Harvester Gas Tank location moved to under rear seats & batteries moved to front (tow rating benefit) ⛽️

Does anybody happen to have even a rough measurement of the dimensions from the cargo floor to the ceiling for the Terra? Additionally, the measurement from the folded down second row seat to the ceiling? I have a rather large dog and I need a minimum height in order for me to even consider a Scout. I know that moving the gas tank as well as that four-cylinder engine is going to determine at least some of that equation. What is ironic is that the current Honda Fit (aptly named) that I have right now has 39 inches of height (even though it is a very small car) with the rear seat seats folded completely flat. To make that happen in my Jeep JL, I had to not only remove the rear seat (which took about two minutes) but also build a platform that created a level surface from the cargo area to the rear of the front seats. To make it happen in the sixth generation Bronco, it was a much more involved process in which I had to remove the rear seat, upper and lower sections, as well as retain the wiring in order to keep a warning message from the rear seat seatbelt appearing...and then build a platform that leveled the space all the way to the rear of the front seats. I was considering a Grenadier, but that vehicle also has to have a rear seat removal and then some kind of platform built to get an entirely flat area. It is similar to the Rivian because it is relatively short from the cargo area to the ceiling, even though it is on the larger side overall. I can't figure out why auto manufacturers can't figure out something so simple as a completely flat cargo area...thus far, other than my Fit, the only vehicles I've ever found that are tall enough inside, and that have a completely flat rear area are the Volkswagen Atlas and the older Land Rover LR 3s and LR 4s. I'm hoping that Scout will take a cue from the Volkswagen Atlas and make a rear seat that does in fact fold completely flat and that has the same level as the cargo area.... but with the Scout batteries, and the gas tank, and the generator, I'm wondering if already it might be too short.

Scout hasn't shown the production interiors yet. It's probably best worth waiting until they do. Jamie from Scout mentioned the other day the Traveler rear seats don't even fold down. We still haven't seen what the production bench will be like. We all have lots of questions. Unfortunately, we're just going to have to wait.

Don't fold down in the prototype.

Just FYI, the 2nd and 3rd row seats in the R1S fold completely flat.

LR defender seats in later models fold flat as well because you can remove the lower cushions.

I cancelled my reservation on a Rivian because I realized there was not enough height in the cargo area for my dog...sigh. I understand a lot could change with the current nuances in the Scout from prototype to production, but I doubt the height will fluctuate much. Hoping to get a ballpark figure on that from anyone who may have measured that distance in person.
