I would LOVE to see a smaller Scout that fits in my garage. I still have my deposit on the Traveler for my husband, but I am looking forward to the Rivian r3. Unless, of course, Scout can make something comparable before the r3 is available. ?

Most likely, a 2-door would be smaller, KaniLea, but an even smaller model will be welcomed.

Jeep Gladiator diesel, Ram TRX/1500 diesel
Had a 2 door Wrangler. Liked the looks (Mohito green is back!) and short turning radius . Definitely more agile off road.. On road the short wheelbase got “bucky” over highway expansion joints (stiffer off road suspension didn’t help). Traded it for a Gladiator diesel when they ended diesel production. Longer wheelbase and extra weight makes for way better on road driving BUT it is a less agile vehicle.

A 2 door Traveler will still be pretty big - kind of the size of of the old Ram Charger. Honestly, might be larger-trucks have gotten wider since then. The Traveler is not really Jeep or Bronco sized.

I thought this too, but checking specs yesterday it looks like the Bronco Raptor and Wrangler Rubicon are very close to the Traveler.

Prefer a 2 door with a 6 1/2' or 8' bed. I don't haul people, I haul stuff. Lumber to my workshop, trash to the dump, cardboard to recycle, tools to a jobsite. I want to replace a Ford F-150 XL 2 door with an electric 4wd truck.
I thought this too. A two-door Terra, perhaps with an extended cab, longer bed, and rear suicide doors.

Scout Traveler SUV
- 207.9 inch length (with rear mounted spare tire / carrier)
- 190.9 inch length (without spare tire / carrier)
- 91.6 inch width (with mirrors)
- 79.9 inch width (without mirrors)
- 120.4 inch wheelbase

Bronco 4-Door
- 189.4 inch length (with mounted spare tire)
- 86.2 inch width (with mirrors)
- 75.9 inch width (without mirrors)
- 85.7 inch width (Raptor without mirrors)
- 116.1 inch wheelbase

Tahoe
Length (inches) - 211.3
Wheelbase (inches) - 120.9
Width, without mirrors (inches) - 81
Height (inches) - 75.8

2nd Gen Ram Charger
Length (inches) - 188
Width - 79.5
Wheelbase - 106


I guess the differences are relative - but with the exceptions of the extended wheel flares of the Raptor, the Bronco is smaller in every compared size, and the Tahoe is larger. Exterior seems to me closer to the Tahoe (only large difference is if you delete the spare tire), but due to design, interior-maybe closer to Bronco?

I was a bit off on the Ram Charger-it was a 2 door with some similar dimensions. Removing the doors just shortened the wheelbase
BroncoTahoe2nd Gen Ram Charger
length-with spare-8.5"+2.4-2.9
length-w/o spare+20.4-19.9
width (with mirrors)-5.4-.4
width (w/o mirrors)-4 (+5.8 Raptor)+1.1
wheelbase-4.3+0.5-14.4

Likely not since 2 doors in general are not big volume sellers in the US, 2 door SUV's even less so there just isn't any profit in it and a new company needs to show a move towards profitability.

Scott implied a Travelall would be the next vehicle they add to the lineup, since 3 row full size SUVs are cash cows for manufacturers.

I can see a sporty 2 door model coming eventually and there was one teased at a press conference or the intial launch in one of the slides. It was shorter than the other two but it was partially covered by a blanket. But it would probably be the mid 2030's before we see one.

Manufacturers are adjusting to the times. Audi dropped the convertibles for 2025. Ford only makes 1 car for the US(Mustang). Toyotas keep getting bigger. Sales for 2 doors are in the toilet except for sports cars which also don't sell as well as a vanilla SUV. I don't see a startup digging in on a low sales number design fresh out of the gates.

I would definitely go for a 2 door, it’s more like the original.

All I know is if they announce a 2 door convertible, I’ll be requesting my money back for the other two. I’ll have waited long enough, what’s another year or so!
