Welcome and Introductions!

  • 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 just joined as well! Probably read nearly every post (except when it went off track on political tangents—thanks for this community keeping that to a minimum). Looking forward to engaging and learning more. I am coming from a Jeep Wrangler 4xE which is good…Scout is shaping up to be GREAT!
Welcome to the shit show 🤣. Glad you’ve been stalking all of us. Welcome aboard.
 
Hi all, new to the forum. Wish I had found it and joined 2 years ago.

Like many on here, I'm a lifelong car enthusiast. I've owned two Scouts and still have one of them.

The first one I had was a 1976 Scout II in maroon color with the 345 V8 and 4 speed manual. I had it in high school and for a few years after until the rust got too far ahead of me. I had a lot of fun in that truck and a lot of memories. Took the top off in the summer and got caught in a bad thunderstorm once. That was a wet and nervewracking ride home! That was back before everyone had a camera in their pocket, so I have almost no pictures of it. If I find any, I'll post them.

The other Scout that I still own is a 1968 Scout 800 that I've used for plowing my driveway for the last 18 years. I posted the story of that one in the registry if you want to read more about it. Here's a pic:

I also have a 1974 AMC Javelin AMX that I drive only in the summertime. it's got a 401 with a 4 speed.

Also had a few Cadillacs, a 1969 coupe convertible with robin's egg blue spray can paint job, and a 1970 white and rust colored Calais. I paid $300 for that car and it was my daily driver for about 4 years. Here's a pic of those two caddies with my brother's 1941 Oldsmobile in the background.

I even had a 1983 Volkswagen Scirocco for a while when I was in college. No pics of that one, sadly.

I'm really excited for the new Scouts and can't wait to get my Terra.
Love your fleet! Welcome, Massachusetts buddy!
