What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

  • 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.
Both the Traveler and the Terra had hitches in Scottsdale.

Guess the swing out tire carrier is another issue if you tow a lot or tow a boat as you’d have to raise upper hatch (assuming it would without open tire swing) and stand on trailer bar to get things out. Would be a bit of a hassle if towing boat as you basically have to back into slip and drop boat into water before gabbing gear. Guess that’s another thing to consider. I don’t own a boat so not an issue. My very wise first boss -who was divorced 3 times and dating his head of marketing at the time offered me this wisdom and I’ve never forgotten it. “If you can fly it, float it or F-it, you’re better off renting it by the hour, otherwise it will never stop costing you money” 🤣
 
Folding mirrors at low speeds for those tight garages. I know it's been said, but going to say it again 😀Maybe if Scout comes to Boston/Worcester my fears of fitting will be relieved 😅
Oh they need to fold for parking in my garage. I’m crazy and hoping I can park in the 3rd garage at our house. So the single door. It’s 93 wide and the Scout is 91 with the mirrors. Do we have any idea what the width will be with folded mirrors? If I can fold them to park I should be able to do it. Crossing my fingers.

I’d figure folded you’ll save between 6-8” combined between both mirrors. Depends on how far off the vehicle the pivot points land.

I once crushed my non-power folding SUV passenger side mirror backing out our single car stall of our 3 car garage (11 MDX around 88 inches wide at mirrors). So worried about clearing the driver's side and forgot about the passenger's side clearance. Hit it just right on the garage frame and the mirror didn't fold backwards. Made sure my next vehicles had power folding side mirrors.

Yikes! Hopefully they are paying attention and put in a button or something we can press to fold them in, yeah I get I can get out and fold them, but who wants to do that on the rain or snow.

What I like about power fold side mirrors on my current vehicles is it a quick double check to make sure the vehicle is locked. I have the option with my two current vehicles to power fold in the side mirrors and give a lock beep when the walk away door lock feature with security activation. I can also power fold in the side mirrors when driving (that would come in handy in tight off-road situations).

I don't have to take my fob out my pocket to unlock, start/drive, lock, or manually open the doors/hatch/trunk on either vehicle. I have to touch the fob to remote start to heat or cool the inside and open all windows + sun roof. Hoping for a (free) smartphone app as a back-up to the fob to do all of the above.
 
I’d like to be able to swap the Terra-style tailgate onto the Traveler. I don’t want the bulk of the spare tire unless on a trip.

Also confused why no black option in the color choices.

Welcome to the community!

I can answer both of those questions for you.

At the beginning of that poll they said assume white, black and grey. So there is an assumption that those colors will be offered.

Second, they have stated you will be able to order the Traveler with or without the tire carrier. However, it will not come removable from factory. Now I’m sure people will figure out how to remove it, but if you don’t want a tire carrier you will be able to order without.

A couple great follows are @Jamie@ScoutMotors and @CP1@scoutmotors. They keep us updated around here on the goings on from the manufacturer side.

Welcome again!
