I don't think we would cancel a reservation just because what you want isn't available. It is still early for me to know the exact customer flows yet. Let's see as we get closer.

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.
Like Blue/Grey - modern nantucket-blue-metallicSo long as it’s modern Siam yellow I have no problem with that. But please push the brighter colors to start and save the neutrals since so many members are looking for modern takes on the retro colors
Yeah, I thought I knew what kind of color(s) I wanted, but then I saw this thread: https://community.scoutmotors.com/threads/scout-ii-restoration-updates-colton-stevens.1520/ and now I want that color!Like Blue/Grey - modern nantucket-blue-metallic
under 60k is the carrot, they dangle it out there for all to see and then come the options, which we have no idea what will be what, why we dont know is the hype......bottomline if you want this thing tricked out it will be in the 80's,which I have no problem with, just give me the opportunity to get what options I want,i.e. heads up,ACC,massage seats etc etc...and those who want the base 60k,that will be their choice....
I think people need to come back down to earth.
What other vehicle are we comparing it to for the same price range with the same standard features like a rear locker?
I think people were fantasizing while going all their fantasy features would be on the base vehicle. We don't know the standard features.
The Terra as we understand it and the Lightning are very similar. They are nearly identical in size. They both have rear lockers. The Lightning has independent suspension, the Scout will have a solid rear axle and may have air suspension as an option. The range is very similar.The Lightning Lariat at $77k starting price is probably the closest to the Scout as many of us have imagined it.
I’m onboard for that. I struggle because my first scout was the butter/siam yellow tone but I’d love a good teal blue or blue gray (our Bronco was the azure gray which we called worn denim blue) and either of those would make my blue eyes look that much betterLike Blue/Grey - modern nantucket-blue-metallic
. So if they can nail a vintage blue I’d struggle between the two. Right color soft teal and I’d probably jump on that
Yeah-Colton’s turned out great. Little more gray than I would like but his is a killer looking scout and honestly-pretty similar in tone to the Azure gray on the broncos
I agree but do hope low $80’s will get it done for most typical upgrades or I do fear SM will lose a lot of buyers. I’m likely to tap out if it gets beyond $82K and I really don’t want to spend that much. I’m thinking $15-$18K in most option builds without air suspension and winches and big ticket items. That will likely land it at $75K range which I’d feel much better about. It’s a tough situation because you can go get an ICE equivalent in a Land Cruiser or similar and be nicely loaded at $75K so above that it just has to be a VERY compelling vehicle as features and comfort and ease of use are concerned. Just my opinion though-Scouts can’t just be for the wealthy or they’ll never succeed
And Im still hoping for us drivers where our vehicle is our pavement princess but we love love love the off road look and peace of mind those features bring that we can get a toned down off road trim. A Rubicon versus a Rubicon X so to speak. Or a 4Runner TRD OFF-ROAD versus 4Runner TRD PRO. I don’t need winches and air compressors, but I would love steel bumpers and 35s!
If you dont need the Off Road Package, a front locker, sway bar disconnect, air suspension, steel bumpers, a winch, etc., it may be better to buy a low trim model and wait for a Bilstien lift kit for it to come out and pair it with your choice in wheels and tires so you can achieve the look you are going for, for a lot less money.
Thanks for that idea. The one thing I do really want from your list tho is steel bumpers. I have them on my Wrangler and I really like not having to worry about dings or dents. Heck I even had my rear bumper coated with truck bed liner so it matches the texture on my rock sliders. Ha! Oh and I want rock sliders rather than a step. I think it’s makes the Traveler look more finished.
We dont know all of them, but we do know some of them.
A rear locker as you mentioned will be standard as well as basic coilover suspension.
We also know they are coming with Community UX, four wheel drive, and Scout app integration.
The Silverado EV Trail Boss is another one I would throw in the mix. The lower trim version with no options is $72k. They dont even come with a rear locker on the $88k Max Range version.
There is a non-zero chance you will be able to purchase the factory steel bumpers later on if you dont need the entire package.
Not sure how sliders will work yet. The rocker panels have a user replaceable plastic cover so it may require modifying those or adding specific ones for slider integration later on.
Agreed.
One thing that hasn't been stated anywhere I've seen is whether there will be only one battery option for the BEV. I wouldn't be surprised if the <$60k trim comes with a smaller battery with 270 miles range or so. That's typically the way vehicles have been advertised: with top trims and "starting at ..." For the bottom trim.
I believe this has come up before, but this is all we know officially.
It appears at this time the BEVs will one have one pack size since they dont say "Up To".
The variance for each one is most likely due to Terra being physically longer and Jamie has said there is more space for batteries on that model.
So long as they don’t hit you with warranty void for doing a lift kit, etc.. which they shouldn’t. We were told we were OK on new Bronco but even that I questioned. We tried to get dealer to put on a lift and they didn’t want the risk so then we questioned it in general. For what the vehicle is built to handle-mods like that should still allow rest of vehicle to be covered
That’s why I didn’t lift my Wrangler. I have that MOPAR lifetime warranty and I don’t want to void it.
