Appealing to women - I will agree it is necessary. I bet women account for 3/4 of Jeep Wrangler sales. I have no doubt you are right though - the original Scout did not market to women. It was from a tractor company - and I am sure that effected how women/wives viewed it. Jeep has all but...

Not opposed to options - but honestly, everyone is crying this vehicle is too high, while I wonder why it is so darn low. My kids have never had an issue getting into my wife's Rubicon that has a door height of 24". My 10 year old son (who is fairly short for his age, lowest 25 percentile) did...

I think it is kind of relevant to differentiate between low cost (not price) items that are often used as high margin add ons for market segmentation and actual high cost add ons. I grew up, even intermittent wipers were a fairly expensive options - abet they cost the car manufacturer little...

Definitely would consider it - but would factor in time and cost. I drove 1100 miles to trailer a used vehicle home. Will hopefully be driving a 2k mile trip in a month or so to pick up a new boat. Honestly the boat is economics - shipping would cost at least $4k. That said - I am sure many...

I can only extrapolate from a lot of other gas engines. 100-200hr service intervals are the norm. When I look at engines with hour meters rather than odometers - it is the case. If I do quick math - it basically holds for odometer engines as well. Add to that, many engines have a minimum of...

For me there are a lot of unanswered questions and a lot of production uncertainties. We are easily looking at more than 3 years out. Concept vehicles to production generally have a lot of changes, and honestly range tends to be something that initial goals never really truly reach. I have...

Will admit, this is one of the most worrisome issues to me. I live 90 miles from a VW dealership. That means about 75% of the time, something is busted on my Golf. It takes 2 people, 2 half days to get anything worked on. My then new F250 had problems - it was not doing good at all (every...

I have been perfectly happy with KO2's on long road trips. It is not as if they are mud tires, they are fairly mild all terrains. But sure - offer a on road variant of an off road vehicle. Jeep even does that... Jeep even went so far as to offer a 2wd version of the Wrangler for a time...

I think they are already planing on making aftermarket bumpers an option. I have used and enjoyed a front receiver hitch - it is not a huge deal to me. IF they allow flat towing, a bumper designed for connecting a toad hitch harness would be far more relevant to me.

This is going to be a heavy vehicle - and while it will have regenerative braking, it will still need some serious brakes to stop quickly. My LJ is a LOT lighter (probably thousands of pounds lighter), and many people accepted the trade offs to go to 17" wheels to get larger discs in their...

What I read was that the Harvester would come on after 150 miles - not that the vehicle would specifically have a 150 mile EV range. My bets is the generator will be no more than large enough to maintain highway speed - and it might be considerably less. It might be just large enough to get a...

Probably a small enough following that it will never be done - but a few people might like a third option - the extended 2 door. Jeep has done them several times over the years - but never for long. To me, the LJ (TJ Unlimited-the only 2 door Unlimited) was the perfect sized Jeep. A couple...

Few thoughts. 1) most hybrids have limited range on battery. This is not technically a hybrid, but an EV with a range extender. It will still have a significant battery. Hard to guess what the price difference might end up being. 2) I have read that the generator will cut in after 150 miles...

I like knowing that dog and camp mode are planned for. Night mode could be nice too, abet I am curious what it will actually entail - I have almost considered doing a blackout mode on my LJ (for driving off road (my ranch) with night vision). My LJ currently has a 3 part opening - unlatch and...

A lot is not detailed in the implementation. Personally I suspect that at best, the generator will cover the load of powering the vehicle at highway speed (with the AC or heater on)... That said, it is a range extender - so it might not cover the full load of the vehicle at highway speed, and...

Little bright for OD Green - perhaps matt? Looks very close to what I had my old IROC painted.

I occasionally tow heavy trailers - so I will not be giving up my F250. Those are gooseneck trailers and I have no clue if even the Terra will be rated for a gooseneck. Likewise, I doubt the Scout would really enjoy towing my RV (abet it is probably within the spec for the Terra). That said...

79.9" makes a lot of sense. Hitting 80" requires clearance lights. A thread on another Scout forum brought it up - where are the clearance lights (if it was actually over 80"). Before the current super wide trucks (Raptor, Tremor, TRX, Hummer) - only trucks with dual rear tires hit the width.

None. It will just be added to the fleet and become the new daily driver. All of our vehicles are gaining mileage, and having a new daily driver will slow that down. We will be downsizing the fleet gradually as our kids leave home (they will get to take one with them-I don't believe in giving...

The weight is not a huge factor with my tow rig, but it would be VERY nice if Scout came with it pre-wired and set up for braking. I hate to say it, but the main thing I love about flat towing is I can generally tow my Jeep to the repair shop... --- now I seriously doubt they would do it, but...
