A Grim Reaper plushie! Just think of how cute it would be!

I love this but for the die hards who have been following from day 1-ish what happens if half don’t like it. Does that mean I take an early order to be included even if I don’t want everything? I’m almost in favor of SM harvesting all our posts and suggestions and offer two vehicles. A mid/upper level road warrior and a low-mid level loaded out for off roading. Then allow a few upgrades in each to make road warrior a bit more off roady or the off-roady gets a couple lux options to bring that a bit more upscale. This basically puts two models with very limited option parts which would be used in the other vehicle anyway so all options would already be on site from the other vehicle’s “base” build

Yeah this idea really depends on how Scout packages the vehicles. If they go the Rivian route where there's very little customization then this idea is dead however the Scout website says "MAKE IT YOURS" and talks about them being customizable so I'm hopeful they don't copy/paste that model.

Using Jeep as an example you really have 2 ways of delivering this. Either a named trimline...

...or a package...

In my head we're talking about a package like the Popular Equipment Group. As the name implies, it's stuff customers buy anyway but with a price advantage through the bundle. Scott Keogh if you're reading this think "Summer of Audi" Edition from your old life where you take a base model car and add a $4K package of in-demand goodies that's worth maybe $5-6K if bought separately. It's really a package for people who don't want a ton of stuff but do want some kit.

Since Scout is brand new and there's no market date on what Scout customers typically buy, this is where the Scout Community steps in and helps create the bundle with them. IMO this will get them closer to customer expectations and add some street cred since they can legitimately say "here's a package that our customers helped put together."

Yes. I like the vehicle manufactures that allow you to check the badge delete box.

I didn't know any let you do that.


i think l Subaru's "wilderness" badge looks especially tacky. There are plenty of other clues on it about the trim level, I think it would look better with more a subtle more subtle badge. Or no badge!

I know people take off their badges. And some manufacturers have black out badging. I’m with you. Honestly I just want it to say Scout and that’s it. Not even the model. Like my Supra. Minimal badging.

I like this as an option!
I still wish Jeep had gone into production with the 'Africa'. I was all set to order one but it never materialized.

How about a scout plaid blanket. You can always use a blanket for pets, wrapping things, camping, etc…. I like the camp chairs too but they need to be high quality so they last

I think this suggestion deserves it's own thread.
