Accessories Poll For Scouts

[pwrofgrayskull]

I casted my vote for a roof rack and molded mats. Please consider offering them as thick well made mats. Not the super thin flimsy mats that are offered with most new vehicles. For reference look at the 2023 Bronco molded mats. They are incredibly thin, they don’t stay in place and they look very cheap. Thank you!

I completely agree. After having Jeep all-weather mats, I was definitely shocked at how thin Ford made the Bronco version. I suppose they still work, but they’re thin enough that they don’t always stay conformed to the curves they were intended to hug.

I’d vote for a Scout version to be able to stay put, to take a beating, and still look good/rugged.

Was playing around today building a new Toyota 4-runner and stumbled on some cool accessories that would be cool in a similar manner. Using the option of phone, card, wrist band for access the hidden key holder compartment is great along with the other options for the same niche space. Also like the “themed” cords. If Scout did like braided orange plug cords I’d pay for that option. The Lexus we bought came with a pack as part of tech option and they are really nice-and a touch longer than typical cords. Just thought these were cool ideas

I said it in other thread would just like to add it here, having a folding mirror option would be a great help

Folding mirror would be great on a vehicle this wide. Also Scout engineers please spend time on things I can't change. Bumpers, roof racks, lights and things that bolt on and off will be in after market world. I'm in church and weather outside getting cold and wife in pretty dress, want to get out my phone (silent mode) and turn on heated seat and set cabin temp. Tesla has forward camera that records all the time, nice if your in or witness mishap. Century mode, camp mode, dog mode, light shows and crazy fun stuff big brain engineers come up with. Work on that and leave things that need wrenches to us. Thanks

One thing I would like to add is folding mirrors. Such a great feature when in the city. The Scout seems nice and wide so just by having the mirrors fold in can save some space. Just a thought

Yep, I have to agree about the whole wrenches part and I’ll add to that - Scout Motors please, please, please design the vehicles in a way that is friendly to aftermarket designers and engineers. Don’t make it difficult on the aftermarket. If it’s difficult to design for, the aftermarket will provide fewer options and at the same time they’ll also charge more for their products.

Again, please keep the aftermarket in mind during the design process as it shouldn’t be taken lightly. It sounds like some of that may be happening already, but please keep this in mind as it helps a community thrive around certain vehicles and I want to see Scout Motors capitalize on this. Trust me, there are many people out there who base their vehicle purchases partially on what is available from the aftermarket for each of the vehicles they are considering.

I don’t care as much about what factory accessories you can get, but please make it so that aftermarket add-ons are super easy.

It's sometimes the small things that get overlooked. Somehow Chevrolet did it with the Silverado not even an option for mirrors to fold and the trucks are inching wider in width it seems every year. Another option should be in towing to have a trailer brake controller, small but useful features, that I would hope wouldn't be overlooked. I'm not as concerned if it has a slide out Blackstone grill in the frunk as I am of don't forget the basic standard features and options lol

I know everyone may not agree but I think the mirrors should be power folding, not manual. That’s a pain and another dirt point when you don’t need to have dirty/wet hands

And if they can’t fold automatically, please have a dedicated space in the car for a sanitizing wipe dispenser/little pull-out trash can for said wipes so folks can clean their poo-poo hands when they have to touch gross stuff.

I needed more than 5 to select! Some of these are table stakes (or is it steaks? )

Most if not all of these would be great.

My car has a nice feature where the passenger mirror can point down when you put the car in reverse. It's great for seeing how close to the curb or edge of the road you are. I use it every morning for backing down a long driveway with a steep drop off on the side.

I get allergies, so I'd use the space for kleenex. Wipes would be good to have too.

Always a great feature and nice to have. Forgot some cars do that

Nice thing is, if you already have power mirrors, it's just a software thing, so no additional per-unit cost. A freebie.
