Winches are already a sure shot, but let’s not forget the reason the original Scout died…….it didn’t advertise or appeal to women.
With the average female height about 5’3”…..I am not posting anything to be incendiary, but let’s really look how many women, men, and disabled will be distanced from go without easy entrance/egress.
I would hate this small oversight to literally be something that assists on repeating history.
Sure give us a winch……but let’s also make sure our daughters, sons, and disabled can access comfortably, that is where powered running boards come in.
While there are generic “universal fit” ones, the engineers can design these to assist in vehicle safety if a strong metal, be skid bars when folded in, but also allow a broader spectrum of people to enjoy entrance and egress and the brand as a whole.
This is probably more important than even I am making it out to be.
