For filmmaker Andy Best, an old Scout truck isn’t just a vehicle — it’s a family legacy, an artistic muse, and an unlikely hero in the aftermath of disaster.

An artist, a Scout 80™, and a bold electric vision. Matt Allen’s creative EV conversion proves what happens when family, design, and persistence collide.

With no digital legacy to inherit, the user experience in the new Scout® trucks will start from a true clean slate. Watch the video to see how it’s being done.

Tucked in a box at a picked-over estate sale, a batch of old photo slides revealed a road trip for the ages—Doc, his family, and their trusty Scout 800™ exploring the American West in the ’70s. No names, no captions, just sun-faded snapshots to fuel the imagination.

From wrenching out of necessity to preserving a legacy, Dan Hayes built more than a parts yard in central Oregon—he built Binder Boneyard into a living tribute to the enduring spirit of International Harvester®. Just one rule: Don’t call it a junkyard.

At the IH® Scout® and All Truck Nationals, past and present collide in a festival of motor oil, memories, and a celebration of machines that still move people.

Scout Motors joined the Outside Festival in Denver to reconnect with its roots, celebrate adventure, and showcase a new era of vehicles built for getting far, far off the grid.

We dug into the Scout brand archives and found a line that still says it all: “Anything less is just a car.” Decades later, it still captures the grit, purpose, and spirit that define us.

Every spring, just as the California desert begins to turn up the temps, a dedicated group of International Harvester® enthusiasts roll into the Calico, KOA Campground with a parade of trail-ready Scout® trucks.
