Old Scouts never had a rear wiper so it might be a nostalgic thing to not put one. But also with the aero dynamics of the Scout it might not affect the rear glass as much because the way the glass is slopped it might make the water run down naturally.

We had an Ioniq5 with no rear wiper. It was the one and only thing we HATED and that vehicle. Hyundai rolled it out, bragging about aerodynamics and slope keeping the glass clear. That may have worked in factory simulation but not in real world driving. Not enough velocity with stop and go city driving and in snow and mud.
PLEASE put a rear wiper on the Scout!

Hyundai listened and added a rear wiper. A lesson for all automakers.

That's exactly what made me think of it.
