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 have a few kids, so my family basically maintains a small fleet of vehicles. Discounting ones that are used by adult children (and not currently at my house). I have a light and a heavy work truck (Tacoma and F250), a TDI Golf as a commuter (I used to have close to a 200 mile daily commute) and a Jeep LJ for fun. My wife has an old Sienna for kid hauling (it had very little resale value when we got her new daily driver), a JLURD for a daily driver, and a Mustang for fun.
My wife drives the JLURD about 95% of the time, except for dropping kids off at school (1 mile a day). I rotate more often, sometimes multiple times per day depending on the trip (I currently am putting more miles on the LJ that I really want to, and less on the TDI as it really needs some shop time). The LJ is also a part time work vehicle

2019 Tesla Model 3 (replaced a Tesla Model X)
2023 Rivian R1S (replaced a 2001 Chevy 2500K Suburban with a Vortec 8100)
I am interested in the Scout to replace my wife’s Prius V.

Cool, going all electric looks like? I still keep an ICE vehicle as a back up to our Chevy Bolt EUV, but there are ways to make all electric household work. My brother has been living with an electric vehicle only for a few years, and if he has a road trip, for example, he simply rents an ICE vehicle, and it still saves him a lot of money overall.
Driving a 2013 Ford Taurus. Last year at this time I had a 1984 F250 Diesel 4x4 for setting up my trail cams, sold that this summer so all I had was the Taurus to set the cams this weekend. Really looking forward to a scout!
Absolutely one of my favorite colors! Great looking rig!
Blue is the '65 Scout I drive fairly frequently; it is being hauled by my '23 Toyota Tundra Limited which goes anywhere where I want peace, quiet, fantastic audio, and near-luxury driving. Red from 1966 gets out for special occasions and the longer fun rides in the mountains. But the vehicle that gets the most use and braves the salty roads all winter is a 1917 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid, of which I have no pictures.

I don't have much to offer, but I'd sell my soul for this. She's a beaut Clark!
That Scout is WAY better than the Jelly of the Month clubit’s almost Christmas Vacation season!
Loving the build! That color is great, and the kid's seats in the back... can already imagine the stories and memories they'll have when they grow up!
I currently drive a 2022 Bronco Wildtrack 4dr but today I took out my ‘72 BMW 2002 to stretch her legs and get cold brew.
The Scout IG account asked me to send a note to ‘Jamie or Chris’ with some ideas I had like making sure the first edition offers plaid seats and 1 or 2 original colors. If either of you read this, shoot me a note- life long car enthusiast who can’t help but be chatty after coffee.
Excited for the new models!
