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

[J Alynn]

One of my minor worries with accessories from Scout and with the aftermarket not being "Plug-n-Play". 100% agree about the cargo cover being an option for those that want/need it. The major thing I didn't like about the Acura cargo cover is it is almost impossible to store inside the MDX if you need the 3rd row up (have to plan ahead and take it out).

Just would like the Scout to have the built-in design for accessories to be more Plug-n-Play without having to drill holes, cause permanent damage if removed, or voids a warranty. This would include different roof racks, Starlink/5G/XM systems, 360 degree AUX lights, tow winch, side steps, etc...

Yeah-that box tube was a hassle as you noted. And to @cyure ’s point we had a Bronco and was amazed at how much after market accessories were available and the majority of items we bought all connected with existing bolts in the Bronco or with the accessory holes so if SM paid attention-and I’m sure they have, it should be very flexible

Yes, but, I don’t think you can expect the aftermarket to appear fully matured when Scouts become available. I want to see it too.

Faith and patience.

And lots of speculation

I can’t believe they aren’t planning on that. Especially since they have mentioned their own accessories shop will be putting on things like bumpers etc. There will be money for Scout as well if they have easily swappable bumpers and racks, etc.

Those are very handy. The Wrangler does not have one. Do Broncos?

The factory tonneau covers are fugly and attach to the outside. Not a huge fan. I found one on the Internet, fits in the rear area behind the seats and covers the back.

I don’t know where to put this. This seems like as good a place as any. I was behind a Honda Passport Trailsport yesterday and I notice the tow hitch. Instead of just the little black square plug they had the fox head that was outlined in orange.

It got me thinking, I don’t think we have seen where the tow hitch will be. On the Honda it was in line with the bottom of that rear skid plate so the skid plate wasn’t straight across. If that makes sense. I didn’t like it. Im hoping it’s below on the Scout and doesn’t interrupt the skid plate.

Also it would fun if we instead of just a square plug they had ones with the Scout logo on it in the blue or the orange.

What is the "Fox head"?
Do you mean a FOX racing hitch cover?
What do you to tow?

Thats exactly it!

Nothing, but here’s my next question. Will they all come with a tow hitch or will that only be included in a tow package?

Towing capacity varies by configuration.
Final towing and payload numbers for all models and configurations of the vehicles will be released closer to production, which is targeted to begin in 2027.

Patience!!! LOL

I’m trying!! I know I say it all the time, but it’s so hard sometimes!!!

Hmm, I've seen the trailer hitch somewhere... Gotta figure out where I saw it, but it was just below the bottom of the rear bumper off the main rear cross-member.

Here is the back of the Traveler. Maybe the Terra has one, but I don’t see one in this picture.

Nevermind, it was in a patent drawing. Even so, I suspect that's not far off.

I might have to add an hitch extension for my StowAway2 Max swing out carrier or Quik-R-Stuff Mach2 hitch bike rack with the Scout spare tire kit?

May be an add option as there are many that won’t need a hitch. I rarely need one but is nice to have when you do need it

Sure you aren’t thinking of the boxy front winch hook?

Here’s another angle. Missed it at Hudson as there were always people standing around the rear each time I circled the traveler

 

[SpaceEVDriver]

Both the Traveler and the Terra had hitches in Scottsdale.
