I noticed when looking at this photo that the Reverse lights look to have increased in length and width compared to the original Traveler Concept.

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.
Are you meaning the horizontal red light bar? I don’t see any white reverse lights?
Actually I see them now, down on the bumper. They are longer. I always assumed those to be reflectors but nice catch. Being as the green one is a render it makes you wonder which one is correct
The bumpers are perfect IMO.
I’ve spent around $30k over the years in armor for my vehicles and those designs really nail what I want. No compromises in approach and departure angles and a modular design. The only thing I would add is prewiring for a light bar on the bumper hoop/stinger. Maybe some prewiring for rear chase lights too and an Anderson plug integrated into a pocket in the bumper for a trailer or other accessories like a hitch mounted winch.
If you never plan to use it offroad, I get why you wouldn’t want some of the aspects offered in an offroad focused package, but for those that will actually use them things like easily accessible integrated recovery points are critical for it to be adopted by the more “hardcore crowd”.
It makes no sense to nerf off-road capability to appease people buying an offroad package just for appearances.
I hope everyone can get what they want as Cyure so often says.

I also noticed this notch that is where the satellite dish would normally go.
Not sure the purpose behind it, but my only advice to Scout is testing their roof racks in wind tunnels and road tests.
Sometimes aftermarket racks whistle or howl and it can make for miserable road trips, which would be exacerbated by the lack of engine noise because you’ll be able easily to focus on so many other sounds as you drive.
Maybe this notch helps combat that, or is just an aesthetic choice. But I hope acoustics are something the designers take into account.

I think through renders we’ll see more pre production pieces get added.
I’m guessing the updated render is correct. If the bumper is removable, they need to have white reverse lights even when it’s been removed.
I think that is mud, like near the front wheel & rocker.
You are correct. Jamie answered my question and confirmed mud.
Ya. Now reverse lights on the original Copper one.
Agreed.
I really do like the steel bumpers, and recovery points.
Personally I’ve never been big on the light bar hoop/stinger (even when I was more serious into rock crawling) and would prefer if you can get the bumper without it. But that said, I get it. I wouldn’t want the off-road package watered down at all.
I wasn’t sure that’s what it was…but I was wondering if those were shock reservoirs!
Interesting. Would that be some form of a "hybrid air suspension system" that you could adjust manually by adding air from the onboard air compressor yourself? You could (theoretically) run your Scout like a giant MTB with rock shox (changing dampness, increasing air based on cargo, manually stiffening your ride, etc). I guess it would eliminate some SW, Controls, U/I and direct connections to the onboard air system if you could do this manually (which makes it FEEL more like a throwback, but with aspects of modern air suspension)... Just not sure if that is what people are saying here, or if that would even be intended in this day and age? Not even sure if that cylinder is representing an air canister or something else?
This is a good explainer https://www.shocksurplus.com/blogs/shocks-101/adjustable-shock-absorbers-in-action
I’m not aware of any air shocks for damping adjustment in the offroad world, although adjustable shocks, even from the factory, are becoming more common. The various Ford Raptors have automatically adjusting shock damping, and GM has had magnetic ride for years.

I thought Ford had a big recall on those Raptor shocks recently. Something about them leaking and they didn’t have a fix for it at the time.
I hadn’t heard anything about raptors but they’ve had live valves since mid gen 2 I think?
Bronco Sasquatch shocks getting recalled for the reservoirs rusting off lmao.
It looks like some Raptorsnwere included.
Regardless I’m not going off road. Is there any reason I would need anything other than a regular old shock.
Need? Probably not. Fancy adjustable shocks that adjust their stiffness hundreds or thousands of times per second (like the ones I mentioned above) definitely smooth out road irregularities on pavement though and have luxury applications.
When I first drove something (a ZL1) with magnetic ride control it was like a magic carpet.
