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.

10K. The base model must have a lot of good stuff. Let's think positive thoughts.
Exactly! We are thinking positive thoughts and our motto is faith and patience! Faith and patience!!

Im with you, but it does technically say less than $60,000.
There are a lot of numbers under 60,000
Six hundred bucks works for me! Thank you for the subsidy!
We aren’t putting bad vibes into the universe!! Nope, nope, nope. Happy sunshine and rainbows!Cynical Generation X has no room for optimism!

Doesn't bother me so far... I guessed I'll end up close to $70k anyway. But we also don't know how the base model will be equipped yet.
That was always the difference with federal *and* available state incentives depending on the state you live in.
I’m not really counting on “incentives” of any kind, as nice as they would be. That mid $80’s number for all the goodies is about what I expect, maybe even more. But that figure gives me the vapors! If I can get 100% of it saved by the time Scouts are available I’ll do it. If not, I’ll enhance my calm and take a more realistic view of my actual “needs”. In any scenario there is absolutely no other vehicle (of any kind) i would spend that amount of money on. That should tell you how much of an emotional/nostalgia purchase this will be for me ;-P
I am sure there will also be a Scout Accessory Store to buy some things you may not have had the scratch for at the initial purchase.
Some things cant be installed later like air suspension, interior trim, and the Harvester system, but you will probably be able to buy tire carriers, bumpers, winch system, wheels/tires, roof racks, etc afterwards.
I may take that approach and spec it with the selections I cant install later on in my driveway, and add the other stuff onto it over time.
Okay all I have a question. I think it’s the “base model” descriptor that’s giving visions of a stripped down base model. But this is a $57 to $59,000 base model.
I have been trying to think of another car that’s in a comparable class that’s that price for a “base” model.
What do you all think?

What do you all think?
The Sequoias start around $62k
Expeditions start at around $62k
Chevy Tahoe start at around $56k
Land Cruisers start at around $56k
And base models of those vehicles don’t feel stripped down do they? I have never been in base models of any of those.
I don’t know about the cords or chevies but the other two start out with a fairly nice package setup
Generally decent tech with possibly a smaller screen, cloth seats, limited color selections, limited wheel and tire selections, less safety features, a few less drive modes, maybe no spare tire, mediocre sound systems that usually lack a subwoofer, boring but effective with the same warranty as models that cost $30k more.
On the plus side they typically have the highest tow and payload ratings.
Random fact: The base model is the only trim you can option the Tahoe in with a bench seat up front for a total of 9 seats.

Previously in this thread, I mentioned the MOR-EV state rebate program which gives a $4,000 rebate but the vehicle price has to be under $55,000. I recently did more research and found out that the program has a rebate for trucks called MOR-EV Trucks. The Ford Lightning is currently on the list of eligible vehicles.
If Scout can reach out to the folks in charge of that program prior to launch and get the Scouts approved that would be great. The only thing is that the way the rules are currently written, it might only be the Terra that would qualify unless the Traveler ends up having a GVWR between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds. Makes the case for them having a really big, heavy battery.
The MOR-EV Trucks rebate is $7,500 instead of $4,000, and the vehicle price can be up to $80,000. If you qualify under a certain income level, there's an adder that bumps your rebate up an additional $1,500.
Pick-Ups and Class 2b Vehicles | MOR-EV.org
MOR-EV Trucks offers $7,500 rebates for Class 2 pick-up trucks with a GVWR between 6,000 and 10,000 pounds or other vehicles with a GVWR between 8,501 – 10,000 pounds.
