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.
I would like to see side mirror turn signal/blind spot camera videos shown on the dash. Also a 360 camera and heads up display. My Kia Telluride has it and I love it.
Welcome to the SM forum and this great Scout entry community. Check things out and keep sharing your thoughts. Lots of info to find and search button will probably help lead you to any info you are interested in. Enjoy!
I’m sure this has been mentioned before, but I’ve been reading through posts for a while and haven’t seen anyone bring up a bed cover option for the Terra. I’m sure plenty of aftermarket solutions will pop up, but it would be great to see a factory-designed bed cover offered.
In my opinion, the ideal bed cover should roll up neatly when not in use, avoid covering the rear window, and keep gear secure and dry when closed. It doesn’t need to be strong enough to stand on or to stack things on top—just practical, durable, and well-integrated with the truck’s design.

Welcome to the community! Glad you decided to jump in and post. The more the merrier!
There’s some sort of a camping mode. If you haven’t watched any of the videos from
CES this past January those showed some of the different modes.
YouTube CES Scout Motors. There’s multiple from different people.
Don’t know if shown Dual zone heated seats where you can select lumbar or seat separately or both. I can drive all day with lumbar on but not necessarily my butt.
I wholeheartedly agree. Lower back muscles ch better than swamp a$$
Do any vehicles offer a top/bottom split air conditioning? I can have my passenger warmer/colder than the driver. In my Pacifica, I can have the rear a different temperature.
I would love to drive something where I could have warmer air toward my feet without having to sweat. Or even the same temperature air with radiant heat for my feet.

I would like the option to pick, back or bottom. Since most heated seats are overly heated.
Just as a general principle, I would say “don’t get distracted.” Make the basic platform as solid and high quality as possible, and let the aftermarket take care of accessories- that’s what’s going to happen, anyhow. To do this, you need an open design approach. I have a Grenadier - as long as you have a torx set and panel tools, you can do pretty much anything you want with it. You want to make sure the factory doesn’t get too hung up on customization to the point that it hurts production output. That’s one of the things Lynn Calder has acknowledged- so Ineos is trying to move to a couple of platforms (offroad and more the bougie horse crowd) and letting owners go from there.
There are a couple of essentials that I think you need to option from factory. One is auxiliary power and having pre-run hot ports. Don’t have to drill holes or set up a SwitchPro. I have 9 hot leads on my Grenadier - 4 on the roof, 2 in the engine bay, 2 inside, and 1 in back (high amp). That’s in addition to the 12v leads (one in front, one in back).
Second is diff locks - much better to have this OEM. That would be a big project for an owner, so you can option that with the “offroad package.” But please don’t make the offroad package too expensive - diff locks and sway bar disconnect, maybe different tire selection - but if you throw in all the goodies (eg air compressor etc), you’ll price people out of that option and they can’t work their way up to a full build.
Owner options from factory is fantastic. But be careful with it - if you go too far, you’ll jam up production and then quality will take a hit. It’s important to identify the foundation options that really need to be OEM - and then design it in a way that is easy to configure in the aftermarket.
