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)

What if the configurator had options that were obviously so cartoonishly unrealistic that it was clearly for fun and not meant to be taken too seriously, thus freeing Scout from any sort of legal obligation to actually give any expectation that they were really going to one day provide the things being built? Basically, you’d be making weirdo video game fantasy Scouts, but with some plausibility. That might actually be kind of fun. Like THE BODY IS A VINTAGE SCOUT II AND IT BETTER HAVE MANUAL LOCKERS BUT IT IS ALL ELECTRIC BUT ALSO HAS A 75 GALLON DIESEL TANK AND IT TOWS 100,000,000 POUNDS AND IT HAS A DANA AXLE AND IT’S YELLOW OR GO EFF YOURSELF and so on and so forth.

Ha! I think that’s would be crazy and fun as long as YELLOW is an option. But the right YELLOW not the wrong YELLOW!

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?
Hell yes!

Hopefully when they launch the configurator, it doesn't include manual locking hubs.

Pete's sake.
So now you managed to drag that conversation into a second thread-com’on man!
I was wondering what the hell yall were talking about until I saw Thill08s burner account posting about those freaking hubs.
