I would love it if Scout would make a convertible 2-Door, however that's not what Scott has said in his interviews. He said they're going bigger, with a 3-row Rivian R1S/Kia EV9/Jeep Wagoneer-fighter (my examples, not his). I think the idea is to bring out a more expensive, large family option, to help grow profits, opening up more possibilities for other vehicles. I imagine a 2-door, more affordable Scout will be in the mix shortly after that. They're going to need something to compete closer with the R2 and R3/R3X, not to mention Wrangler and Bronco 2-doors.
I I would love if a performance Scout was offered. These were taken at the Porsche museam, and both vehicles competed well. I believe Porsche did these legitimate off road racers because they were catching hell of people saying Porsche can only race on level tracks……this stopped that.
Hopefully it gets read by developers, and they say “hold my beer”. Something like this, or a vehicle the size of a Ford Maverick.
2 door version like a 2 door Jeep or Bronco. 3rd row version - compete against Grand Cherokee. Extend cab with a 6'+ bed. Offer a flatbed of that one too - a yute tray (but since I am dreaming, make sure it can deal with a goose neck ball while we are dreaming).
That all said they will not have the niche size as what is currently being offered. The Harvester is nice, but without full towing capacity - I don't need another vehicle that can not tow. I have 1 good towing vehicle, and my wife likes to borrow it too much. Her Jeep can not tow her horse trailer - and the Harvester right now could not either. It probably could tow my lawn mower or boat - so maybe... I don't need another 2 door either, don't want another 3rd row. The only one that would be damn tempting is an extend cab truck with a 6'+ bed - and it would not sleep better than the Traveler. But maybe with a yute cap with an AC - ok, damn tempting. But the market for that would be tiny - the price would probably be more than I want to pay for such a small market vehicle. Right now, the tray and the cap would be a $20k upgrade (and honestly, the caps I have seen so far I don't really like anyway - I would want something shaped more like the Moonlander camper-but no taller than the rooftop).
