FactThe Scout II that finally reached showrooms in 1971 wasn't a last-minute design — it had been shown to management, essentially finished, more than three years earlier.
The Scout II, built from April 1971 to 1980 on a 100-inch wheelbase with a removable soft or hard top, with the 118-inch-wheelbase Terra pickup and Traveler wagon from 1976. The design was finalised much earlier, with a version nearly identical to production shown to management in December 1967. Engines ranged from an IH four to AMC sixes and IH V8s, and a Nissan SD33 diesel six in 1976–1980.

Late in 1970 the 800B offered a Sno-Star package, sold only with the six-cylinder and developed specifically for snowplowing.
The 800A Aristocrat was the last version of the original Scout body: blue and silver paint, a blue vinyl interior and a chrome roof rack.
International quietly offered a turbocharged version of the Scout 800's little four-cylinder that made 111 hp against the standard engine's 93 — real boost, in a mid-1960s farm truck.
A "Red Carpet" package marked the 100,000th Scout built, just 3,000 made, one sent to every U.S. dealer.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
IIHS only crash-tests the driver's corner; tested on the passenger side instead, the CX-5 showed far worse intrusion.
Despite launching from a standing start in late 2025, the i60 topped GAC Aion's own sales chart through January's seasonal slowdown.
Every Defender before this one was body-on-frame — this generation broke decades of tradition with an aluminium unibody structure instead.
Crashed on the passenger side instead of the driver's, the 2014 Forester showed far more intrusion and would have rated Marginal with the IIHS.
Subaru built a 2.5XT for the National Ski Patrol with a diamond-plate floor, a 9,500-pound winch and a toboggan on the roof.
The L405 was the first Range Rover with a fully aluminum monocoque body, cutting up to 420 kg from the outgoing steel-bodied L322.
Rear passengers get a 17.3-inch screen that extends from the roof, and a lidar sensor sits in the front of the roof.
Its range-extender variant is rated for 1,200 km on a tank and charge, over three times the car's electric-only range.
