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.
Love the questions and the reference to Bob Ross is F&$#^> FANTASTIC!!!!
We have some things similar, that's how i grew up in school from back in elementary school i was drawing everything from tractors, cars, buses. All of it i later sold to my good friend who is opening a concept car company(i still do some drawing work for him on the side).
Also what a classic quote of Bob Ross, A+ for that!
Some insight here:
I take this as the orange outline hints at what may be incorporated into the next Scout. The tri-angler dash pad with the horizontal gauges sets things apart from other manufacturers. Also, outlining those upper and lower body lines allows an opportunity for SM or buyers to personalize their rigs. If this tracing is correct, I think we can fully expect this to resemble the Scout II with the shorter overhang in the front and boxy design, no jelly bean here! These images with the design team and the most recent video is subtly escalating the hype for those following, can't wait for the reveal!
I think this is probably the best hints we will get until Oct 24. I agree the orange lines are highlighting classic Scout design language that were used to benchmark the new vehicles. You know a Jeep when you see one. You know a BMW when you see one. You will know a Scout when you see one, and if you don’t remember or know the classic Scout you will quickly learn that this truck is something different.
Very well said. And having seen the new ones I agree.
@J Alynn the things I'm most curious about while you're there in person would be the ground clearance/fording depth, whether the charge port cover is manual or motorized, how the seats feel (if you're allowed in the vehicle at all), the pack chemistry (if they know yet).
I may have more questions for you to look into but I'll have to think on it.

Making a last call request for questions and or pics you want us to try and get. It was confirmed some of the design team will hang directly with us so any other question requests are encouraged. @LastDayScout will be there too and is onboard to get all the info we can for the forum group.
VIP treatment. Ask them what the 3rd Scout vehicle will look like jk.
I feel like a lot of info will be told on the 24th and we'll probably end up with more questions then. We just need you guys to sit on the forum the whole time during the livestream to get all our live questions xD.
Like being on the floor at the NY stock exchange
I’ll collect info from the designers and prep to release answers right after the reveal event then follow up with pics later that night. I understand we are all going Mudding in the concept vehicles right after so until we get them washed down it might be later in the evening. After we find any missing screws/clips (mud pit-could take a while) then fix the panels we break it may be day break but we will certainly dump any/all info we can.
I’m also taking rolls of pennies for my $100 deposit so THAT’S gonna take time to count-and heaven for bid any of those fall out in the mud pit-then I’ll go into total PANIC mode!
Anyway-call me Johnny on the spot -we will be your live reporting crew
HOLD UP YOU ARE GOING MUDDING. Dont take photos of them clean, well do take photos of them clean but take photos of them having fun as well of you can. I wore my Scout Community Shirt today while farming and my dad asked me "Do you want to wear that it'll get dirty?" the only thing in my head was "Its supposed to get dirty".Like being on the floor at the NY stock exchange

Part of me is now not sure if you are pulling my leg or not
We only have 5 days left @Jamie can you confirm or deny the adventure of a lifetime
lol you guys are the best!
No, we can’t get carried away with very expensive concept vehicles. However, yes, we have invited six forums members to our reveal event. So let them know what you want to see, questions you want asked and anything else. I’ll also post up some live updates. I fly out tomorrow for Nashville. Countdown begins!

now now, are they really expensive concept vehicles or are they Scouts 
I don't remember if I've put this on the list yet but I'd really like to know the ground clearance/fording depth. And pics of any interior buttons or switches. I'm sure the interior will look cool but I'd love to see some close ups of the dash or overhead part where the compass ball seems to be!
I must have missed this, must have been in the fine printLike being on the floor at the NY stock exchange

. Can't wait for the reveal, this as exciting as it gets and it will feel like Christmas morning as a child.While I can appreciate the looks of the drawing - I can only assume that the actual version will have some sort of display in the dash. I guess they can do hands free telephone - not seeing how any navigation will be easy without a display - but I guess some minimal navigation could be in the instrument cluster - but that is certainly not what the illustration indicates, it sure looks analog. Perhaps there are enough purists to make sales without ANY modern convinces - but it will be a hard sell for many. EV's and tech seem to go hand in hand... Honestly, that dash looks like it would be perfectly fit with an original Scout. Only thing I actually see missing is an ashtray.
In all fairness - if they really wanted to hide some hard core tech, it could have a HUD. But given the complete absence of buttons, even on the steering wheel - it would have to be voice controlled.
The lack of AC vents is also "disturbing" - heater vents only? That is pushing traditional a bit far - I am in Texas, I have not ridden in a vehicle made without AC since the early 70's.

Isn't that dash just a Scout II? Like I think their just trying to hint towards it's shape being similar and taking inspiration from the Scout II. Just like the lines across the body of the Scout II in the other image
