CENTER SEAT HEAD RESTS!!!!!!!
Dangerous center seat!
Please pass this to those that can make changes.
Both Scouts look awesome! I want a Scout truck with the flat bench (finally), and possibly the suv,
HOWEVER,
I probably won’t unless this gets fixed. Also once this safety hazard is realized by the public it will likely prevent some sales, like it has for GM, and others. Many friends bought Ford expeditions, like me, over the GM Yukon or Tahoe because there is no center head rest.
I noticed you guys did not have head rests that can be raised in the center seats. That is extremely dangerous for the person riding in the center seat. High risk for breaking one’s neck in an accident. I’ve worked in trauma cases for this very reason. Honestly it should not be allowed legally.
Ford, Honda, and some others provide a small, raisable, even removable center headrest, that when down still offers a clear line of site. I know some manufacturers don’t put them in because of line of site. This makes zero sense. When someone is sitting in the center, that line of site is gone, and now with a high risk for neck injury. It’s simple, place a small raisable head rest like several of the manufacturers, a simple fix that can save someone’s life.
Hopefully this gets passed to those that can make this simple paralytic sparing, lifesaving fix. Please fix it, even if I don’t get one. Manufacturers should not be allowed to produce seats without them.
The concepts are missing a number of details that will be in the regular production vehicles. In the case of the bench seat, it is missing not only an adjustable center headrest, but seat belts and a fold-down arm-rest with cup holders and storage. Since these concepts are hand built, there were a few things for the sake of cost that were different.
When it comes to safety, rest assured no corners will be cut.
