About International Harvester Travelette in brief

Summary International Harvester TraveletteThe Travelette was the first factory-production, 6 passenger, crew-cab pickup truck, made by any U.S. manufacturer. The model line struggled to compete against the more widely available pickup trucks from Dodge, Ford, and General Motors. The Travelette would influence pickup truck design during the 1970s, as American pickup trucks adopted two-door extended- cab pickup trucks. Following the 1975 model year, International withdrew its Light Line pickup trucks, ending production of the Travelette.

From 1976 to 1980, it produced the Scout II Terra pickup truck. From 2004 to 2008, International’s successor company Navistar sold the largest pickup truck ever sold for commercial sale in the United States, the CXTT 7000 7000 series and the RXT 4000 4000 series. In 2010, International exited light-duty pickup production entirely to focus on medium and heavy-duty heavy- duty trucks.
