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.
Okay so I think that’s competitive. Better than 3/36k that we got on the Supra.
Honestly this is part of the reason I’m going BEV. No engine to deal with. A lot less moving parts.
Everyone buying Scouts for the first couple of years is taking a huge risk not knowing how these cars will hold up over time, a beefy warranty is the only way to ease those concerns.
Scout needs to at least match Rivian's warranty full stop. Anything less says the calculus on durability is sub-Rivian which is no bueno.
Warranty should be more than adequate. I just hope that they stand behind it if they offer it and don’t make excuses or try to deny because you took it off road on a gravel path one given time. I heard some issues with the Broncos early on. It’s one thing to go boulder bashing and break something and be denied (within reason) but whole other issue if they fight minor issues. The issue was Bronco advertised trail capable, etc… then people ran them hard, broke and or found fail points then argued it should be covered. And I can see both sides of the sword. If you market highly capable then honor it but guess you also need a comprehensive list of what you can and can’t do within the confines of the warranty program being valid/invalid?
Indeed. I had a warranty voided on a Ranger for hitting the rev/speed limiter. The computer didn't differentiate on whether is was the 85mph speed limiter or redline that was hit... Illegal as hell to void it, but there's never been another Ford in my garage since, nor will there be.
