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?

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
