Towable Behind an RV and 3rd Row Seats

[afrank1971]

I know the topic of making it flat towable behind a motorhome has already been discussed, please DO make that possible, with a true four wheel neutral, and would suggest having a configuration option available to have the wiring for brake lights, turns signals, etc..., and auxiliary braking, preferably pneumatic in my case for a motorhome with air brakes, available from the factory. In fact, have an option to purchase a towbar from the factory as well, maybe work with Stowmaster or Blue-ox. In that light, also please make it possible for the vehicle to charge its batteries while being towed so that your batteries will be full when you get to your destination each day.

Meanwhile, regarding possible third row seating, if a third row could be included, but fold flat in place, like the Honda Pilot, that would be great. Wouldn't have to be full-size seats, they're more of a there when you need them kind of thing. Also, having them always there, but folded flat out of the way makes them actually usable when you happen to need them. Removable full-size seats are just not worth consideration, and when you need them, you don't have them.

Those are my suggestions, hope you consider them, and if so, then I would look forward to changing out my Wrangler for a Scout.

Welcome to the community. Scott the CEO has discussed a potential 3 row being next. The Traveler is a little bit wider than the Pilot but it’s about 10 inches shorter. Having seen it in person I just don’t see being able to fit a 3rd row in there and have it be comfortable or big enough for an adult. I really think it needs to be the next iteration, a modern version of the Travelall so to speak.

I don’t tow, but I sure do hope all of you get what you want in that regard.

Welcome again.

We have a Honda pilot and I’ve seen the Traveler twice. Third row seats would be basically useless. As @cyure noted the 10” less length would make them barely useable for a very small child. I’ve been in our third row once when we had my in-laws and that was horrible in rear of pilot. Unfortunately I think Scout would lose money offering that option but to repeat it’s been said multiple times that the next model out from SM will be a 3-row-and presumably be called the Travelall. Then likely a smaller pick up and hopefully a smaller lifestyle SUV like Jeep/Bronco then a bunch of us have said a Metro inspired CUV/micro utility van would be an awesome option. But nothing has been carved in stone

Third row seating is nice when you need it, but honestly I don't really want the Traveler to be long enough for it to be useful. I also don't want to waste the space of a folding third row.

I don't know how much I would be willing to spend to flat tow - but it is a very nice feature to have when you need it. Flat towing a vehicle the weight of the Scout will have a somewhat limited appeal - but I know I flat tow my Jeep occasionally and love the ability to do that - and I don't even have an RV.
