  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout 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 debate is welcomed and often produces 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.

    Powertrain Wants

It seems like a very efficient way to get both efficiency and reliability that most customers are...

    Truck version

    With the agricultural background of IH it might be best to lean on that in the naming process. As far as bed length seems most half tons survive with about 5 and 1/2 feet. Larger platforms would need 6 feet or better. Capability and reliability are the things many seek out in the larger truck...

    Realistic range concerns.

    300 Mile range seems a standard goal among most vehicles sold domestically. That being said they can be re-fueled in a reasonable timeframe with many fueling sites available even in remote areas. For a strictly EV platform to be competitive you would need to have at minimum equal range to the...

    Diesel heater / range extender

    The idea of a generator heater is a good idea especially in the colder climates. However the complexity and weight may not be worth it. Although personally I would love a series electric hybrid design like that. It would lend itself to future development of hydrogen cell designs and would allow...
