So, I've been driving Land Rovers/Range Rovers for 18+ years now and had a Tahoe and an MDX prior to those.
One of the most amazing things about all of my Land Rover products is that they have each had very well and thoughtfully-designed rear window wipers! They wipe the vast-majority of the surface of the glass! My Tahoe wasn't bad, but the MDX's was a joke! And worse than that was my wife's Touareg. Sadly, all VW products from the Q7 to the Bentayga use the same, dinky little rear wiper! It's not as embarrassing as vehicles like the Mercedes GLS or the Lincoln Navigator and Jeep Grand Wagoneer...but it's not great! I am hoping that VW allows Scout to venture away from this trend and put a proper wiper on the back glass. The one on my Range Rover is awesome, as it's hidden up in the spoiler, and deploys down and wipes almost every inch of glass not blocked by the rear head restraints anyway. So, you have a completely clear rear view... I am hopeful that this is the sort of thoughtful wiper integration that makes it onto the Traveler! Fingers Crossed!!! (It also doesn't pile up with snow or ice due to its little house that it tucks away into...) Another cool feature is that the rear wiper's intermittent setting only does half of the sweep at a time. So, it sweeps the window in one direction, pauses there, and sweeps back. It's another awesome detail as rear wipers tend to wipe too frequently.
Thanks for hearing me out... I can't wait for my truck!!!
