Integrated winch/wheel traction control is a definite advantage.

Tailgate adds weight/cost (ever see the replacement cost on these!). Would be good option on trucks with lift kits.

Under-seat drawer should have option for lock/secure storage.

This shows the engineering/design staff are hard at work!

Thanks for sharing. I like the tailgate concept. The winch assist also seems like a good idea, although I probably won't need a winch for my use. Hopefully, it could be added later and integrated into control of the drive motors if one found it to be necessary at some point.

I've had my Jeep for a decade. I have factory bumpers and do not have a winch, but do some legit off-roading once in a while. Not sure I would opt for that package even if it does come to market. I would be interested in how it would function while maintaining frunk access.

What I absolutely love is that that Scout is seemingly not afraid to pull up in to the sandbox next to Jeep and Bronco. It's smart to go after hard core rock crawlers in addition to the luxury SUV market.
This will force those other brands to innovate and react as well. It will potentially bring competition that will give us more options as consumers.
