Sunroof please!

[kevcmalo9]

Please provide an option of a sunroof. It’s a must have for me. I’d rather drive a hardtop SUV with a sunroof rather than any type of a removable roof system. The one thing keeping me from buying the Bronco is that there isn’t a solid hardtop/sunroof option.
Thanks for considering.

I think a sunroof is great-love them in/on my cars but with a vehicle who’s history allowed for a removable top and is considered by many to be a lifestyle vehicle offering a fixed top with a sunroof seems like a small selling segment for SM. Since there are 5-6 other solid, off-road focused vehicles with fixed roofs on the market it would, IMO make it harder for SM to enter and define a segment. In a sense a fixed roof with sunroof is just another SUV whereas wranglers and broncos have the one thing no other vehicles offer-4wd/off-road capabilities with a removable/“convertible “ top. It’s the best of all worlds

The multiple-panel removable roof solution to me is the way to go, probably more similar to Bronco than Jeep, light, 3 pieces. Maybe offer something like clear lids (https://www.clearlidz.com/) as an option to swap in for the front panels. I would love to see the back windows operable as well. I believe in the Bronco Heritage (white top) they made the rear side window panels removable, which is one way to do it. Keeping everything simple, light, and flexible is the ideal situation imo.

The orange scout I drove growing up had a solid roof…just sayin’ ?

The Midas ScoutII and Travellers had a sunroof/popup roof over the driver and navigator seat AND the entire roof was removable. I think cake can be had and enjoyed by all. I would venture a panoramic roof like the option on the Flex would bring a modern touch. But removable is paramount.... I sold the roof to my current one, never used it.... literally 8 years it sat on the sidelines in my garage.

Yes, a panoramic sunroof that opens would be what clinches a Scout over the Rivian R2 I have reserved! While I love the open sky feeling, I hate fixed glass (thank you, Tesla…), especially on a lifestyle/adventure vehicle where you want to enjoy the air too. Removable panels are okay, but not great when you live in Phoenix, not to mention the ones on the Bronco rattle. Give me what GM or Kia/Hyundai put on a lot of their SUVs and I’m sold!

Location is important. I hope there is a hard top option. Of the many vehicles I have owned, only 2 have had hard tops. My first, and a Tacoma. Every other one has had t-tops, sun roof, freedom panels, etc... I learned to hate them with the first one that had them, but have had them rammed down my throat on every other vehicle. At least with direct sales, I will not be force to get one because that is all the dealers will stock.

I live in S. Texas. Our cars can easily hit the 170's inside when they are designed like toaster ovens. My current Jeep technically does have an insulated hard top (forgot that one), but it was custom made by a niche manufacturer. OMG it was so much quieter than the stock hard top, not to mention cooler.

Tops are full metal fixed, huge fixed glass pano or huge opening with the cabana operable top

I had a feeling Scout would go with a Jeep-style retractable canvas top. While the the cabana roof is better than the fixed glass option, I’d still prefer an opening panoramic sunroof, like GM or Kia/Hyundai have. It would be nice to have the open feeling of glass, while keeping it closed when it’s 100+ in Phoenix, but then open it up when it’s not, 7 months out of the year. Not a dealbreaker, but keeps it from being the perfect vehicle.
