Go look at a 2030 Bronco, I'm sure they will copy the Scout again.
If the Scout had not come out in 61', Ford would still be making the Falcon.

Wow! Sorry to hear this, we too have issues with the rattled window but was corrected with a code from the dealer.Sad to say I’m at the Honda dealership right now trading my ‘23 Bronco Outerbanks for a Pilot. What a nightmare of a car. 1-1/2 years in-steering wheel pops every 5th or 6th time I turn it, windows all rattle (say they may have fix by end of year) and the soft top is already wearing out at the hinge fold and dealer isn’t sure Ford will cover under warranty. Finally had enough.
Hope the Scout is better built!!!
Yeah. Loved the “joy” factor but the issues never stopped. We had already had it in 4 months after buying for a CAM phaser issue that required whole engine to be pulled. Last month the rear passenger window would not stay in up position. Kept auto-downing. They fixed that (code reset I’m sure) but just constant shop time. Hoping your Heritage holds up-you have one-correct?Wow! Sorry to hear this, we too have issues with the rattled window but was corrected with a code from the dealer.
Yes, still have the Heritage. It sounds like you drew the short stick, the Broncos have had well known issues from the windows, hard top issues, transmissions, etc. That's the risk of purchasing new models, I'm sure we'll have our fare shares of concerns with the Scouts. I'm more concerned on how they're dealt with. It's a hard place to be as a new consumer and new model.Yeah. Loved the “joy” factor but the issues never stopped.

I agree. I was prepared and I rolled with a lot but when soft top started wearing through and dealer said no TSB and worried about it happening g again I just decided to lose it. I do t want stuck paying $3-4K for new top when not even my fault. Still love it-just didn’t want stuck in a money pit. Had enough issues as a ‘23 that I feared more to come.Yes, still have the Heritage.

Glad it’s cooperating. Hope it cooperates for another 150K. Enjoy it!Have yet (knock on real wood dash applique in my wife's X4) to have issues with my '21 with 48k miles. Only fully opening the softtop first time just last month may have helped with no top wear.
Also it's a 2.7 slushbox. Engine was even assembled right in the middle of the valve keeper issues.
Yep, it will have to if I expect to replace it with a new Scout - of similar size. 9 additional years will get me to the big reveal of the small Scout - if there ever is one. I won't trade my mid-size SUV for a behemoth Expedition-sized vehicle. Or even an F-150.Glad it’s cooperating. Hope it cooperates for another 150K. Enjoy it!
Same. 2022 Badlands Sasquatch 2.7l two door with lift, 37s, winch and used heavily overlanding. Working great here too.Have yet (knock on real wood dash applique in my wife's X4) to have issues with my '21 with 48k miles.

What @R1TVT is trying to say is this question has been asked multiple times and reading the entire thread he referenced will give you clarity. To simplify your efforts here is a synopsis:All I see on these forums are photos of old gasoline powered Scouts which are great. I also keep seeing on the internet that electric vehicle sales have slowed. My questions is what are you folks going to do if you produce a bunch of electric Scouts and they do not sell like the current EV's. Do you plan to produce some gasoline powered Scouts?
So is the paint shop two stories? Or is that vertical space for assembly/travel conveyors? Looks like a second floor is going in.Our July 2024 update on construction of our new factory in Blythewood, South Carolina is now live on Scout Stories HERE.
