Looking through the suggestions I could not find one in the suggestions box for this request, but this https://scoutmotors.community.forum/threads/terra-rear-bumper.1055/ was in the Terra discussion. Adding here for the voting aspect.
In the current design of the Terra, the rear bumper has no way to step on it to get into the bed. This should be changed to have a flat top and/or a step in the corners of the rear bumper itself so that you can step on it and then into the bed of the truck. With this being a full sized bed truck, the ability to get in and out of the bed is greatly reduced if there is no flat portion on the bumper to stand on to get into the bed.
Personally, I believe that the foot wells that have been integrated into the body at the front of the bed should exist in the bumper as well, along with a flat top bumper for standing on. This would allow you to have a good foothold while getting in the bed with the tailgate up or down and have a very secure way of doing so. This would be similar to the corner step that exist on 'newer' GM vehicles https://gmauthority.com/blog/wp-con...t-2018-Wyoming-012-CornerStep-rear-bumper.jpg
This could all be done with the Scout design framework by utilizing the same foot well design as in the middle of the Terra in the bumper, and having the top of the bumper follow the contour line that goes from the front bumper, through the entire body, to the back bumper, and rather than the back bumper angling the same as the front bumper on the top, keeping parallel with the bed of the truck. This could be changed by the design team of course, but that contour line exists through the entire vehicle and keeping it going with the bumper to use as a step looks like it would make a lot of sense from the design prospective as well.
