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 think-from a design only standpoint a drop style tailgate step would be ideal. Moulding them into the bumpers, IMO will really ruin the clean look. I think steps are valid and very useful but just hope it’s a factory option so those not needing it don’t lose the great styling. I know the terra needs to be functional but I think there are multiple ways to accomplish it. As a function molded is a great solution but I’ve yet to see it look good on the rear of any pick-up offering them
Option to have the propulsion 100% combustion engine. That will out sell any other option you can offer.
Wasted effort on this site. Move along fisherman and troll somewhere else
My brother in Scout,
I beseech you to please do a search for “removable solid hardtop” or “removable roof” and you’ll see that this has been covered a lot. You will find out why that this is not going to happen.
Short answer: It’s too heavy and there are too many electronics to make this feasible.
Long answers: please use the search function.
Go forth in peace.
Two analogue must-have features:
1. Sturdy & many cup holders. I looked at a Rivian. The cupholders are plastic and felt flimsy. I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay 90K for a vehicle with cheap cupholders. They should be made of stone at that price. And there were only 2 in the front seat. Long drives mean more than one drink per person with a mug full of water + whatever coffee, sodas, etc. we buy along the way.
2. Fold flat rear seats so the pooch has a flat place to sit & max loading of boxes without creasing the seats. The dog goes with us nearly everywhere. Having a flat surface with no gaps between front and rear seats makes a world of difference. My RAM 1500 does this right. Bonus points for a washable seat cover for dogs as an accessory.

The cabana is 1000 times more practical. For a solid removable top you more or less need a crane to lift it off.
Coded door locks!
This is one feature on my Ford F-150 that I absolutely love. I play a lot... surf, foil, windsurf, hockey, etc... I love leaving my keys in the truck instead of hiding it somewhere. I wonder if Ford has a patent on this as they are the only ones doing it but it's such a great feature.
Noted in other posts.
I'd need a 6.5 foot bed, but, my preference is just an extra cab, not the crew cab. If this is going to be marketed as a full size truck, how do they only do 5 foot bed and crew cabs?
Opening sunroof. I was shocked to hear that the glass roof may not open? This might be my deal breaker to wait a year or 2 before they release that.
If it only has a 5 foot bed, it needs to be able to have roof racks, which is a bummer.

This is a great feature idea that Scout Motors needs to consider so cords are not dangling down the dash.
My preference is that the Scout app should send notifications for this
The card option so you can put it in between your phone and phone case would be a good option.I work in tech, and did an internship at an ISOC (Internet Security Operations Center), where we actively monitored for cyberattacks/breaches.
I've been jaded ever since.
I don't use certain services, apps, games, etc all because of privacy policies. I don't give out personal information unless I actually have to (my dentist one time tried to get my social security number, and I asked why, and they said "no idea actually, its just been on the forum for forever, we don't actually use it"...).
Also, anything that requires email confirmation... is assuming that emails have 100% availability (which I can assure you, they do not).
So yeah, key please. Although, as a non-wallet carrying person (phone with a card-carrying case), I'd also totally be ok with a card-key option).
