I know it's a year-old article, but Andre over at TFL offered some great suggestions for what he'd like to see with the new Scout.

I would echo his suggestions for the most part, especially the call for keeping the price down by not including a ridiculous amount of horsepower or an air suspension :

• An affordable starting price.
• Retro styling that is rugged and simple.
• Plenty of utility inside and out.
• one electric motor in the front and one in the rear to achieve AWD/4×4. It does NOT need 830 horsepower or 1,000 horsepower. It needs a normal amount of horsepower and torque for a truck this size. How about 300-450 horsepower in total?
• an option to add a “locking differential” in the front and the rear for maximum traction.
• have plentiful ground clearance and approach/departure/breakover angles. It does NOT need a height-adjustable air suspension.
• export power of around 7.2kW to power tools, campsites, other vehicles, or home appliances.
• onboard air compressor.
• a unique feature that no other vehicle has (clever storage compartment or pass-through, a folding bed side, removable seats, or …? )
