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.

I daily a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee (4.0L straight six) with a 3in lift and 31’s. I bought it used 16 years ago, and it was my/my wife’s sole vehicle until about 6 years ago.

Well “daily” is a bit of a stretch lately. Between working from home, and some repairs that have taken me longer than needed (radiator), it’s not been driven tons in the last year. It’s currently getting a leaky transmission fixed, and needs new tires. And with that it should be road worthy for another while longer. Hoping that it will make it until the scouts start shipping.

About 2 years ago we picked up a 2022 Hyundai Tucson PHEV that we’ve been loving. It replaced a 2005 Mazda 6 wagon that was nothing but problems (stranded us twice on family trips, 2 fuel pumps, motor mounts, throttle body, valve cover gaskets, main seals, control arms, wheel bearings, o2 sensors, etc). Even doing all the work myself the costs added up, and it just wasn’t reliable.

The Tucson PHEV is what opened our eyes to what driving an electric vehicle could be, and my wife in particular went from not wanting to have an EV, to being really open to one.


The Traveler harvester I reserved I hope replaces the ZJ for me. Big enough to take 5-6 people and their stuff snowshoeing, mountain biking or whatever, and capable of driving through whatever obstacles and weather gets in its way.

Finally grabbed a more recent shot of both of my main rides.

1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0L with a 3 in lift and 31’s. And my mountain bike :).

Rebuilt transmission and new tires since the last post, means it’s been driven a lot more lately (especially because someone hit our other car in the parking lot, and the other car has been in the shop for over a month now).

Oh boy this thing brings back memories, this thing was a blessing and a curse from catching fire in a drive thru to some pretty good mudding holes near by as a teenage kid. This looks fun. I think I replaced the transmission twice by 240k.
