A colleague had a Scout Traveler. Said he'd bought it because it developed more torque at lower RPMs than other brands of SUV on the market at the time.
The problem was, IH bought many other parts from the Big 3 auto makers, and - based on price-of-the-day - changed them during the model year, sometimes several times. So if you needed a new widget for your 19XX IH vehicle, there were multiple choices.
And the prices at the IH dealer could be as much as 4x what the prices were for the same exact part at the Chrysler/Ford/GM dealer.
