Thats how it should be i should have to take my car in to replace a mirror or fender or door for that matter. It should be simple bolts and screws not custom made drivers or special glue. Simplicity is the way of the future.

Yessss!! Finally no need to shell out hundreds for a service manual.

As much as people say get a 4 runner as a first car in highschool, i think the Scout might become the new 4 runner, its cheaper to maintain and its self repair. I hope they make the harvester easy to do an oil change on that would be tremendous.

Ineos said that also. Parts scarce / unavailable and the repair docs never became available.

Great approach. I would like to see this as a commitment in writing from the company.
The people running the company today won't be around in ten years.

Scout, owned by VW who also owns Bugatti and charges $1200 for a $20 Ford part?

I’m all for right to repair, but I’m not holding my breath the software is open source.

Ford parts have never been used on any VW product. That TikTok was the fakest video ever made you clearly see the jump cut. If anything that part would have been an Audi part, since Lamborghini is a subsidiary of Audi.

Audi is owned by VAG. As is Porsche, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Ducati, Bentley, and more.

Coffee and maintenance when the scout service van comes to pre arranged location has fold out video capabilities where a scout tech can show a video of certain maintained tasks and manufacturers maintenance recommendations. As well of course handing scout hats to the kids as well as selling needed items. Imagine the snap on Scout truck comes to your neighbor not to mention the community it emulates.Jamie needs an Rv save on the hotels
