  • 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.

    What kind of tech do you expect enabled in the car or interface?

    With everything that people have listed here, there is no way this would be an affordable EV. This answers the statement I made (in a different post) about this Scout not being what people who own Scouts now think, because the present drivers think they need everything at their fingertips.

    So what does everyone think of the first new Scout designs...

    The problem I see is, this is 2023 and we're looking at a design that will come out in 26 probably 27. The average customer, not IH Scout customer, the normal people they will have to sell to, to make is a success. Those people are not going to want all the old design elements from the...

    Scout Color Poll #1

    Honestly even back in 1984 when I had a 78 to drive to college, the orange was way too bright. I think now, more subtle colors would work.

    So what does everyone think of the first new Scout designs...

    The rear overhang I think is perfect. From the amount of videos I've seen of Scouts getting hung up from the back, this will definitely help.
