Poll: Would you use a Scout configurator tool if pricing and details are not finalized yet?

  • 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.

Should Scout release a configurator tool before preorders are available?

  • Yes, I would really like to play with it while I wait

  • No, I would prefer for colors, packages, and pricing to be finalized

  • GET OFF MY LAWN! (Im just here to see the results)

Results are only viewable after voting.

When I am bored I play with Builder/Configurator tools on websites like Ford, Chevy, and Rivian.

In order to keep the hype and interest going, it would be awesome to be able to play around with it and experiment with different builds.

Slate has a pretty fun one on their website and they still arent taking orders or providing pricing yet.

Scout could start with some basic things they know are already decided/confirmed and add other things as time goes on.

What do yall think?

I'd like that as long as everything on it is finalized. It would be disappointing if something was on a configurator that didn't make it to final production if it was something I was looking forward to.

I did give an option for that. You may want to change your vote.


Edit: Wait i think I get what you are saying. IF something is added you want it to be finalized.
I doubt we would get that kind of absolute guarantee so far out. It would be tentative at best.

Yeah, I'd like it available before anything is finalized, but I don't want them to have an option on the configurator that might not be available come release, something like that I'd rather just leave off and then be surprised when it's there come the actual release.

Okay so what if we had a log in and could save all our visualizer builds and then when the configuration tool became live it would flip over to that and the prices would automatically populate.

Love the idea I’ve the configuration tool but to echo others I would want some options shown finalized like color, interior trim etc.

Also can’t wait to build too many different versions and get the “We’re sorry you have reached the maximum number of saved configurations.” message! 🤣

That’s my major concern as well and probably SM hesitation. Heaven forbid I bring up Scott mentioning an unknown final tow weight and the forum went nuts. This seems like another opportunity to frustrate potential buyers-even though I would enjoy it. If nothing else, a new color poll and maybe a bunch of REAL color samples for us to vote on to give them better ideas what the community is interested in?
