Are there ways to be involved?

  • 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.

I have a full deck of cards and a mongoose, yet I'm not interested in wordplay or social intersective manipulation for the sake of your job security.

#1. First off the development and engineering team at VW hasn't advanced in the last year considering the new 2023 Amarok platform is actually the Ford ranger platform designed by the ford engineers.

#2. What has changed at VW development center in Virginia that makes the Scout development team more advanced than those involved in the Amarok project?
Amarok sells in limited markets worldwide and economies of scale weighed in on business decisions.

The Amarok was never engineered/developed to compete in the US market. It was designed to be an inexpensive small pickup designed for the South American market. It’s actually not a bad truck for what it is, but it was never designed to compete with a Bronco/Jeep/Scout.

Many things have changed at VW including new management both in Germany and here in the US. But that’s not really the point here. You seem to want to completely dismiss the pool of talented engineers and resources at VW (and other manufacturers) as somehow incapable of building a decent off-road vehicle. Honestly the formula isn’t that difficult outside of working around new EV technology.

Like I said to you privately, we just ask that you tone down the name calling and accusations.
 
I agree, man. (disclaimer: self-promotion) That's one of the reasons I created www.Scout80800s.com. I wanted some Scout-specific stuff and, at the time, there wasn't much out there. I had a few ideas and figured I'd throw them out there (yes, it's licensed). Pretty basic stuff really, but just something I enjoy doing. I'm looking forward to the new Scout breathing some life into the available swag.

IH Gear & Super Scout Specialists has have nice stuff.

I always loved VW's marketing, too. Classic.
Great products... I came across a vintage Scout 800 Ad the other day. I had no idea they existed.

I bet you're fun at parties.
