Right. To compete with all those other V8 manual SUV's and pickups Remind me again--which ones are those? Stop clinging to this fantasy. You think if IH had continued to make Scouts that they wouldn't have kept up with the times?
What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

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.
we're full up on trolls. Go find another bridge
Oh boy another person that will never understand that if International Scout wasn't killed by the UAW Strike and bad quality metal (Rust Issues), and poor financial management, and marketing. Scout would have probably been the first one to make an EV off roader, before Rivian. Now we have the successor to International Scout; Scout Motors, picking up where IH Scout would have probably been today if they were still around.
Proximity key access to open the tailgate. My Mach E offers this for all doors except the rear hatch, but that is the only door I need to open when my hands are full with dogs, groceries, camping gear, etc. Let's have the tailgate unlock from the exterior without use of the key in a lockset or via remote button).
My Lincoln if your hands are full you just make a small kicking action under the rear facia of the vehicle and the rear hatch opens right up. I am surprised Ford did not include that feature in your Mach E.
Absolutely! Go back to 1982 or earlier and you have what you want! You are also welcome to decommission a new Scout EV and put in your v8–maybe even a v-12 and go on your way. For 600k I will make it happen.
Classic Autotrader has vintage Scouts for about what a new one will cost. Good luck with a 45 year-old gas engine, ("motor" generally refers to electric power).
You also have to restore it for them. Add an extra 250k on top. Since he will most likely will be bringing a rusted out scout. So you might get tetanus.
Absolute beauty of a Scout. Hope they replaced panels and didn’t do bondo.
I get another gold star for not losing my temper on this one
. Took everything I had the other day but I’m trying!
Honda has it too. It’s nice once you know where to move your foot
A buddy of mine told me this one has airbags too so when you roll it you have some modern safety to help you survive
You’re welcome lol I’ll take the red star for being bad. And not following through on rant stopping.I get another gold star for not losing my temper on this one
The vehicle remembering what direction it was going is an interesting thought. Other than that knowing the direction you’re facing requires additional equipment. Either a second GPS antenna (one in front and one in back) works for direction finding but on this short a vehicle accuracy may not be the best. The other option is a magnetic heading sensor (effectively and electronic compass) that feeds into the GPS to give facing directions. That’s how it is done on boats. The price for the magnetic sensors has come down dramatically over the last several years so it could be an option. Some advanced GPS are starting to have the heading sensor built in.
I’ve had my vaccines…something others may…. Nevermind not going there!
Yes, all of my GPS devices including hiking are set for direction of travel. I personally don't care too much about north and south 90% of the time. But none of my older GPS devices can detect which way they are pointed in relation to my route until I start moving. This often means that I take off and then my GPS gets coordinated and tells me I should have started out going the other direction. Do newer in-vehicle GPSs already do this?
Not a fan of the Bronco sport but this is cool feature. It’s off Facebook so hoping it opens

I concur, this was new for the 25 model year. I couldn't locate the load capacity, assume it's pretty light, guessing 100-150#.Not a fan of the Bronco sport but this is cool feature. It’s off Facebook so hoping it opens
