Option for a Rugged/Waterproof Interior Trim

  • 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.

The nice leather and white fabric looks cool but it's not functional. We need a waterproof, rugged, rubber-lined, interior option. Think jumping into the car in a still damp wetsuit, throwing your sandy items in the back, and washing out the interior with a hose when you get home. Drain holes and an option for an adventure key would be great. Seat material even more durable than the Suburu sport trim (scratch/tear resistant, waterproof, salt resistant). We need an interior trim option for people that want to beat on the truck.

I don't need waterproof to wash it out, but I do want MY traveller to feel more like my old 77 scout or 99 Durango than my sisters mall crawler Denali. I can totally see leather seats and the interior shown at the reveal being an option, but I want some adventure capable and easy to clean seats that have seat warmers and no other electronics at all. I think the space behind the tablet creates no advantage and multiple disadvantages so it should be reconsidered. Frankly I would expect the more spartan interior to help bring the base cost below $60k.
 
In a seperate comment, I LOVE the idea of a waterproof method of entry for the vehicle. To me this means not using phones ( or watches) as the back up. If I go trail running in the rain or kayaking I don't want either to have to be with me. What if you create a small watertight compartment, accessible from outside the vehicle, that a user could place their key fob in that works with an actual key? Just a plain piece of metal that can't be affected by water or dirt or magnets or emps....whatever, that the owner can take easily in whatever light clothing they chose to wear on their adventure seems like the simplest solution to the problem.
