Open air utility is compelling

  • 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.

Just pointing out that the utility on my ‘79 is pretty awesome. I flip the booted soft top to the front, flip the rear seat up, and i have great cargo for weekend transfer station runs - all very easy with the top off, and an enjoyable ride to boot! Easy cleanup after, and yes I prefer a real tailgate. I dont see any new Bronco’s or Wranglers being used this way nor do I think they could actually handle it! And who wants to muck up their enclosed suv - I have a Durango but easily prefer my Scout for these runs. I would love to see that kind of utility in the new Scout.

And…another example of use after a graduation party this weekend; 3x8 person tables; 3 hightop tables, and 24 folding chairs (plus one ratchet strap over the top to hold everything in just fine). And a very nice 30min ride with my wife to return them on a beautiful day. Great way to “run errands”:)IMG_0631.jpeg

Love it-and congrats for successfully raising a child. Got to experience that myself two weeks ago
