Scout Terra Debuts in New Silo Color and Retheme

[Chavannigans]

Holy cow, the Terra is a completely different animal in this configuration!!! It came out amazing!

It went from PeePaws Pride and Joy, to Master Chief retires on a cattle ranch.

I think I like the new knob and switch design more than the first design.

I agree.

There’s a video on Instagram people!

In the strongest way possible, I hope 37s become part of the plan.

Only 2 production vehicles I know of with 37s are the Bronco Raptor and (iirc) an optional package on the Raptor/Raptor R.

It’d be a big differentiator, and way more importantly, they look cool af!

Ford had to make expensive changes to its production line to accommodate the 37s. If the option is to have a very expensive upgrade to the production line or for a “prep” package where you go out and buy your own 37s and don’t have to make any changes to the vehicle, I’d suggest the latter.

 

[J Alynn]

Yeah. I would imagine that if these are carried through to production, even with a disclaimer, someone’s going to cause themselves an expensive bit of damage. You can’t protect everyone from themselves.

I think labeling them as running “boards” would be enough assuming there was another option on configurator that lists rock rails.

Interesting. I’d think that Scout could build from the ground up to accommodate them, since they’re starting from scratch.

Is there anywhere I can read about this? I thought I stayed up well on auto industry topics like this but apparently not.

They could, if they’ve already planned to include 37s, but if they hadn’t already planned for it, then they’d have to make changes now, which would be a costly set of change orders. And, even if they had the time to accommodate them, it would be a more expensive factory build, which distributes that cost across all the vehicles.

This wasn't a simple plug-and-play kind of a scenario

headliner with plaid somewhere in the seats as opposed to plaid in the headliner.

We are still working on trim and model lines.

Would be great to see some of those headliner materials be offered on the seats - I'd be all in for a textile alternative, esp. plaid. If I ran into Scott Keogh in a bar here in No. VA, I'd ask to show him my Volvo -

Excellent, thanks! Embarrassed I hadn’t found that myself.

You’re welcome.

There’s too much out there to be embarrassed about asking for help finding something.

Still a fan of plaid. I think SM should have their version of a Plaid model (like Tesla) but just literally do a plaid interior . Then give us (2) in your face plaid options. One lighter and one darker.

@CP1@scoutmotors said that he would meet us around back after we take delivery with an angle grinder and a sawzall for a 30-pack.

I hope that’s a 30-pack of La Croix—if I remember correctly, he’s been sober for a good, long time.

Yep - plaid in light theme and dark themed interiors. Alternatively, if take rate is projected to be low, do a neutral plaid on the seats/doors (like a warmer gray?) and offer with light and dark surrounds that would come with different color leather seats.

Others prefer dark interiors but I can't stand driving in a coffin. Gives me dark thoughts (no pun).

I do not want a dark interior. I’m in all black right now. I’m done with that. I just want dark carpet. The rest lighter.

 

[Chavannigans]

I think this new interior color scheme would look fantastic paired with a Glacier Blue Traveler

Good idea. Pick a plaid color scheme that looks good with a dark gray leather and a lighter gray/beige/saddle color. Sounds good to me

I’d like a mix of Bimini and glacier. I think glacier is a bit too robins egg blue for me but it is a nice shade. Something in the mix of those too would be a nice modern take-but just my opinion
