• 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.

So I have a wench on the front of my Scout strong enough to lift two Scouts chained together straight into the air. Hopefully I'll never have to do this! But one time I was heading off the mountain in the late afternoon and I came around a bend to find a man "Chicago Jack" out of his vehicle holding onto a rope in an attempt to keep his ride from slipping over the side of this very step hillside.

Heading up, he had dropped his back right tire off the edge and now was teetering on a few loose rocks. So I had my family get out of my Scout and I parked it in a fairly secure spot and ran out the steel cable. I was pretty sure that I could pull his vehicle back up on the road but not 100% sure. There was a chance that both of our cars would be pulled over the edge and tumble to their deaths. (There is a vehicle at the bottom of this massive slide that has always served as a firm reminder to stay alert)

So I had him stand where he was not at risk and, standing clear of my Scout, I hit the remote on my wench. We all breathed much better when his vehicle gave a lurch and started to return to the trail. Within a few minutes we were shaking hands with big smiles and sweaty brows and we said goodbye to Chicago Jack.
