A factory Hard or rolling tonneau cover would be great. I have the rolling Tonneau on my Hyundai Santa Cruz and it is very useful. Also will improve range due to reduced air turbulence in the bed.

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
I currently have a rolling cover and it’s one of my favorite options on the truck. It’s just a simple manually operated rolling cover. It works. I love it.
I don’t really have any interest in a bulky or heavy hard cover at this point.

The one downside to a rolling retractable tonneau is the extra bed space used by the box that the cover retracts into. Not a deal buster but still taking out a 6"×6" space at front of bed (and that's on a Frontier, for a larger bed on Terra think 8 to 10 inches square) would impact a full length drawer system
One thing I do want to add regarding roll-away tonneau cover, which I think Scout should DEFINITELY offer, is that it should also have a track /rail t-slot system for mounting additional accessories. Retrax system. This is especially critical for off-road and camping scenarios. I have a ladder rack system for hauling my kayaks, for instance. Another for my tent platform. I've seen others with attachment points for all sorts of gear. But the ability to shut/lock the tonneau with additional organization and storage options above is great. https://realtruck.com/b/retrax
