Vintage Scout Cross Country Road Trip

  • 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.
Do you have hagerty insurance on it? My Ford has Hagerty best coverage ever. Free towing for first 100miles. gas delivery, of 3 gallons free, then any extra you have to pay. And they will deliver any other fluid you need. I haven’t had to use any thank god. But I always know it there. And besides that, they know more about my truck than a AAA guy would. Because its a Classic car only company.
Yes I do! They have always been great.
 
Last year, my wife tossed out the idea of us driving my '66 Scout along Rt 66 when I'm age 66 (in 2028). Love the idea but we'll have to see. 😬 Would def need to put some drive-ability $ into the Scout. Probably would drive out and have it shipped back.

Or maybe we could just drive a Harvester on the reverse trip. Whatya say, @Jamie@ScoutMotors?! :cool: :unsure:
Love that plan. Trailer yours home on the back of your new traveler as part of your factory delivery experience
 
I think timing is important too. Moving for work is one thing-traveling for 5-6 weeks (or more). Heading east you’d want to look at annual weather patterns and which seasons you want to see some places as well as avoiding winter-ish time frames as you have two sets of mountain chains to contend with. And I’ll go one step further. Without asking @OleScout first-you get to souther PA / Maryland and the two of us will join you and take you out for a bourbon and dinner 😀
I'd be down. Or fly in to pick up your Scout II build, @J Alynn and I can take you to Delaware to pick at RipTide and drive it back home to the west coast.
 
It takes them a day or two to print them up but it’s a nice little book. I saved mine from our last trip.

Ha! My Mom was a AAA girl in Morgantown WVA and one of her main jobs in the early 50's was to put together trip-tickets for patrons! Somewhere I have one from that era with a trip from Morgantown to Pensacola FL, I remember laughing because the trip was like 3 days long with stops at recommended hotels for like $6/night!
