From the article" "Volkswagen came by the Scout moniker when its Traton truck division took control of Navistar International, the descendant of International Harvester, in 2020."
I had no knowledge of this. I wondered why a well-established International Truck dealership at Markham & Sheppard in Agincourt went out of business a few year's ago & is now an MTO yard.
Right now established automakers and heavy truck makers, actually the market, is in upheaval. It is all due to the dissonance between what buyers want & what is DICTATED by the authorities.
I was always a Scout fan. I remember sitting in a brand new '69 Scout & 1210 Pickup with camper at the 1969 Toronto Sportsman Show. A friend's brother in law worked for International Harvester in Burlington back in the 1970s and would always spec a Scout II for a company car. He always went 345 V8, 4-speed close-ratio, locking rear axle, dual exhausts & 3.54 gearing. It surprised the odd Mach 1.
