  • 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.

    Color Wishlist

    Those are great International Truck colors from the 50's and 60's. For an upcharge, you could have your Scout painted to many of the International Truck color offerings for the year. Here's the standard Scout colors that were used in the last 3 years of production:

    Scout Design Ideas

    Rallye package, wagon wheels and plaid seats would be amazing. Couple this with true analog feeling PRNDL and 4Hi/4Lo shifters and you'd have a winner. Electronic buttons to override traction control and simulate differential lock would also be great but if you put a "rear wiper" button on it...

    Thanks! I really like the 1980 Scouts. Primarily for the black dash with silver accents, plaid interiors, the Dana 300 transfer case, and a better attempt to prevent rust in the assembly process. Mine has the 345 engine which is a plus. 1979 Scouts with the Rallye package are a very close second...
