Power Rear Glass in the Liftgate

[JackieTrades]

I’d love to see a power window option for the rear tailgate on the Traveler. I’d gladly forego the split opening for this. Having it on my Sequoia lets me haul longer items, but it’s also just nice to have that fresh air through the truck.

Absolutely agree. Having a back window that can roll down in my lowly Fisker is awesome. I can go to the lumber store and easily carry a 10’ long board or many boards sticking out the back so I don’t have to take my stinkin van. That is one thing my Fisker has over my Defender….

agree!! Having dogs and hauling them & lots of longer things would be so much easier & more enjoyable. That kind of thoughtfulness for the end user demographic would make the Traveller even more attractive!!

totally agree - @Scout team please look into this!

It'd be nice to be able to roll down that window but there are trade-offs. Having a split gate is very convenient and functional as well but you can't have both.

One work around would be to have that window flip up/open. Then you get best of both worlds. The functionality of the split gate and the convenience of flipping the window open to access things quickly. It could even flip partially open for airflow.

Just today I had to go across town to buy 5 lengths of 10’ Superstrut. Lots of traffic too. Using my Fisker was so convenient with the roll down back window and no gas used. I could easily carry 12’ if I wanted. If I would have had to use my Promaster, well that would have definitely cost me a few gallons and driving a big pig around.

I absolutely would trade having the spare tire and that type of rear for a roll down or flip-up window. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second given the choice. I do love the rear wheel look, especially on my Defender, but I’d use that rear window all the time. In a perfect world you never want to use that spare tire since that means you’ve had some bad luck. So there is that argument.

Having a roll-down window + cabana roof would make it feel more like an open air vehicle.
I'd probably use that more than the split tailgate but at the same time I do love that split tailgate.

Glass that flips up (like a Wrangler) doesn't seem like it's safe to drive with. Those struts would have to be pretty strong and bouncing on the road may put stress on where they attach to the glass.
