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 don't remember this being discussed. What about the original Scout II half cab set up? I see a need for the crew cab truck modle with the longer wheelbase. However, in the spirit of the Scout II versatility, why not have the option to take the SUV's model top off and install a half cab for a two door truck setup? Back seats are made to fold down flat, sealing to protect interior from weather, and the seat back having the same durable bedliner spray. Also would mean door windows are frameless so when back door windows are down the top of the door aligns to extend the truck bed lines. Back doors used for bed access would be a unique design que also.
A truck version could be a home run. Competition is really only a few. Gladiator, Ridgeline, Santa Cruz, Ranger, and of course the highly anticipated Ineos Quartermaster is unfortunately slapped with the Chicken Tax and starting price of $94,500 is about 20k higher than the station wagon. I wanted one but can buy 2 Gladiators for that price
This is interesting from Honda and plays into the idea of an open back pick up truck

Honda patents Chevy Silverado EV-like reconfigurable mid-gate
The EV era might bring about the rebirth of the mid-gate on pickup trucks.
I think Scout should use the Terra name just like the name they used for the truck version of the Scout II in the 1970's
I have a soft tri-folding tonneau cover. It doesn't have the protection of a hard cover, but it locks and keeps the curious away. It ran under $200.
Anybody know if this is legit? I’m not usually a fan of Kia but I kinda like the looks of this. Overall size is pretty good.
Feel free to give your opinion-certain things are a bit off-interior isn’t memorable but exterior is pretty solid

I will be blunt! If the new Scout looks even remotely close to that I would tap out. The proportions, flares and weird curves are aesthetically unappealing. Looks like the door frames come up way to high, leaving tiny windows. The nose and front end appear disproportionately tall, and the double fender flares scream "I wish I were a real truck" to me. The interior appears to be from 2012, and the tiny bed appears to be 3 feet long. Worst of all, they ruined any chance of interior space by not making it a BOX and trying to curve everything like a crossover SUV. But just my 02 cents! Other than that, it looks good! LOL
