  • 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 have that pic also, but my Taco is my daily driver and the BEST truck I have ever owned.

    What Are You Driving Now?

    I brought it home with the Tacoma, but it is currently for sale because I could not find a suitable/affordable tow vehicle.

    72 Scout II

    I bought my first Scout around 2000, it was a runner but had some issues... duh. I fixed some things and drove it for a few years. It sat for a few years due to my lack of real welding skills, till my wife encouraged its resurrection. Bought a donor, tore them both down, picked the best parts...

    I will try not to hold the MSU connection against you... :) You have an amazing 'Scout heaven' thing going on and this Badger is jealous. This one was a particular favorite of mine on BaT.

    A Tall Order

    Yes, we are a diverse group. I am glad this site was created to find out what we, Scout owners and/or lovers, can toss our suggestions into the box. The engineers/designers/etc. have their hands full. There is no way they will please everyone, but they have to find a happy median. They are also...

    A Tall Order

    I agree that it is a tall order... consumer expectations, safety regs, etc, etc. I get that we probably won't get a fully removable top, but I will be very disappointed if there is not a proper short-wheelbase 2-door. THAT is what a Scout is {period, full stop}
