NC Charlotte Harvester event photos

The bench seat nearly sells the car. (Your partner napping on a shoulder is priceless on a long trip.)

Was that a cell phone clamp holder gadget to the left of the steering wheel above the aux switches? Nice location, but if nit picking on a low res image, it verges on "this is rugged because the injection molded plastics are in rugged video game shapes" rather than a more restrained style like the doors have.

Somebody said it was a custom SM keyfob/controller for the winch

Forgot that part. Thanks for catching my mistake.

Cool photos. I hadn't seen a good birds-eye view of the rack before.

If the winch fob doesn't come with bear spray, I'm out. I can't buy a truck from a manufacturer that doesn't care about my personal safety.

Quasi survival kit/fun stuff canister for in your glove box. Even expandable TP

Wait... ear plugs? For an EV? Heck, I need those in my '66 Scout!!!

Thanks. I was happy with the photo considering how far I had to hang over the wall to get it. I’m not as flexible as I used to be

I chuckled at those as well but maybe for when you are using your electric chain saw?

My understanding has been that the side lights will still be present, but there will be a plastic bezel around them to make production easier.

Sounds like that would change the look an awful lot. Why would that make production easier?

I would assume something about lining things up. Making sure they have a little wiggle room in manufacturing.

Are you talking about these lights?

If I remember the context of my original reply, yes those are the ones he's talking about.

Okay I asked about those. The reason is because on the concepts that light is one piece that passes under the body piece on the corner. On the production vehicles it will be two separate lights. One on the side. One on the back. I was assured it will look just as good as the concept does.

I wonder if they have people at SM that look at designs and say "it will be impossible to wash this or keep it clean" The lights around and embedded in the tailgate are going to be constantly covered due to low pressure area behind the vehicle attracting road grime. Is it possible to get to that light bar for cleaning?

It was explained to me the through hole will be closed but the lights will be fitted in and just a bit different but from General glance it should look nearly identical. Seeing them up close I can absolutely see how they could change to make installation easier and faster without losing much of the look. Less gunk to build up in that pass through hole

Quick side question, what’s the length of the Traveler with the tire carrier? Thanks in advance
