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.
Now (especially the last three years or so) we are seeing shorter, smaller, and even front drive TV’s. Improvements in weight reduction in the trailers really opens up more possibilities. Also a good sound WD hitch and away control probably doesn’t hurt (we have towed with and without and like the ride better with).
With the smaller and shorter wheel bases out there towing, we are not noticed as much at campgrounds now-especially since the V8 has a set of MagnaFlow mufflers that state very clearly “V8 here”).
That brings me to a sort of sad point that I don’t want to live in an era without V8s in the world–possibly the best sounding motor (I love a good exhaust on a VR6 too). Sure you could make an EV sound like “Dukes of Hazzard” if you want with a speaker and software (I guess some sound is required by feds?), but a simulated V8 sound just seems…dorky I guess?
My daily is a 2019 Ram 2500. My wife's is a 2019 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.
Our sporty and fun car is a 2011 Hyundai Genesis coupe. It's far more fun than most people would think. 2 liter turbo, six speed, rear wheel drive and nimble.
I have two project scout 80's as well.

Love your Hondas especially the s2000. That’s another vehicle that needs brought back-wonder if the rumors will come true and the will bring that back as an EV
Thanks! The S2k has 29k miles on it. Still amazes me that it's over 20 years old at this point.
I had a 2003 until 2009, it started life as a street car then ended up a full caged, gutted supercharged track beast. It is probably the only car I wish I would have kept stock and held on to.
2013 LX570.

Currently, nothing. My '95 Crown Victoria died last year, the '03 Sable wagon I replaced it with now needs a heater core, and I got T-boned on my way to work this morning in my wife's '14 Fusion.
