2020 3rd gen Tacoma, Manual Transmission. I’ve reserved a Traveller thinking that my days with a pick-up and rooftop tent may be behind me by 2027 - not to mention my days with MT X ICE (as much as I love that combination.) I also grew up in a Scout II, so I can’t resist the nostalgia. That makes the next question - what to tow behind me for camping?
What are you driving until release?

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.
Nice taco , I had one but when I moved from Az to Carolina’s just wasn’t the same. I def miss it
I have a bronco that will be retired to trail life after the scout comes.
2008 Range Rover HSE (Buckingham Blue / Blue interior)… I absolutely love the L322 platform, but I’d like to transition it to my Sunday Funday Fleet.
I reserved a Traveler Harvester and I’m hoping the make the front bench a real option. I would also like to see an optional removable 3rd row.

A painfully practical Subaru Outback as my daily, a... less practical 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser for weekend fun. I would downsize to only one vehicle if I get the Traveler. With my front winch bumper and rear bumper swingouts, I think I'm juuuust about the same length as the Traveler with spare tire carrier at my longest points, so home charging in the garage shouldn't be an issue.

My current car is a 2018 Chevrolet Volt that I picked up used last year to replace a 2017 Chevrolet Cruze that I lost in a crash. I chose it to get used to driving an electric car, and it has enough EV-only range to get me to work and back without using any gas power.
2024 XL F150 I turned into an XLT on my own since they don’t make these reg cab short beds in an XLT anymore. I grew up with my dad in an 87 reg cab short bed XLT which he passed onto me. I sat in the middle of the bench seat and shifted gears for him on plenty of camping/road trips. I bought one to give my son the same experience while he’s growing up. It’ll be passed onto him in a few years as his first vehicle. I ordered it and have all the documentation laminated and the window sticker framed and took pics with him along the way during the whole process.

Last year I replaced my Saab 9-5 stick wagon with a Maverick hybrid. I really like the truck and it gets great fuel consumption. I'm a paddlesports instructor and a lot of its mileage has been taking people on kayak and camping trips.
I'm not truly in the market yet, but by the time the Traveler and Terra are released I'll be looking. I do like the smaller size of the Maverick though. Biggest I'd want is a midsize truck.

The "fanbois" that originally started with Tesla have migrated to many places. Especially in the Rivian forums too. Hopefully, this forum can keep them to a minimum. They love to hijack forums though.
I ride a motorcycle daily as gas prices here in the once Golden State are crazy. I also ride because of my ability to move through the constant traffic much more efficiently.
My trucks are a 2004 Nissan Titan that I purchased brand new and a 2001 Taco Pre-Runner. My Titan and been a loyal trusted friend. From vacations, to camping trips, moving, dirt bike riding, it has taken the family everywhere with never a break down. In fact, it has never even had a check engine light. What a beast. It will be my son's truck when my Scout arrives.
I also have my 68 Camaro for just utter soulful drives. Such a wonderful machine. Thumbs up and conversation starter everywhere she goes. Turnkey drivable anywhere. She is mostly original. Quite a bit of patina which fits her age.
I think the Scout is a perfect step with the type of activities and type of use for us. The Titan is great. Still exceptionally clean, but the cost of fuel is what is driving my decision.

Currently running a low mileage E92 BMW as my daily in the summer and will switch to my higher mileage than I prefer Jeep GC Trailhawk.
My son should get his permit in 2027, so the goal is to pass the Jeep to him while I move into the Scout.
Meanwhile the MRS is rocking the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Sport, that every rare chance I get behind the wheel I consider picking up a QV instead.
