  • 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.

    Thanks. The last time I had a screw in one of those tires that’s what happened. I’m hoping it’s the same thing. I know these knobby...

    Welp… This is exactly why I want a full size spare in a tire carrier. Worst case take that tire off the back and throw it on. I’m...

    Sorry, I didn’t see this; the tag didn’t alert me and I don’t have any interest in a satellite dish on my truck, so I haven’t been...

    It depends on the scenario. There's a lot of cases where I use the bumper as a step. If I just need to reach in and grab something real...

    Agreed. That would be helpful too (when not towing). I do like the Lightning and Silverado tailgates with steps. Even so, I still...

    Now if that silver center panel folded down as a step, I'd be pretty happy. I'm short. Even if that bumper was a plateau with great...

    I think I know what color you are writing about… Is it pale? Does it look similar to a dairy product? Hmmm…
