2022 Scout Motors is born.

Original Scout vehicles were born out of a desire to create a truck that could go anywhere and do anything— a true pioneer in the automotive world. In 1960, the first Scout, a Scout 80, rolled off the assembly line, setting the standard for what would become a capable workhorse that could also perform daily family duties. Built for durability and versatility, the Scout was embraced by adventurers, farmers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike, becoming a symbol of freedom and rugged independence. That same spirit lives on today in the new Scout Motors and in all Scout products.

A Community of Pioneers

Just as the first Scout vehicles appealed to the bold and pioneering, our growing community is composed of kindred spirits, and today adventure means a lot of things to a lot of people. Our community is filled with climbers, campers, foragers, and explorers.

They’re cooks, builders, athletes, and DIY experts. They’re thrill-seekers, city dwellers, adventure seekers, and modern makers. But the thing they all have in common is their connection to the land around them, their desire to create and support community, and an unyielding will to do the next good thing.
