  1. Scout on CBS Saturday morning today! [Watch the video segment]

    Honestly, I'd much rather a "pick and choose" from a laundry list of options to add/delete to keep pricing lower than having package levels. I hate paying for a full package of options when I only want one thing in it. Hate to take it back to Jeep but when I purchased my 2018 Rubicon, the real...
  2. Digital rearview mirror (useful on Traveler with spare tire carrier)

    First time I saw one was the other day in my boss' vehicle. I loved it! He has a Lexus SUV which has the cargo area outfitted for a space for his dog so the back window is always blocked. He said it's one of the main reasons he chose that vehicle.
  3. Opinion: Why the Scout nails it for EV Trucks / SUVs: Towing & Long Distance Trips

    I believe the concept Traveler only has enough power to move it from location to location. He mentioned driving 15mph and that was probably at it's max. (I wouldn't call that one a test mule...the test mules are out but most likely masked with different bodies).
  4. Room to sleep IN both vehicles!

    I need to see this setup. You have a hammock that is hanging INSIDE your Bronco? When you sleep is your face right at the roof?
  5. Spare tire carrier optional on Traveler? Alternative locations for mounting spare tire?

    I'm assuming that a power hatch is a no-go. (Or maybe only an option if you delete the tire carrier).
  6. Off-Road Lights - light bars, ditch lights + easy AUX switches setup

    I believe that he's talking about Rock lights. Lights that illuminate the ground directly around the vehicle so when you're rock crawling at night you can see where your wheels need to be.
  7. Finance or Lease?

    I'm currently in a Jeep 4xe lease. Only due to the unknowns with the technology on my end. I had a 15K per year lease and my buyout is $40K. Same vehicle on lots is $32K. They have plummeted and I'm so glad to be able to let Stellantis/Jeep eat that huge depreciation rather than me take it...
  8. Finance or Lease?

    Just wondering what you will do when it comes time to sign on the dotted line. Normally I finance but with EVs and the constant improvements to technology in battery range, I am leaning towards leasing and seeing how that plays out. Just thinking 3-4 years after purchase it'll have 40-60K...
  9. 4x4 air suspension?

    It's a Scout that can rock and roll all night and party every day.
  10. Maintainability and Accessibility of Range Extender

    Insulation? The engine will be there regardless so wouldn't the heat transfer be basically the same? (If the "lid" had a proper seal) My bigger concern would be the noise entering into the cabin.
  11. Maintainability and Accessibility of Range Extender

    Maybe the cargo area will have a panel that can be removed or opened to get to it from the top.
  12. Potentially optional equipment

    I was just thinking about this yesterday while waiting for my daughter... The ability to stream video to the screen while the vehicle is not in motion. Carplay/Android should open up all options when parked.
  13. Factory delivery will be available ... are you taking trip to Scout plant in SC for it?

    I'm in MA. 770 miles away...that's doable but definitely need some charging time built in.
  14. Stereo / Audio System Brand - Poll

    I'd like a McIntosh system but no matter what system they put in these, I hope it's premium. Even with systems by those listed, most times when they are in a mass-produced vehicle, they are of a lower quality. Good enough to pass the test but not "mindblowing." Almost like buying a John Deere...
  15. Harvester Engine (Range Extender) will be a VW engine, quiet, and tucked away

    Exactly what I was thinking when I saw that. I was under the assumption that the Harvester would just extend the charge term. So if it's only 150miles on EV, at some point the Harvester kicks on and charges the battery to a point that would extend it to the 500 mile range by slowing down the...
  16. Potentially optional equipment

    Aside from the basic amenities that we know we're getting... The built-in camera WITH ABILITY TO SAVE is one of my top wants. My Jeep has forward and back facing cameras but they don't save or record footage. Ventilated/cooled seats Wireless Carplay (I'm sure this is a no-brainer) Wireless...
  17. Consumer Freedom and Scout Motors in South Carolina - Statement From Scout VP of Growth

    I'm lost. If you can take delivery in SC, why can't you buy in SC? Couldn't they turn an area at the plant into a "dealership?" Do dealerships need to be a "middle-man" to be considered a dealership? Seems very backwards to think that if I live in SC, I need to travel to a different state to...
  18. Make the spare tire on the back of the Traveler optional.

    Ok, if that's the case then it most likely will go underneath like the Terra.
  19. Make the spare tire on the back of the Traveler optional.

    Maybe the swing-out tire carrier is optional but the location of the spare isn't. Think of Jeeps. Their spares are on the tailgate but you can purchase aftermarket tire carriers that swing out.
