Tow Hitch on Scout Traveler & Terra production models confirmed. Location you prefer?

[Scout Fan]

Tow hitch on production Scout models has been confirmed by Jamie from Scout Motors:

"The concepts didn't have them, but the production vehicles will offer them. No word yet on location specifics."​

Now where would yall like to see the tow hitch receiver located exactly?

Hideaway' hitch like Volvo has I have it on my xc90 love it 2" ball 5000 lbs bike rack attachments

For the Traveler it just needs to be setup so it can be easily used with the tire carrier installed - occasionally run into that with my Rubicon with a 12.50 spare on an offset swing away carrier.

On the Terra I hope it’s in the normal truck location and not tucked away. Otherwise my chains would be hard to connect. Plus I hope it’s made of thick solid steel class 5 would be nice. Seen videos of Cybertruck being snapped off vehicle due to cast aluminum hitches. On the suv I could see wanting it hidden or tucked away but please keep it usable for the truck.

I want to see a real mounted hitch on both. Not a fake cyber truck hitch or hideaway one like whats on BMWs. It needs to be steel, properly mounted to the frame. Where we can choose what ball hitch we want on it, made scout release their own branded ball hitch.

Trailer Brake Control ?

+1 for TBC anyone ?

Easily removable so I don't accidentally run my shin into it when it's not in use.

Being at 7000 pound capacity please build in the seven prong brake assist system

My reservation is for the Traveler and I need a hitch for a bike rack. I want the spare tire on the tailgate and that means my rack (1Up) might need a hitch extender to mate up with a standard location hitch receiver. My bikes are of the E variety and weigh a combined 100lbs so not too bad from a cantilevered load perspective.

I also carry a couple of E-Bikes fairly often, my CRV required a hitch extender due to spare on rear hatch, 130 lbs total and never an issue. I expect the Traveler to be the same.
