  • 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.

    Scout Supply Merchandise Live

    First trip (Carrizo Plain National Monument) with my new Scout beanie and it’s already been claimed by my wife. Gonna need another one. Hopefully the same doesn’t happen when my actual Scout arrives.

    Duck, Duck......Scout?

    A simple wave, nod, or even tip of the ol’ hat should suffice. There’s no need to leave toys on other grownups’ vehicles or send texts to strangers.

    Who would be a perfect brand ambassador?

    Perfect ambassador for Scout would be everyone’s grandpa if everyone’s grandpa spoke softly, smelled like a baseball glove on a summer afternoon, and could run the 40 in under 4 seconds.

    Scout Supply Merchandise Live

    Our merch arrived today and I can report that the shirt, crewneck, beanie, and mug are all good quality. The beanie is still probably my favorite, but the most important thing for me was that I didn’t want to miss out on the first run on Scout gear. There’s going to be Scout gear for literally...

    Scout Design Ideas

    I was thinking about this yesterday as a new model Mustang convertible rolled by: Why doesn’t a Mustang, or literally any other convertible, require the same rollover concerns? The novelty of topless has worn off for me already after just about 3 years of Bronco ownership, so I don’t really...

    That “new” Audi looks just like every other car on the road. Milquetoast.

    Daily Driver Comforts

    Not sure if it was mentioned but one thing I can’t live without now is 360 camera or bird’s eye view. I use that button more than any other button.

    My last drive from New York to Los Angeles in the Scout 800A

    Were you able to find another one in Australia? Nice job on the sale!

    Totally agree with @Chaparral … I was only kidding and, in context, perhaps a bit too excited right after buying merch. I’m sure it’s a complicated legal and financial analysis but dealerships are objectively bad for the relationship between automakers and their consumers.
