretty good.
I will not participate in making gray body color Scouts. No ma'am!
I agree! I meant the roof. What if the roof were that grey instead of the body color. I absolutely do not want any shade of grey!
Considering how many Rivians, Teslas, Land Cruisers and Lexus GXs I see driving around, I expect to see these everywhere in a few years.
Because you’d back into garage? Just curious why. Also wondering because wife’s is front passenger and scout is rear driver so one of us will need to back in. Have yet to figure out ideal spot to place the charger
Have no fear. When the Chinese lantern flies reach your state they will wipe those all out. It is their favorite and they DESTROY them
Oh, we've got plenty of them too! The news says to squish them, but failed to mention they jump and fly if you get close. There's a certain amount of irony that the invasive bug is killing the invasive trees. I'll likely be cutting all of those trees down this winter anyway. No reason to tempt the lantern flies with my nearby maples and walnuts. Hopefully they'll just leave and go find some more Tree of Heaven elsewhere.
I’m not sure they even have to name them and would prefer they don’t. Hoping this is just internal name since this is urban feel and next to the mountain
The more I think about this the more I like your point. I hope that the Scout is ubiquitous. I hope that a base model will look just as good as a fully loaded one. They need to be universally accepted and appealing no matter the demographic. Naming the models or trims gives them hierarchy and an air of exclusivity. That is not what Scout is all about.
How would the soccer mom in the school pick-up line tout that she had the most premiumest model though?
Seriously though, there are some serious keeping up with the Joneses vibes in my suburban area and I know the school pick-up line thing is real. I personally agree with you 100%, but also recognize there are plenty of people that buy the badge purely for bragging rights, moreso as a vehicle gets more expensive.
Well, that is fine for other vehicles. I certainly hope Scout is different. Funny story about that scenario. I did a heavy spruce up/light restoration on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ about 2 years ago. One of my co-workers bought it for his wife. She likes it, but was starting to think she wanted something more modern. Then school started and the thumbs up and positive comments from the other mom's and dad's completely changed her mind. She still has it.How would the soccer mom in the school pick-up line tout that she had the most premiumest model though?

Front passenger side is def where the charging port should be. In your case it sounds like one of the cars will have to back in. Or, there used to be lots of talk of mounting a charger in the ceiling, maybe with the plug on a swing arm to reach anywhere. Anyway, it appears in this case Toyota got it right (eventually).
2000-2001 were the best XJ years in my opinion, good choice!
Hopefully the Scout interiors end up close to what we've been seeing. Let the vehicles speak for themselves!
I'm definitely on the side of just letting us pick our options/packages with no names, stamps or badges.
Speaking second hand here, so I may be off-base.
The main criticism against using natural leather in products is that the chemicals used to process the material and the by-products of the leather makers was a significant source of pollution. Prior to the US EPA's Clean Water Act (1972), leather tanneries and manufacturing plants would dump untreated toxic byproducts into the ground and waterways. While the law stopped that, it took a long time and a lot of government money for the cleanup and environmentalists have a long memory.
Regarding the leather itself, I agree. The products used to treat and tan the leather have come a long way. They problem is moreso the cows themselves.
