Old Cars Weekly<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n1960-1980 International Harvester Scout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Take one look at a classic Scout, and you\u2019ll see where Ford got a lot of their ideas for the Bronco. About twice as many were sold, over a much longer production run, and with a lot <\/em>more variety. We\u2019re talking open top, closed top, pickup truck, factory camper, and even the long-wheelbase Terra and Traveler. Want to go full minimalist? The Super Scout had soft doors, just like a Jeep CJ. Scouts still hold up well in modern traffic, particularly the V8 models. The Scout is one of relatively few vehicles where you could literally double the size of the base engine; most models came as standard with the 152-cubic-inch Comanche I-4 that was precisely half of a 304 International Harvester V8, which was also<\/em> available in later models. There was even a diesel, provided by Nissan, but you\u2019ll have a devil of a time finding one now. A surprising number of Scouts left the factory as two-wheel-drive trucks, but even those are remarkably capable in the tough stuff. If you\u2019re interested in a Scout, now might be the time to buy; after sixty-three years, IH\u2019s groundbreaking SUV is finally getting the respect it has always deserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnlike the Jeep that inspired it, the original Land Rover earned no wartime laurels since it arrived too late to join World War II. Instead, the small off-road vehicle made its reputation in what were then called \u201cthe colonies\u201d and Africa \u2013 and the Series II was the model that carried most of the load. Not widely sold in the United States upon its introduction, the Series II has become popular as a legal import thanks to the \u201c25-year rule\u201d for nonconforming foreign vehicles. (Note we said legal <\/strong>import; we\u2019ll come back to that later.) It was available in a simply bewildering array of body styles, from the 88-inch-wheelbase wagon to \u201cforward control\u201d variants that look like modern box vans.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThese are hugely romantic, and usefully simple, vehicles. Designed to be maintained by amateurs, it\u2019s possible to completely overhaul the engine in a Series II without removing it! Don\u2019t confuse \u201cdurable\u201d with \u201creliable,\u201d however. You\u2019ll get to know the British Standard Whitworth very well, should you decide to buy one. However, the Land Rover didn\u2019t have everything its own way in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1960-1984 Toyota Land Cruiser \u201cFJ40\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Toyota\u2019s first attempt at a truly global vehicle was the Land Cruiser, and it right next to the Land Rover. Most people will agree that the Cruiser was better-made than the Rover, at the cost of some styling and character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The range of models was far simpler than what was offered by its British counterpart; we\u2019re talking hardtop three-door and five-door wagons for most of the production run, and with the occasional soft top. It\u2019s very hard to kill a Land Cruiser; the original engine is best known as a \u201cStovebolt Six\u201d and was put together by people who were serious about their jobs. And, the optional diesels were even tougher. Compared to Land Rovers, these rugged Toyotas have one fatal flaw: the bodies are usually steel, rather than aluminum \u2013 but the aftermarket has an answer to this, as it is now possible to rebuild your FJ40 with an aluminum body. Did Toyota expect that people would be doing ground up FJ40 builds six decades later? Probably not, but that\u2019s the unintended consequence of building an SUV this good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1969-1991 Chevrolet K5 Blazer and GMC Jimmy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n General Motors chose not to get into the small-SUV dogfight of the late sixties; they just didn\u2019t think the market was that important. Instead, their 1969 Blazer was simply a short-wheelbase pickup truck with a removable soft top. It has a foot more wheelbase than the 1966 Bronco, and it\u2019s two feet longer overall. Most of that extra size is put to excellent use, and the Blazer is more pleasant to operate than the smaller American SUVs pretty much anywhere the road is paved. Off-road, the Blazer\u2019s extra width, length, and weight aren\u2019t very helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of the Blazers on the market are second-generation examples from 1973 forward. They\u2019re a joy to operate and ride very well. As with any short-wheelbase truck, hard turns at higher speeds are to be avoided. But relatively speaking, the big Blazer is a safer bet in those conditions than any of the compact SUVs against which it competed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1981-1991 Isuzu Trooper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Criminally overlooked by a lot of classic SUV fans, Isuzu\u2019s first generation Trooper has a lot to offer. It was a substantially modernized, and very reliable, Japanese take on the early Bronco and Scout. And it\u2019s about the same size. Most surviving Troopers are three or five-door hardtops, powered by a hard-working inline four engine that is adequate enough for modern freeway use. A GM-sourced V6 improved the Trooper\u2019s reliability in later years. Avoid the diesel unless you really want one. With a style all their own, the Trooper is a great left-field choice and often available at a discount price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1982-1991 Mitsubishi Montero\/Pajero and Dodge Raider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Arguably a bit better thought out than the Trooper in many ways, the Montero is a solid competitor to the J70 Land Cruiser of the same era. It\u2019s roomy, reliable, and even a bit luxurious if you choose the right model. Globally popular under the Pajero nameplate, it\u2019s the only Mitsubishi a lot of people have ever seen, particularly in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Want to really turn some heads, or at least confuse a few people at your local car show? Try a Dodge Raider. This short-lived badge-engineered variant of the three door Montero was sold in domestic dealerships under the same agreement that brought in everything from the Plymouth Colt to the Chrysler Conquest. Just don\u2019t expect your Dodge dealership to have parts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1970-1996 Range Rover<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Few vehicles have changed so radically in both intent and configuration in a single generation. Introduced as a bare-bones two door model right after Woodstock, the \u201c100-inch station wagon\u201d was an attempt to build a modern Land Rover using everything that had been learned about suspension design and passenger comfort in the years since 1948.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a smashing success \u2013 and it became synonymous with old money, as British aristocrats found that their Range Rovers would handle the trip from their rural estates to London with more aplomb than even a Silver Shadow or Bentley T2. Land Rover rushed to re-engineer the 100-inch station wagon for a more upscale clientele as well as for American consumption. The leather-trimmed, long-wheelbase, five door variants that ended production in 1996 may have superficially resembled the 1970 original, but they were basically high-riding luxury cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1984-1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Based on the 1963 Jeep Wagoneer, the 1984 Grand Wagoneer was an attempt to take a bit of Range Rover\u2019s customer base with minimal development costs. It should have been a failure, but something about the Grand Wagoneer just felt right to upscale buyers from Martha\u2019s Vineyard to Montana.
1984-2023 Toyota Land Cruiser Series 70<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Wait a minute \u2013 isn\u2019t this a list of classic <\/em>SUVs? What\u2019s a brand-new vehicle, one that you can buy in showrooms, doing here? Well, it\u2019s not quite <\/em>that simple. Most of the showrooms that can still sell you a brand-new Series 70 Land Cruiser are in Africa, the Middle East, or Southeast Asia \u2013 places where the unequaled ruggedness and track record of the toughest-ever Land Cruiser can make the difference between life and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThat doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t get one, however. There\u2019s always good stock available of right-hand-drive imports from Japan that meet the \u201c25-year-rule\u201d allowing older vehicles that do not meet Federal standards into the country. (Your state may feel differently, so talk to your importer before you write a check.) Drive one, and you\u2019ll see why it\u2019s the default choice from Lagos to Jakarta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1990-2016 Land Rover Defender 90, 110, and 130<\/h2>\n\n\n\n These final variants of the original Land Rover design were often showroom paperweights when they were new, selling at big discounts when they could be sold at all \u2013 but that didn\u2019t last long. Today, a \u201cclassic\u201d Defender is worth big bucks. As a white 110 wagon, it has fresh-from-the-safari credibility: as a soft top 90, it\u2019s straight out of \u201cBeverly Hills, 90210.\u201d North American variants were powered by the classic Buick-derived Rover aluminum V8 and are a joy to drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now here\u2019s the tricky part: Defenders aren\u2019t worth nearly as much in the rest of the world, because they were sold in much greater numbers and often in much more modest specification. So it\u2019s been popular over the past 15 years or so to buy a newer Defender from overseas then title it with documentation from a worn-out Series II Land Rover, which can be had much cheaper and easier in the States. As tempting as this might be, don\u2019t try it. The Feds are now aware of the scheme and you can lose more than just your shiny classic Rover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee \u201cXJ\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The squared-off, compact Cherokee was that rarest of automobiles at its introduction. a truly original idea. It had an option of four doors when the competition only offered two. It offered a variety of four-wheel-drive systems, including one that was designed for on-road use. And it was built with a unibody frame rather than a traditional body-on-frame construction. Revolutionary, in every sense of the word. Customers responded first by making it a huge hit, and then by showing it so much love that Chrysler had to keep selling it next to the Grand Cherokee that was meant to replace it in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Few vehicles of any type have ever inspired the sort of fanatical loyalty that the Cherokee evokes easily in a broad spectrum of drivers. It\u2019s worth your time to see why.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBonus: 1929 Ford Model T Station Wagon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s odd to think of the Model T Wagon, which was available in factory-bodied form from 1929 onwards, as an SUV \u2013 but it meets the definition almost any way you slice it. Designed for a country that was largely bereft of paved roads, the Model T wagon took people places that had never seen an internal combustion engine before. And it had a true low range gear, something that can be a little hard to find on modern SUVs. In this, as in so many other ways, Henry Ford was ahead of his time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
What is considered to be the first classic SUV? That question is too hot to touch! You\u2019d be better off…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":30454,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tec_requires_first_save":true,"content-type":"","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[230,232,1],"tags":[2769,2770],"resource-type":[],"topics":[],"class_list":["post-30444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guides","category-featured","category-news","tag-classic-suv","tag-vintage-suv"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
