Before Will Szymborska's transfer to Main Grid in June 2007, the Enforcer was the first vehicle to be rebadged as a SZYM (the names SGM and WillMart were dropped). The model name 'Tideway' was first chosen but then changed to 'Entourage'. Besides the addition of two extra gears, it had only cosmetic differences from the Enforcer.

The Enforcer was the first vehicle to be rebadged as a SZYM in preparation for Will Szymborska's transfer to Main Grid in June 2007. The names 'WillMart' and 'SGM/ Second Generation Motors' were both dropped in favor of the shorter name 'SZYM Motors'. The new SZYM model was considered the 'Tideway' but was changed before production started in July of 2007 on MG. Instead, the name 'Entourage' was adopted and a shorter version name would be added to accommodate future light kits (IE: SZYM (Brand name), Entourage (Model name), Ag (Agent, the version name for lightbar style).
