What is one feature you hope Scout will include that has not yet been shown?

[Chavannigans]

Agree. I cringe wondering what they cost when they fail and/or what happens when one function breaks-do the others still work? They do add a ton of versatility based on various truck uses-but I fear all the extra parts that can break. At my age-anything to make it easier to get up and into a truck bed is welcomed

My mom has one of the earlier iterations on her 2010 F250. I has been used A LOT on the farm and saved many an ankle from jumping down into a divit or hole created by the wild hogs. Her truck has close to 300k miles on it now and shes still using it in her late 60's. She wouldnt be able to do most of the things she does on the farm without it.

There is a flap that goes over it when its closed and part of the plastic trim piece that sits on it has since flown off. But it still functions well.

I have never seen forum megathreads complaining about constant failures or recalls for tailgate steps breaking. Probably more of a psychological thing if someone is worried its too complex or prone to failures.

Some great insight. Thanks for the posting.

Thanks! I think of how many rusty tail gates I’ve seen and less in modern day vehicles but I just worry that tailgates seem to take a lot of abuse but as I’ve noted, no fight in the game for Terra but if more function works it makes the Terra that much more user friendly

Boy they sure do! Gotta love when people leave them down and back into things. lol


Honestly my biggest concern would be it getting stolen in a parking lot and having to shell out for a replacement.
Its a big problem here in Texas and usually

People steal tailgates? What are they doing with them?

 

[Chavannigans]

People steal tailgates? What are they doing with them?

Yep

Houston man saw his stolen tailgate online and called the police — and it led to a huge bust of blank key fobs

Officials warn the problem is rising nationwide, even though overall thefts are down.

They steal tail lights too.

Cops Bust Ford Super Duty Taillight Theft Ring Blamed for $92,000 in Damage

Higher-end trucks often come with LED lights that have built-in sensors and cost thousands to replace, and thieves have caught on.

www.thedrive.com

Its big business. They steal them and sell them online or to shady body shops.

The tail lights can sell for over $1,000.

Some tailgates cost around $10,000 to replace.

I think adjustable pedals would be nice (similar to F-150). Sometimes I find if I get a good distance for my legs when driving then I'm reaching too far for the wheel even when that is adjusted outwards. Maybe I have a weird body shape or driving style but sometimes bringing the pedals out would be a nice way to get a comfy driving position.

I have had only one vehicle with adjustable pedals and it was handy. Can't say I really miss it. I know my wife would like it because she tends to like her seating position high and with the telescope steering wheel all the way out; and often complains about pedal position. I was unaware the F150 had adjustable pedals. Thanks for that tidbit.

And how about an adjustable dead pedal. I would really like that.

I wonder where I have heard that before Great idea though.

That’s the key. If you want your body orientation balanced you need to offer that if the pedals adjust. I don’t know the best way but if you can’t get them aligned it eventually throws off your body and creates pain over time

Hopefully it’s a better system than Jeep has. I really want an open top but I am nervous about the noise and leakage.

Holes in roofs by any means is like a super hot individual. Everyone wants it when they see it, they are absolutely beautiful; but after living with it for a while you realize it drives you bonkers more than it brings you joy

I you were trying to piss off a bunch of the regulars in this community with that sexist remark, you have succeeded.

Very clearly a joke, edited now for equal sexism

Removable hi output solar panels on the hood.

It’s been confirmed the bench seat will have some forme of a foldable center console so it can be 3 passenger bench or 2passenger and console. Console will not be nearly as complex for the bench seat version but will have something useful.

I don’t know about others but a place to set my phone either laying down or on edge is fine and the more cup holders the better. Anything else is fluff and a place to gather junk. I generally have two cups all the time a water and or other caffeinated drink, cough monster watermelon. And if my wife or others are in the car it’s pretty much the same. I don’t mind a cup holder I a the door but prefer to store unopened cans or bottles there.

I liked the bench seat on my 1965 Coronet. Flat and smooth across like a living room sofa.

My 2001 F150 has a front bench comprised of two semi buckets and a raised center seat. Not my favorite.

I would probably option two front buckets in the Scout over a bench.

There are some comfort creatures that I have grown to love in current cars.

Adaptable headlights, rain sensing wipers, heated and ventilated seats.

But one feature I love is simply being able to walk away from the car and it automatically locking.

What feature would you like to see?

Amen! And great autonomous driving for stop/go highway traffic and lane changing!

 

[Big E Scout]

I'd love to see the range of the height-adjustable air suspension...pictures in access-mode, normal-mode and off-road mode.

 

[6-ScoutFamily]

Hover mode. That’s a software upgrade, right?
