Traveler without rear tire carrier

  • 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.

Has anyone come across a photo of the rear of Traveler with the wheel carrier extended and the rear hatch closed? I’m curious to see what the rear might look like without the tire on the back. I can’t seem to find any photos that match my description.

It definitely looks like the tire carrier will be removable, i wonder if they will sell a cover plate to keep that latch protected. Or a complete cover that takes over where the tire carrier sits.

I concur wholeheartedly. I envisioned a scenario where the carrier could be effortlessly removed without attracting theft, maybe a key lock in the hinge.. Then an optional panel could be designed to snap securely into place when the carrier is detached.

I believe we were told at the reveal that there would be a slightly different back panel on the traveler but nothing was clarified and that was over 4 months ago so my brain is getting a little hazy on what we heard during the 2 day whirlwind event
I think you are correct. There was discussion about the panel being body color or black like in the photos. Nothing definitive at that time.
