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.
Sorry for the bulk drop! I just finally had time to go through the tour pics and saw a good spot to insert them
If you have questions about what they are doing I can try to answer. It was a very quick tour but I remember some!
No question, but I absolutely loved the digital paint spraying. That was really awesome to see as well as how all the other photos show how in dept and rigorous the training they are doing right from the start is.
Fascinating!
Did they say anything about this mockup? It's not body-on-frame and it doesn’t appear to have solid axles, so I’m guessing it's not meant to be displays of the final Scout setup…????
I think Jamie said something in another post that it was an Audi setup and just for training purposes.
That makes sense. Sorry if it’s a redundant question; I haven’t read this entire thread.
No worries. It’s been a lot of posts the last couple days.
The yellow is them doing the painting and the other colors are the grade they get. Green is doing it right, blue is too thin a coat, red is too thick, and gray is going to drip soonNo question, but I absolutely loved the digital paint spraying. That was really awesome to see as well as how all the other photos show how in dept and rigorous the training they are doing right from the start is.
There’s also the computer screen in a picture before that one showing a line model where they can add and subtract the different layers of parts - it’s showing the battery and the EREV but again I don’t know if it’s the Scout or a proxy
Pretty sure that's the Traveler, nothing else has a setup like this. I stole this from you, but I'm really hoping I don't get rear-ended with the Harvester. Also, those rear frame rails look really beefy, so hopefully the towing rating has improved.
Yeah, that’s the Traveler with the Harvester button clicked.
The following is all speculation…
That fully-boxed frame is going to be a monster. My bet is that the suspension is also going to be massive. Just look at the relative size of the strut mounts.
With a suspension that robust, the extra weight of the Harvester genset aft of the rear axle may not cause much deflection in the front suspension, which means it may not impact tongue weight enough to greatly change overall towing capacity. But I bet it’ll feel more like driving an F-250 or F-350 than a Lexus SUV, especially when there’s no load. This makes me wonder if the BEV models will have slightly softer spring rates on the coilovers in the rear. If not, BEV rear passengers could be in for a bumpy ride.
The fully-boxed frame rails at the rear suggest less upfitter flexibility than I had hoped. We’ll see if that will be true of the Terra as well. It would be nice to have the rails under the bed be open C-channel, at least for the Terra.
