The Road to Scout Production - All the latest updates in one place...

  • 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 mentioned in the construction update above, production at end of 2026. I think you would be surprised at how quickly various manufacturers have gotten new facilities built and running in the last few years. Particularly in the southern climates. Lots of things can happen along the way, but lets see how it goes. We have a veteran team of great people managing this project.
I’ve seen large warehouses go up quickly. Not this large but if PA winter doesn’t kill production I’m sure the SC warm climate will allow lots of work to move along. The hard part of site work and DEP,SCDOT is done, now it’s just form, pour, set for the foreseeable future. Remember it is a German company-they know how to build, manage and engineer very well.
 
So it will be 2027 model year probably

Waiting is aggravating without even a prototype yet.
Ironically I find the waiting period exciting due to the speculations surround it. Teasers are a great way to draw attention and for people to start to form thoughts and ideas on what the production vehicle looks like. Renders have come along way in recent memory and people were pretty close when it came to the recent 4Runner. I somewhat miss the days of trying to imagine the Bronco without its camo.
