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.
Still liking the platform concept on the Terra, but will offer a few un-solicited suggestions - as I have a similar platform on my Jeep, and have played with it a bit. I really like being able to stand on mine. As it is designed now - I really don't think that would probably be a good idea. First problem is that the slats don't appear to have any support other than the ends. A foot in the center of one of the planks will probably created a bit of deflection. Mine has several crossbars under it (that connect to the side channels) to prevent that (which force the platform to be a little taller and less clean looking). Mine also has smaller slat spacing (the slats are about the same width, but with less gap). I really wish the company that made mine would have had an option to add a few more slats to decrease that spacing more. 1" gaps would be easier to walk on than 5" gaps - more of a deck. Plus it would shade the roof more from the sun.
One other thing - since mine platform is supported by the cross braces - it was possible to give it a bit of overhand front the pillars. Now I have 2 of them, because I realized I really liked it the next size wider. While going the next size wider, probably also made it the next size longer as well. If I get a chance, I will take a tape measure to the old and new ones and confirm that. Likewise, could post a old picture of mine, but I really don't know if it is the old or new rack without confirming first (I also lowered the towers during the change, which does change the looks a bit, getting it closer to the height yours already is). Bonus of the overhang - I can rest a portable ladder on the platform without hitting the sides of the roof.
Anyway, wider, longer, cross supports, more slats - more practical if not as pretty. Oh, forgot one other reason I upgraded to wider - It gave me more room on the light bar - I went with KC lights, it let me add 2 more IIRC.

Finally the pull out work tray. Ive been looking to see it. I feel like its barely shown. It's like the Forgotten middle child for the Scouts.
The last time I think ive seen it was in the reveal pictures.
The work out tray is nice to see. I really hope that comes to full production. Don’t know if regulations would hinder that.
