If they are bring back the good stuff, then go all the way, the 4070 w/8V92 Detroit. |

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

LOL!! DD Engines are ALL Gone. DD is wholly owned by Daimler, IOW Mercedes. The Too Slow for the Road Too Fast for the Field Internationals are long Gone, 4070 tanks were far too heavy, 9670s were a improvement but not by much. All IH trucks above a Loadstar were Boat Anchors for weight.
The entire chant we had in the Garage: International, Too fast for the Field Too Slow for the Road, GO International; If it don't Run Paint it Red, if Still don't Run Chrome it, GO International!!! Edited by DMiller - 16 Feb 2024 at 9:06am |

Wonder if they'll prefinish them in rust accelerant such as IH did? They sure rusted quickly from new.

VW ended up buying the name "SCOUT"... They plan to make that an OFFROAD Truck Division.... Maybe not the name of the truck... They plan to make a SUV and a TRUCK sold under the SCOUT banner...both electric.

The original copies of all these "retro" styled vehicles had an allure, and personality of their own. So far, nobody has replicated that with their renditions. My opinion of course.

Very true- but you have to remember that decades have gone by- we thought these were cool, back then from the true IH company- ALOT OF folks will latch on to this EVU thing ; for Volkswagon to even concept this is awesome-- those Germans know whats happing in the US- and sad too,, remember SIEMENS -ALLIS,, yeah

If its the Challenger, Mustang, Camaro... or the Bronco, Blazer, Jeep ... anything that is REDONE 50- 60 years later will appeal to the 60-80 year old Crowd. Thats where the money is to purchase and live a little in the past... If one of the brands takes off in sales, then the Younger Crowd sees that and jumps in for more sales.
You got to admitt, some of these designers are pretty good at taking a 60 year old design and turning it into a 2024 vehicle !

What is Ironic is IH/VW is marketing a GMC as its Mid Size truck, so why not rebadge a Bronco?

That even looks like a GM product inside. Never have seen one in person. I thought it would be like when Brockway and Mack shared the same cab; looked the same on the outside, but completely different interior.

Sounds like the Sterling and Dodge relationship in regards to the rebadged Dodge pickup. Nightmare to have serviced anyplace and both were owned by Daimler.
