Scout Concepts At LA Auto Show, November 21-30, 2025

  • 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.
Learn something new every day. Now that I know what a dead pedal is. I still don’t understand the reason for it. What have folks that drive an automatic been doing with their left foot all of these years? Especially since they put the dimmer switch on the stalk.
In my Wrangler I can’t reach to rest my foot and have it the same angle as my foot on the gas. So I just have to keep my foot flat on the floorboard and have my knee bent.

My guess is you have one and do t realize it. Most are chromed or capped. Most are just a rubber pad on an area raised on the far right left side of the driver’s footwell

Left side.

I liked the one in the Grenadier. I could reach it. That’s my problem. I like my seat back as far as possible. So if there is a dead pedal it’s hard for me to reach it in a lot of cars.
 

Watching Daniel Mac’s video. Make you say to yourself, “god damn scout has it right”. And did I hear real leather? @Jamie@ScoutMotors is there going to be legit options for all types of interior types and materials?

And by real leather? Does he mean like OG leather? Or the other types of leather? Which are more real than the pleather that’s used today.
 
So when you are online configuring your new GM product Naugahyde is one of the interior options? Or, do they have new fancy name for it to make it more appealing?
I missed spoke I think, they may still use it. They call it Vinyl Leather for Chevy. Cordaveen for Buick, and Morocceen for OldsMobile. But it seems they have started development on their own "leathers".

I did not realize that my Toyota with "leather" interior, is actually a blend of leather and vinyl. I found this out when replacing the leather seat covers in the front. The middle of the seats are leather, however the sides are faux leather. It can be difficult to tell. Often vehicles with so called leather interior are actually a mix.

My 2007 BMW was their fake leather and when we traded it in the Honda dealer had it marked as leather and I didn’t correct them. I’m sure the stuff now is even better.

Actually, the real leather broke down well before the fake leather on my seats. I like the new car smell with real leather but for the look and endurance, I would prefer all fake and not a mix.

I argued about this early on with Jamie and I’ve come around to liking faux leather. Way better now than even 5 years ago
