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.

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.

What do the FJ40 jump seats look like?
The fold and tumble of the Jeep is pretty standard nowadays, so I'd bet they'd go that route.
Those seat ideas would only apply to a 2 door model. 4 door would have a conventional rear seat.
I loved those in my Dads 74 dodge w100 club cab. But, sadly I do not think they will pass any sort of modern crash and safety standards.
I was about to say something similar. I like how cargo would fit with those, but I can imagine in a car crash from the front or rear wouldn't be a positive outcome.
I would like to have a fold-down 2nd row that is flat to the rear cargo floor.
While I am at it, how about a fold down 3rd row facing the rearward? This row could be designed for short trips or for trail riding. Save weight and cost.
ingress / egress through the tailgate.

As someone with kids a 3rd row that is removable like the Tahoe 3rd row would be ideal. You could put 1 or 2 rear seats in the back if you need it by sacrificing trunk space but can leave them out most of the time to get that completely flat trunk to drivers if you fold down the 2nd row. It is nice to be able to fit a sheet of plywood those few DIY projects when you really need to.
No mention of 3rd row. But I suspect that may come on a future model. My opinion only.
This would be cool. I was thinking adding captain chairs the rear for a 4 seater.

No third row. Comment was made that there is room to grow so I suspect we will see a Travelall sooner than later but nothing said officially. But with bench seat you can get 6 people in
I laughed at your typo. I’d like everyone to cheer me when I drive? Captains seats at rear row would be nice!
Hahaha. I’m the Cheer Lender (I do mortgages), and my phone auto corrects every single time.
