Air Suspension won't be standard / universal across Scout lineup

[Scout Fan]

Jamie at Scout has shared this about Air Suspension:

Air suspension isn't currently planned to be universal across our lineup.

So it seems that Air Suspension will be standard for some trims / models, but not all. So it remains to be seen whether it's an available option (or not) for the other trims / models.

Just make it standard…most high end vehicles are moving this direction. There is time to ponder.

Great news! Thanks for sharing. I hope that continues to be the plan.

No thank you. I want a simple vehicle with less things to break.

Great news!

 

[Hedrock]

Yeah, reserve it for the luxury trim. Give me rugged!

Precisely.

I hope air suspension and rugged standard suspension is available for all trim levels. No reason to take rugged suspension away from luxury. And vise versa.

I’ve never had an air suspension so I have to experience it to have any idea.

As I get older my knees are trash so having air for ingress/egress, as well as higher speed travels would be great, then give me rugged for when I'm wheeling!

Which has the better ride quality between the two? I'm assuming air suspension?

 

[Dive Bar Casanova]

As long as replacement parts are available, and if it gives good ride quality,,, may be on our list.

We have it on our Grand Cherokee and it’s amazing for towing, especially attaching and ditching the trailer with ease. It’s also nice to just lift up two inches for off roading which isn’t as often as I’d like but my reality so a great combination. It’s definitely a bit stiff for the trails but a welcome trade off to not have to drive around with a lifted up rig all the time. If you are off roading more than city/highway driving then I could see it not being the best choice though.

We had the Firestones on our Last rig.
Sooo much trouble either with the control or a bag itself.
Customer service was not so good either.

So I switched to Aeons hollow rubber springs and they have been flawless.
5 minute DIY install time, good to go.
Still use them on one truck.

I don't care about fancy self leveling automatic compressor air springs. But I hope they or Firestone offer low cost manually inflated airbag option. Bonus points if you could just see the current pressure in the cab.

That's what I have on my F150 and I love them. They always have the minimum allowed air pressure unless I'm towing my RV and then I air them up. I only have a 450 lb tongue weight so I don't really need a weight distribution hitch. It helps even the rear out just enough on a truck with pretty soft springs for in town driving.
