Hello everyone,
I have a RAM 1500 with the rear AC vents located in the center console, similar to the Scout. During the Miami summer, this design makes it very uncomfortable for rear-seat passengers. The vents primarily cool their knees, which is not good. We end up having to crank up the AC and redirect the front vents towards the back to provide some cooling. It would be much better if the vents were positioned higher, maybe on the pillars or ceiling, for more effective cooling for everyone in the vehicle, regardless of where they are seated. Is not a deal-breaker, but definitely an improvement.

in the audi q8, the set of vents in the middle rear area and also door pillars behind driver and passenger pillar, I hope Scout puts a rear screen like rivian so rear users can control certain things themselves

This is huge. Our Hyundai Palisade has the nice ceiling mount diffusers and our Rivian R1T just has the rear console mounted ones. There should definitely be vents at least in the B pillars.

Bronco has rear vents for 2025 (at least the 4-door does).

I totally agree - Jeep Grand cherokee L got it right with great rear vent placements -they do utilize the rear of the console but its set high with good airflow that reaches cargo; also have side vents in rear seat & in cargo area. Its def a determining buying factor for us!
