Interior Feature Focus

  • 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.
I would also like to see the wood-grain dash option like on the original scout IIs. My 79 had this dash, and having one one as an option on the new scout would be awesome. Rivian does a good job with their wood grain dash. I have attached an original scout wood-grain dash and a Rivian's. Scout Interior.PNG

There have been a few post regarding carpet vs no carpet (easy clean up), and the sound deading characteristics it brings to the table. I just came across the post below that might be a bridge between the two talking points that Scout could look at offering.


I will say I had an '87 Toyota 4x4 pickup with vinyl floors. Yes, it was nice to clean up on those days you found yourself playing in the mud....BUT, I do remember after cleaning the floors they had a slick feel that was a bit annoying.
I think no carpet should be the base (rubberized floors) with carpet as an option. Having rubberized floors is great for offroaders, hunters, people with messy kids, and so on. But carpets definitely present a luxury feel and sound reduction, which should be an upgrade for those that want the luxury.
