Off Road Utility

  • 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 am excited about the potential of the Scout to reimagine the American off-road vehicle. Its classic design and modern engineering promise a thrilling driving experience. However, to truly maximize its off-road potential, I propose a few key considerations:

1. Multiple Factory Aux Switches:
  • Empowering owners to easily install and control aftermarket accessories like auxiliary lighting, winches, air compressors, and more.
  • Simplifying the installation process and maintaining a clean, factory-integrated look.
2. Factory Brackets and Connection Points:
  • Providing dedicated mounting points for various off-road equipment, including light bars, recovery gear, and rooftop tents.
  • Ensuring secure and hassle-free installation of essential accessories.
3. Sturdy Roof Rack System:
  • A robust roof rack capable of handling heavy loads, such as rooftop tents, cargo boxes, and spare tires.
  • Designed to withstand the rigors of off-road use, including exposure to harsh weather conditions.
4. Maximum Ground Clearance:
  • Prioritizing ample ground clearance to tackle challenging terrain with confidence.
  • Optimizing suspension geometry and tire selection to maximize articulation and minimize undercarriage damage.
5. Rugged, Reliable Components:
  • Focusing on durable, low-maintenance components that can withstand the demands of off-road driving.
  • Avoiding complex systems that might be susceptible to failure in harsh environments.
I believe that by incorporating these features, the Scout can become a truly iconic off-road vehicle that appeals to enthusiasts seeking adventure and durability. I encourage you to study the INEOS Grenadier, a vehicle that has successfully implemented many of these features and has garnered significant attention from the off-road community.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to seeing the Scout realize its full potential as a rugged, capable, and timeless off-road vehicle.
