Terra- Remove LED trim light on Tailgate

[Scout77]

The LED trim light that wraps around the rear tailgate looks out of place and way too modern. Keep the truck looking like a work horse. I like the stance and the overall design, but hate the tailgate lights. I would disconnect this light if you keep it in the final version. I have reserved this truck and can't wait to see the finished product!

Hopefully they'll offer upgrade masks for front and rear. I'd personally like to see amber turn signals on the rear. The rest of the world recognizes them as being safer and more conspicuous, but the US just doesn't seem to get it.

I love lights. All lights. Give me awesome lighting and lots of it! Tasteful though, not a bunch of RGB stuff all over. Puddle lights, fog lights, accent lighting, zone lighting, rock lights, etc. etc. The ability to turn any/all lights on individually - especially useful for camping.

Anyway, I can’t say I really have any complaints about the lighting that they’ve presented thus far. Looks pretty sharp from my perspective, but I appreciate other opinions.

Maybe they can find ways to make it customizable to accommodate all of our wishes??

 

[Scout77]

I love lights as well! I own a lighting company and specialize in it. I agree with having lots of lights. I have custom rock lights on my current Scout and love them. I also agree with the ability to turn lights on/off individually. Linear lighting in a truck bed however that gets constantly opened and shut and loaded and beat up is asking for maintenance issues and there is nothing worse looking that a partially light strip light! Personally those lights in the tailgate that wrap around look silly.

Seeing in person the white lights look good. Hoping the keep them white but use amber LED below so. EST of both worlds

Agreed on config settings and controls to turn on or off different lighting elements (easily accomplished through the UI or buttons), but no need to take away lights. They can be extremely useful.

Can you elaborate? I’m trying to picture this. Are you talking amber LED turn signals or amber DRL or both or something else?

Both I suppose. I just think the consistency of the white looking lights at all locations looks great verses red here, amber there, as is the norm. If the white plastic out surfaces can all stay white but the bulbs/LED’s can be red or amber so blinkers are correct color that would be nice. In person the vehicles just look clean and consistent with all white lighting elements when not flashing

Okay cool, I get it. Yes I agree - they look clean, consistent, and classy. I can’t say I have any complaints about the look so far and I imagine the concept vehicles look even more slick in-person.

I’d have to see side-by-side pictures/renders with white/clear in the rear to give an opinion there since I don’t have any issues with the current setup of white/clear front and red rear. Good idea!

I guess technically the rear wrap around lights were red and that was fine. I think the amber was my concern. The coolest detail was the cut out Scout logo in tire carrier of Traveler so it wasn’t quite orange but the red was a subtle throw back to IH logo-whether intended or not

Agreed. Yeah the red wrap around doesn’t bug me either.
The Scout logos, especially being lit, were an amazing surprise.

I will not complain about lights. I love lights. In pictures and videos I like all the lights they've put on them thus far. I wonder which will make it to production though...I hope all of them, interior, emblems, all of it.

One could even say the lighted Scout logos were....lit.

I disagree. I think the tail gate lights are super unique and one reason I want the Terra.

I like the wrap through tail lights too. But maybe option in like the infotainment to enable or disable the tailgate part if the lights?

There are lots of considerations to make that happen I’m sure, but I was wondering the same as long as they can get it to pass legal, safety, etc. requirements.

No!!! That's one of the many things I like about it more than the SUV version.
Don't listen to him, Scout. I'll cancel my order if that light is gone

I’d much rather have a conventional tailgate with the European spec tail lights and offer the current lighting as an option.

What do you mean by a "mask"? I definitely would like to see the amber turn signals as well.

Scout was calling the black plastic front grill area a "mask" and same thing for the rear plastic panel with the lights. Think of Zorro!
