4x4 air suspension?

I read that too, but that article is new information and it makes it sound like the air suspension will be the only offering. Of course, it could be out of context or directly pointed at a certain trim, time will tell.

I'm all for air suspension being an option for those that want it, I just don't want it being forced.

I cant see scout going completely with Air Suspension. It could be an option. But i feel like they probably have looked into how it went for Rivian. Which we all know suffer from alignment issues due to the suspension changing.

I'm a visual person. So what I'm picturing in my head. The adaptive air suspension, like on the Cyber truck and Hummer.

They're using a lot of Rivian software and the zonal architecture. It's not a big stretch to think they would use the same suspension system Rivian is using. If you read the Rivian Forum's there are countless complaints of the air suspension having chronic issues; Vehicle sagging, suspension collapsing, compressor burnout, chronic alignment issues, unsettled driving as the suspension constantly adjusts height, etc.

With all that said, I love Rivians and if they didn't have the air suspension I would own one.

VW group uses air suspensions in many of their brands, including SUV'S. I would not assume Rivian will be their first choice.

Not air suspension but we extended test drove a F150 lightning and were really impressed how nice it rode.
I'm in for any option that gives good ride quality as long as I can fix it if it grenades.

It's a Scout that can rock and roll all night and party every day.

hey dont get me wrong i like to rock and roll part of every day.

day dreaming of a harvester with OME suspension, but the air setup definitely has me curious. hoping scout’s vision for incorporating tech lines up.

I hope that the scout is fully customizable. No trims, just make it you own.

I remember when my mom bought a new car one brochure said “ options too numerous to list.”

Scout can create option package, like off road package or comfort package, but all options start with a base model.

I may have mentioned it but anyway, we clicked the "Build Your Own" on the GMC website.
Gave us the price.

Then we contacted the GMC dealer we usually buy from and they had more factory installed options available than GM listed on the website. Nice stuff we really wanted but had no clue was available.

Just the opposite with Tesla.
We walked into a Tesla Showroom at our local mall.
The rep sat with us and we worked up an order.

She didn't have nor was aware of some options available that were on the Tesla Website.

There aren't that many Tesla options to begin with, but they were important to us.

I kid you not, this is no exaggeration.
My mom once ordered a Chevy II (Later called the Nova) and the V8 was a dealer-installed option.

Dad sold his '57 T'bird when gasoline hit 25 cents a gallon.
