Scout should build the entire system for flat towing from the 2" receiver hitch back. I assume there is a chance that maybe the front and rear motors could be disconnected if there are mechanical lockers. Even if that's the case, or if it's not here is how flat towing should work. There should be inertial sensors in place that senses the Scout is being towed. The Scout should then provide supplemental power to its own drive terrain to assist the towing vehicle. Mapping could and should be built into the Scout app so that while towing you can have the app up on a phone or tablet mounted in your RV. The mapping would assist in making more intelligent decisions for when to regen, assist, and coast. Flat towing brake systems are essentially using inertia to sense when to break already so it should be feasible to do it in the vehicle itself without more hardware pushing the brake pedal. The last most important piece is that even if Scout doesn't use mapping for anything else, it should at least be aware of your final destination so that when you have arrived for the night the Scout has regen'd the last several miles to a reasonably usable level between 60 and 80 percent. I think this is all possible, but it comes down to how many people will use it. Right now Jeep is by far one of the most popular brands for flat towing and being able to achieve this to compete with them would be huge.
